    Intro....shouldn't that be Cheese and Crackers?

    Valis, speaking of cheese and cutting it.. Here is another Tap favorite that may be apt:

    Break Like the Wind
    We are the children who grew too fast 
    We are the dust of a future past
    We raise our voices in the night
    Crying to heaven
    And will our voices be heard
    Or will they Break Like The Wind
    We are the footprints across the sands
    We are the thumb on a stranger's hand
    We made a promise in the night
    Swearing to heaven Is this a promise we keep
    Or one we Break Like The Wind
    Hey!
    We are the guests who have stayed too long
    We are the end of the endless song
    We send our hearts into the night
    Soaring to heaven
    And will out hearts still beat on
    Or will they Break Like The Wind
    Ooh, Break Like The Wind.

    Freak on A Leash by Korn is another one:

    Something takes a part of me.
    Something lost and never seen.
    Everytime I start to believe,
    Something's raped and taken from me... from me.
    Life's got to always be messing with me. (You wanna see the light)
    Can't they chill and let me be free? (So do I)
    Can't I take away all this pain. (You wanna see the light)
    I try to every night, all in vain... in vain.
    Sometimes I cannot take this place.
    Sometimes it's my life I can't taste.
    Sometimes I cannot feel my face.
    You'll never see me fall from grace
    Something takes a part of me.
    You and I were meant to be.
    A cheap f*ck for me to lay
    Something takes a part of me.
    Feeling like a freak on a leash. (You wanna see the light)
    Feeling like I have no release. (So do I)
    How many times have I felt diseased? (You wanna see the light)
    Nothing in my life is free... is free

    The theme from Barney:

    I love you - you love me - we're a happy fa-mi-ly - with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you - won't you say you love me too?

    It gives me the same feeling of nausea and the desire to run screaming from the building.

    For What It's Worth
    Buffalo Springfield
     
    There's something happening here
    What it is ain't exactly clear
    		
    There's a man with a gun book over there
    Telling me I got to beware
    I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    There's battle lines being drawn
    Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
    Young people speaking their minds
    Getting so much resistance from behind
    I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    What a field-day
    					for
    					in the heat
    A thousand people in the street
    Singing songs and carrying 
    				signs
    				magazines
    Mostly say, hooray for our side
    It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    Paranoia strikes deep
    Into your life it will creep
    			
    It starts when you're always afraid
    You step out of line, the man come and
    					take  shun you away
    We better stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    		
    Stop, hey, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    Stop, now, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down
    Stop, children, what's that sound
    Everybody look what's going down

    PRETTY VACANT

    by the Sex Pistols

    There's no point in asking you'll get no reply
    Oh just remember I don't decide
    I got no reason, it's all too much
    You'll always find us out to lunch

    Oh, we're so pretty
    Oh so pretty
    We're vacant

    Oh, we're so pretty
    Oh so pretty
    We're vacant

    Don't ask us to attend 'cos we're not all there
    Oh don't pretend 'cos I don't care
    I don't believe illusions 'cos too much is real
    So stop your cheap comment 'cos we know what we feel

    Oh, we're so pretty
    Oh so pretty
    We're vacant

    Oh, we're so pretty
    Oh so pretty
    We're vacant

    Oh, we're so pretty
    Oh so pretty
    We're vacant

    Ah, but now and we don't care

    There's no point in asking you'll get no reply
    Oh just remember I don't decide
    I got no reason, it's all too much
    You'll always find us out to lunch

    Oh, we're so pretty
    Oh so pretty
    We're vacant

    Oh, we're so pretty
    Oh so pretty
    We're vacant

    Oh, we're so pretty
    Oh so pretty
    We're vacant

    Ah, but now and we don't care pretty, a pretty vacant

    Care

    Clocks Don't Bring Tomorrow, Knives Don't Bring Good News

    Bruce Cockburn You tell me tomorrow may be coming
    Sometimes I wonder if it hasn't already been
    But like the firebreathing rebel
    I'm not sure what I mean
    All I know is you're not me and that you'll never be

    He tells me the future is not to be believed in
    "Don't waste your wishes on what hasn't already been"
    But like the strong arm policeman
    He's not sure what he means
    All he knows is he can't see what he will come to be

    He says if we burn up the roof from above us
    We surely will see the light and maybe more
    But like the burnt out hooker
    We'll only see down to the floor
    All we know is that we're here until we are set free

    The Rolling Stones - (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

    I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
    'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
    I can't get no, I can't get no

    When I'm drivin' in my car, and the man come on the radio
    He's tellin' me more and more about some useless information
    Supposed to fire my imagination

    I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey
    That's what I say
    I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
    'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
    I can't get no, I can't get no

    When I'm watchin' my TV and a man comes on and tell me
    How white my shirts can be
    But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
    The same cigarettes as me

    I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey
    That's what I say
    I can't get no satisfaction, I can't get no satisfaction
    'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try
    I can't get no, I can't get no

    When I'm ridin' round the world
    And I'm doin' this and I'm signin' that
    And I'm tryin' to make some girl, who tells me
    Baby, better come back maybe next week
    'Cause you see I'm on a losing streak
    I can't get no. Oh, no, no, no. Hey, hey, hey
    That's what I say. I can't get no, I can't get no
    I can't get no satisfaction, no satisfaction
    No satisfaction, no satisfaction

    Used and Abused Midnight Oil
    I was taken downtown for my part in the demonstration
    I was used and abused with the light in my eye at the station
    I said
    No no You got the wrong (wo)man
    No no Don't pick on me again
    No no I'm going home to my
    Family and friends

    I'm too busy making a living to make any money
    And the living ain't easy and the money disappears in a hurry, now
    I said
    No no I should,ve stayed at school
    No no They're treating me so cruel
    No no I'm breaking all the rules
    Breaking all the rules

    No no

    I was talking to the man he said we're gonna make a deal
    I was fooled into thinking the paper in my pocket was real
    I said
    No no You've been taken again
    No no You're losing all your friends
    No no It's just a matter of sense
    It's just a matter of sense

    and perhaps in the future

    I've Been Abused

    soundclip

    by Chester Burnett a.k.a. Howlin' Wolf recording of 1959
    from Change My Way (MCA 93001) , copyright noticeAll my life, I've caught it hard
    All of my life, I have caught it hard
    I've been abused, and I've been scorned

    I feel so bad, it ain't gonna last
    I feel so bad, this ain't gonna last
    I've been scorned, and I've been kicked out

    I've been abused, I've been talked about
    I've been abused, I've been talked about
    I've been scorned, sure as you born

    I'm so mad, I can shout
    I'm so mad, I can shout
    I've been abused, and I've been kicked out
