  If you don't like, what you got
  Why don't you change it?
  If your world is all screwed up
  Rearrange it
  Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell
  Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell

  If you don't like what you see
  Why don't you fight it?
  If you know there's something wrong
  Why don't you right it?

  Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell
  Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell

  In the end it comes down to your thinking
  And there's really nobody to blame
  When you feel like your ship is sinking
  And you're too tired to play the game
  Nobody's going to help you
  You've just got to stand up alone
  Dig in your heels and see how it feels
  To raise a little hell on your own!

  Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell
  Raise a little hell, raise a little hell, raise a little hell

  If you don't like, what you got
  Why don't you change it?
  If your world is all screwed up
  Rearrange it

  Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell
  Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell, Raise a little hell

  Pretty stereotypical song from a rock band, but still valid, and subtly different in a good way. (i.e. it's not stupid) The message is clear, and one of those that is easily forgotten, (like Carpe Deum) unless we make a point to remember it.

  The Hockey Song
  Hello out there, we're on the air, it's hockey night tonight
  Tension grows, the whistle blows, and the puck goes down the ice
  The goalie jumps and the players bump and the fans all go insane
  Someone roars, "Bobby scores!", at the good old hockey game
  Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
  And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game

  Second period....

  Where players dash, with skates aflash, the home team trails behind
  But they grab the puck and go bursting up, and they're down across the line
  They storm the crease, like bumblebees! They travel like a burning flame
  We see them slide, the puck inside, it's a one-one hockey game

  Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
  And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game

  Third period....

  Last game of the playoffs, Chicago and Montreal...
  Fan in audience: Toronto!
  Stompin' Tom: No, they were out of the playoffs this year.

  Take me where, hockey players, face off down the rink
  And the Stanley cup is all filled up for the champs who win the drink
  Now the final flick, of a hockey stick, and one gigantic scream
  "The puck is in! The Canadiens win!" the good old hockey game

  Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
  And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game

  Oh, the good old hockey game, is the best game you can name
  And the best game you can name, is the good old hockey game

  Kiz,

  Now the final flick of a hockey stick, and one gigantic scream. A Canadian team has won the cup-it's got to be a DREAM!!

  I took some liberty with the lyrics there.
