Society by Pearl Jam

Forever one of my favorites!!! I say these words in my head a lot during the day..."Society, you're a crazy breed, I hope you're not lonely without me..."
I wish I could hear this one live! Especially with the full band backing him up! 

It's a mystery to me
We have a greed
With which we have agreed

You think you have to want
More than you need
Until you have it all you won't be free

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me

When you want more than you have
You think you need
And when you think more than you want
Your thoughts begin to bleed

I think I need to find a bigger place
'Cause when you have more than you think
You need more space

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

There's those thinking more or less less is more
But if less is more how you're keeping score?
Means for every point you make
Your level drops
Kinda like it's starting from the top
You can't do that

Society, you're a crazy breed
I hope you're not lonely without me
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Society, have mercy on me
I hope you're not angry if I disagree
Society, crazy and deep
I hope you're not lonely without me

Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix

Reminds me of my dad! He taught me how to appreciate a damn good guitarist! According to him, one of the best!

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Alright.
I'm goin down to shoot my old lady

You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.

And that ain't too cool.
Uh, hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down
You shot her down now.

Uh, hey Joe, I heard you shot you old lady down
You shot her down to the ground. Yeah!
Yes, I did, I shot her

You know I caught her messin' 'round
Messin' 'round town.
Uh, yes I did, I shot her
You know I caught my old lady messin' 'round town.
And I gave her the gun and I shot her!

Yeah.
Ah, dig it!
Ah! Ah!
Oh, alright.
Hey Joe, said now
uh, where you gonna run to now, where you gonna run to?
Yeah.
Hey Joe, I said
where you goin' to run
to now, where you, where you gonna go?

Well, dig it!
I'm goin' way down south, way down south
way down south to Mexico way! Alright!
I'm goin' way down south
way down where I can be free!

Ain't no one gonna find me babe!
Ain't no hangman gonna
he ain't gonna put a rope around me!
You better believe it right now!

I gotta go now!
Hey, hey, hey Joe
you better run on down!
Goodbye, everybody. Ow!
Hey, hey Joe, what'd I say
run on down.

House of the Rising Sun by The Animals

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in New Orleans

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Oh mother tell your children
Not to do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the House of the Rising Sun

Well, I got one foot on the platform
The other foot on the train
I'm goin' back to New Orleans
To wear that ball and chain

Well, there is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God I know I'm one
