A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,

Working Class Hero - John Lennon

[scotus]

And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror

Suzanne by Leonard Cohen

[BootSlick55]

Now, George was a good straight boy to begin with
But there was bad blood in him someway
and he got into the magic bullets
that lead straight to the Devil's work
Just like marijuana leads to heroin
You think you can take them bullets and leave 'em, do you?
just save a few for your bad days, well...

Well, we all have those bad days when we can't hit for shit
And the more of them magics you use
the more bad days you have without them
So it comes down to finally
all your days being bad without the bullets
it's magics or nothing
Time to stop chippying around and kidding yourself
Kid, you're hooked, heavy as lead

And that's where old George found himself
Out there at the crossroads
moulding the Devil's bullets.
Now a man figures it's his bullets, so it'll take what he wants
But it don't always work out that way
You see, some bullets are special, for a single target
a certain stag or a certain person
And no matter where you aim, that's where the bullet'll end up
And in the moment of aiming, the gun turns into a dowser's wand
and points where the bullet wants to go

George Schmid was moving in a series of convulsive spasms
Like someone in an epileptic fit
With his face contorted and his eyes wild like a lassoed horse
bracing his legs, but something kept pulling him on
Now he is picking up the skulls and making the circle

I guess old George didn't rightly know what he was getting himself into
The fit was on him and it carried him right to the crossroads

Tom Waits 'Crossroads'

[Forrest]

Fools in love they think they're heroes
Cos they get to feel no pain
I say fools in love are zeroes
I should know, I should know
Because this fool's in love again


Joe Jackson - Fools in love

[Navillus04]

Hey oh, let's go
Shoot 'em in the back now
What they want? I don't know
They're all revved up and ready to go

Bliztkrieg Bop - The Ramones

[Simonsays69]

I love the straits

[samlad]

I did not mean
To blow your mind.
That shit happens to me,
All the time!

Tenacious D, Master Exploder

[littlenick]

a bit off the beaten track - but permanently relevant
RUSH - witch hunt

They say there are strangers who threaten us
In our immigrants and infidels
They say there is strangeness too dangerous
In our theaters and bookstore shelves
That those who know what's best for us
Must rise and save us from ourselves

Quick to judge
Quick to anger
Slow to understand
Ignorance and prejudice
And fear walk hand in hand...

[Doozer]

gave birth to a fire
It's like it's features where burning
I'm in control
I am the son of God
Somebody help me sing
Can anybody hear me?
Line up your soldiers one final time
We're gonna have a ball

The Captain Biffy Clyro

I dont have to sell my soul
He is already in me

Stone Roses I want to be adored

[Iashaf]

He would see faces in movies, on T.V., in magazines, and in books....
He thought that some of these faces might be right for him....And
that through the years, by keeping an ideal facial structure fixed in his
mind....Or somewhere in the back of his mind....That he might, by
force of will, cause his face to approach those of his ideal
