The Sounds and Rhythms in my Mind...

So. These are the songs currently playing in my mind. Lyrics under the cut.



Sara Bareilles - King of Anything

Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,

Keep drinking coffee,
stare me down across the table,
while I look outside.

So many things I'd say
if only I were able,
but I just keep quiet
and count the cars that
pass by.

You've got opinions, man,
we're all entitled to 'em,
but I never asked.

So, let me let me thank you for your time,
and try not to waste any more of mine.
Get out of here fast.

I hate to break it to you, babe,
but I'm not drowning.
There's no one here to save.

Who cares
if you disagree?
You are not me.
Who made you King of Anything?

So you dare
tell me who to be?
Who died
and made you King of Anything?

(Oh, oh, oh, oh,)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh,)
Ho-ooh-whoa,
(Oh, oh, oh, oh,)
(Oh, oh, oh,)

You sound so innocent,
all full of good intent,
swear you know best.

But you expect me to
jump up on board with you,
and ride off into your
delusional sunset.

I'm not the one who's lost
with no direction, oh.
But you'll never see.

You're so busy making maps,
with my name on them
in all caps.

You got the talking down,
just not the listening.

And who cares
if you disagree?
You are not me.
Who made you King of Anything?

So you dare
tell me who to be?
Who died
and made you King of Anything...

All my life,
I've tried
to make everybody happy
while I
just hurt
and hide,
waiting for someone to tell me
it's my turn
to decide,

Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh,

Who cares
if you disagree?
You are not me.
Who made you King of Anything?

So you dare
tell me who to be?
Who died
and made you King of Anything, oh.

Who cares
if you disagree?
You are not me.
Who made you King of Anything?

So you dare
tell me who to be?
Who died
and made you King of Anything?

(Lemme hold your crown, babe,)
Oh! Oh-oh,
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

MIKA - Kick Ass (We Are Young)


We are young,
We are strong,
We're not looking for where we belong.

We're not cool,
We are free,
And we're running with blood on our knees.

We could rule the world
on a silver platter,

from the wrong to the right light,
to the open stream.

With a crash and burn,
we could make it better.
Turn it upside down.
Just you and me.

We are the dream.
No other way
but to be.

We are young,
We are strong,
We're not looking for where we belong.

We're not cool,
We are free,
and we're running with blood on our knees.

I can change the world,
I can make it better.
Kick it up and down,
Take a chance on me.

With your fake smile,
and you think you're better.
Gonna put it down,
Rip it at your feet.

No bridge to burn,
nowhere to turn
from me.

We are young,
We are strong,
We're not looking for where we belong.

We're not cool,
We are free,
and we're running with blood on our knees.

We are young,
We are strong,
We're not looking for where we belong.

We're not cool,
We are free,
and we're running with blood on our knees.

What do they know about us?
Are they thinking of somebody else?
Are they wondering what
we might be?
Are they thinking of you or of me?

We are young,
We are strong,
We're not looking for where we belong.

We're not cool,
We are free,
and we're running with blood on our knees.

We are young,
(We could rule the world)
We are strong,
(on a silver platter.)
We're not looking for where we belong.

We're not cool,
We are free,
and we're running with blood on our knees.
(Just you and me.)

We are young,
We are strong,
We're not looking for where we belong.
(Just you and me.)

We're not cool,
We are free...
