Rock & Roll songs with MGTOW themed lyrics – Take 7

[GregB0Participant]

Below is another installment of Rock and Roll songs that have MGTOW related lyrics. Enjoy

First up: Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – Runnin’ Down a Dream

It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin’
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin’ little Runaway
I was flyin’

(Chorus) Yeah runnin’ down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin’ on a mystery, goin’ wherever it leads
Runnin’ down a dream

I felt so good like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine

(Chorus)

I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There’s something good waitin’ down this road
I’m pickin’ up whatever’s mine

(Chorus)

Second up is: Canned Heat – On the Road Again

Well, I’m so tired of crying
But I’m out on the road again
I’m on the road again
Well, I’m so tired of crying
But I’m out on the road again
I’m on the road again
I ain’t got no woman
Just to call my special friend

You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
I didn’t have no payroll
Not even no place to go

And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young
When I was quite young
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young
When I was quite young
She said “Lord, have mercy
On my wicked son”

Take a hint from me, mama
Please don’t you cry no more
Don’t you cry no more
Take a hint from me, mama
Please don’t you cry no more
Don’t you cry no more
‘Cause it’s soon one morning
Down the road I’m going

But I ain’t going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
But I ain’t going down
That long old lonesome road
All by myself
I can’t carry you, baby
Gonna carry somebody else

And last but not least: Stone Temple Pilots – Interstate Love Song

Waiting on a Sunday afternoon
For what I read between the lines
Your lies
Feelin’ like a hand in rusted shame
So do you laugh at those who cry?
Reply?

(Chorus) Leavin’ on a southern train
Only yesterday you lied,
Promises of what I seemed to be
Only watched the time go by
All of these things you said to me

Breathing is the hardest thing to do
With all I’ve said and all that’s dead for you
You lied
Good bye

(Chorus)

​"​My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.​" - Clarence Buddinton Kelland

If you rescue a damsel in distress, all you will get is a distressed damsel.

Change the name to whatever you want. The fact is, we do not know love, because there is no such thing. Perfect how he says it. Sure, I love you, but I don’t know what love is.

Elizabeth
The Airborne Toxic Event

There’s a distance in your eyes
That’s why a smile is always a surprise
When you call and you talk to me
I wonder which person you’re going to be
She said, all your songs are sad songs
Why do you always have to see the worst of it
Could you write me just one love song?
Put my name somewhere in the middle of it
It’s not hard to write Elizabeth
Just close your eyes boy and take your best guess
Cause the truth is hard, isn’t it?
She said “I’ll be listening in my favorite white dress”

All these quite afternoons,
She said, “I wonder if I’ve given up my love too soon”
As her hair fell from her curls
I said you’re pretty uptight for a Mexican Girl
She said, all your songs are sad songs
Why do you always have to make me feel like s~~~?
Could you write me just one love song?
And put my name somewhere in the middle of it
And if you call the song Elizabeth
All my friends will know it’s about me
Cause the truth is hard, isn’t it?
Don’t take too long, I just know you’ll come back to me

I said all these songs are love songs
Just love at times can make you feel like s~~~
So you write a string of words down
It’s better if there’s some truth in it
It’s true I love you Elizabeth
I love the way you move in that silly white dress
Because the truth is hard to admit
I’ve never known love
This is just my best guess

This is another, and one I sent to my ex, when she kept playing her games. It is funny how a little song can make a woman flip her lid.

Changing
The Airborne Toxic Event

All these buckets of rain, I’ve heard enough about.
You say that I lied.
I am a gentleman didn’t I ask for a place I could stay?
What were we both thinking?
The next part just got in the way.
You were just always talking about changing, changing
What if I was the same then, same then,
The same I always was?

All these things that you say,
Like I’ll forget about the mind-numbing games that you play.
I am a gentleman, didn’t I pay for every laugh, every dime,
Every bit every time and then you feed me some line.
I won’t hear one more word about changing, changing
Guess what I am the same man,
Same man, same man I’ve always been.

Days pass and turn into weeks, when we don’t even speak.
We just lay wide awake and pretend we’re asleep.
You go home alone and you’re checking your phone
And you’re looking at me like I’m something you own.

All these buckets of rain,
You can’t forget about it,
You say I never tried.
I am a gentleman,
Didn’t I answer every time that you call,
Pick you up when you fall
But you never listen at all
You were just always talking about changing, changing
Guess what I am the same man, same man.
Changing, changing
Guess what I am the same man, same man.
Changing, changing
Guess what I am the same man, same man.

I won’t ever leave while you want me to stay
Nothing you could do that would turn me away
Hanging on every word
Believing the things I heard
Being a fool
You’ve taken my life, so take my soul
That’s what you said and I believed it all
I want to be with you as long
As you want me to
I won’t move away
Ain’t that what you said?
Ain’t that what you said?
Ain’t that what you said?
Liar, liar, liar

May I see no light
May I see no day
If I ever leave while you want me to stay
You can believe in me
I won’t be leaving
I won’t let you go
Ain’t that what you said?
Ain’t that what you said?
Ain’t that what you said?
Liar, liar, liar

Evil Woman
Electric Light Orchestra

You made a fool of me
But them broken dreams have got to end

Hey, woman, you got the blues
‘Cause you ain’t got no one else to use
There’s an open road that leads nowhere
So just make some miles between here and there
There’s a hole in my head where the rain comes in
You took my body and played to win
Ha, ha, woman, it’s a cryin’ shame
But you ain’t got nobody else to blame

Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold, too hard to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin’ in a daze
Ha, ha, woman, what you gonna do
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It’s so good that you’re feelin’ pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train

Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman (hey hey hey)

Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman

Evil woman, how you done me wrong
But now you’re tryin’ to wail a diff’rent song
Ha, ha, funny, how you broke me up
You made the wine, now you drink a cup
I came runnin’ ev’ry time you cried
Thought I saw love smilin’ in your eyes
Ha, ha, very nice to know
That you ain’t got no place left to go

Evil woman
Evil woman
Evil woman (evil woman)
Evil woman

Evil woman (what an evil woman)
Evil woman (such an evil woman)
Evil woman (what an evil woman)
Evil woman (such an evil woman)

Evil woman (what an evil woman)
Evil woman (such an evil woman)
Evil woman (what an evil woman)
Evil woman (such an evil woman)

You have to watch the video to get the full message. The video is a parallel to many of our stories.

What’s the deal with my brain?
Why am I so obviously insane?
In a perfect situation
I let love down the drain

There’s the pitch, slow and straight
All I have to do is swing
And I’m the hero
But I’m the zero

Hungry nights, once again
Now it’s getting unbelievable
‘Cause I could not have it better
But I just can’t get no play

From the girls, all around
As they search the night for someone to hold onto
I just pass through

Singing
Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa
Singing
Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa

Get your hands off the girl
Can’t you see that she belongs to me?
And I don’t appreciate this excess company

Though I can’t satisfy all the needs she has
And so she starts to wander
Can you blame her?

Singing
Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa
Singing
Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa

Tell me there’s a logic out there
Leading me to better prepare
For the day that something really special might come

Tell me there’s some hope for me
I don’t wanna be lonely
For the rest of my days on the Earth, oh

Oh ho, ho ho, oh ho whoa
Singing
Oh ho, oh ho, oh ho whoa

Singing
Oh ho, whoa oh
Whoa oh oh, whoa, whoa oh

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh
(Perfect situation)
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh

Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh
(Perfect situation)
Whoa oh oh, whoa oh oh
Whoa oh oh

Perfect situation

Another song that the video makes fantastic with real life parallels. As it is said, Bro’s before Ho’s.

Weezer
“(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To”

The moon was shining on the lake at night
The slayer T-shirt fit the scene just right
Your smeared mascara
I looked into your eyes and saw a light

You told me stories about your chickadees
They didn’t like BB guns or stupid archery
And charmed the lifeguard
He let them use the pool all day for free

Then the conversation stopped
And I looked down at my feet
I was next to you and you were right there next to me
Then I said

Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to
So make them move (make them move)
cause I ain’t got all night

The rest of the summer was the best we’ve ever had
We watched titanic and it didn’t make us sad
I took you to Best Buy
You took me home to meet your mom and dad

Your mom cooked meat loaf, even though I don’t eat meat
I dug you so much, I took some for the team
Your dad was silent His eyes were fixed to what was on TV

And the conversation stopped, and I looked down at the ring
Your folks were next to you
And you were right there next to me
And I said

Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
I swear it’s true (swear it’s true)
Without you my heart is blue
Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
So make the move (make the move)
cause I ain’t got all night

So much pain may come our way
There may come a day when we have nothing left to say

When the conversation stops and we’re facing our defeat
I’ll be next to you and you’ll be right there next to me
Then I’ll say

Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
I swear it’s true (swear it’s true)
Without you my heart is blue ooooooh
Girl, if you’re wondering if I want you to (I want you to)
I want you to (I want you to)
So make the move (make the move)
Cause I ain’t got all night

Two from the same album:

The Mission, Trail of Scarlet

It was the word from Milo, A word to the wise
That set me straight about your cheating and your lies
Set down between us like the bottle that we shared
He had to tell me because no one else dared
I’m so disappointed
I’m so very, very let down

And you can have the bed and the stains on the sheets
I’ll sleep on the floor, I can’t bear your deceit
You gave yourself away for the sake of a thrill
For the price of my conceit, you were a steal
I’m so devastated
I’m so very, very let down

You leave a trail of scarlet like footsteps in the snow
You leave a trail of scarlet everywhere you go
And I’m the last to know

And isn’t it just like you to shake the faith in me?
I gave you all I have to give but I couldn’t give you all you need
And something that had died was all we had to lose
And the worst thing I ever did to you was ask you to choose
I’m so very lonely
I’m so very, very let down

You leave a trail of scarlet like footsteps in the snow
You leave a trail of scarlet everywhere you go and I’m
The last to know

And didn’t we once have it all? held it in our hands
But it’s too easy to deceive a trust that makes no demands

You leave a trail of scarlet like footsteps in the snow
You leave a trail of scarlet everywhere you go and I’m the last to know

The Mission, The Spider and the Fly

Save me, save me, save me from the spider, begs the fly
I’m caught in her web and she’s bleeding me dry
She wears her seduction like the bride wears her veil
She promised me Heaven but all she gives me is Hell
Oh no, no she’s pulling me under
She’s dragging me down, tearing me asunder
I’m sweating hot steel bullets, my mouth is bone dry
My heart beats too fast,can’t catch my breath
The spider the spider traps the flyshe dresses in white but her heart’s as black as sin
Her legs are wrapped around me feel her crawl across my skin
As she sucks the life outta me, I can’t fly anymore
And I shiver and I shudder and surrender to the whore

Oh no, no, no, no, no she’s dragging me under
She’s pulling me down, tearing me asunder
I’m sweating hot steel bullets, my mouth, my mouth is bone dry
My heart beats too fast, can’t catch my breath,
The spider, the spider’s trapped the fly

"...reinvent your life because you must; it is your life and its history and the present belong only to you.” It is Your Life, Charles Bukowski.

So many times you tried to take the best of me.
So many times, now you’re gonna take the rest of me.
Better look at what you’re doing before it’s too late.
It’s a fine line you’re treadin’ between love and hate.
There’ll be a cold day in hell
before I’m coming back to you.

So many times you tried to play a dead end game.
Yes, you did.
I tried to tell you, but you’d never wanna take the blame.
Now you’ve pushed me to the limit, and I can’t take no more.
You’d better take one last look before I’m out the door.
There’ll be a cold day in hell
before I’m coming back to you.

You never listened when I told you
that you were way out of line.
Too busy talkin’ to listen,
accusing me of telling lies.

So many times you tried to get the best of me.
Yes, you did.
So many times, but now you’re gonna take the rest of me.
Well, it’s too late for sorry and it’s too late for tears.
Better take one last look before I disappear.
There’ll be a cold day in hell
before I’m coming back to you.
There’ll be a cold day in hell
before I’m coming back to you.
There’ll be a cold day in hell
before I’m coming back to you.
Yeah!
(Gonna be a cold day in hell)
(Gonna be a cold day in hell)
(Gonna be a cold day in hell)
(Gonna be a cold day in hell)
(Gonna be a cold day in hell)
(Gonna be a cold day in hell)
(Gonna be a cold day in hell)
(It’s gonna be a cold, cold day in hell)
