The Song Fight Bulletin Board

Surprised myself on this one. I'm not generally given to social/political commentary. Or writing lyrics period. So the surprise isn't because I think they're good. It's because they are at all.

I Know My Rights - thehipcola

I dial in your frequency, can't make out the line
What did you find out there? The world is unfair.

Place that knowledge in your bag..don't know how to proceed?
Angry stirrings, a grumbling crowd... the Power makes you loud.

Why can't we see? Life in this small country
is not what it seems-it's rotten to the core.
Power corrupts those who wield it...absolutely
This could be you and me, but thankfully, I know my rights.

Ham (radio) in my hand, silent I crawl.
10 days since you flew away(got away, broke free)
Couldn't get your signal today (?), my hunger, hope, need: you're ok, and we two/too will be free...someday

Why can't we see? Life in this small country
is not what it seems-it's rotten to the core.
Power corrupts those who wield it...absolutely
This could be you and me, but thankfully, I know my rights.

In 1949 the armed forces of China invaded Tibet. Over 1 million Tibetan people have since died as a result of this occupation and its policy bent on destroying Tibetan culture. There are now over 120,000 Tibetan refugees living abroad.

They know their rights.

I'm sure everyone will to shocked to hear that I went for the political too.

I Know My Rights

The wolf is clawing at the door,
my conscience remains clear
I have the right to speak my mind
though no-one else might hear

I know my rights,
I know my rights,
I know my rights,
I'm still afraid
I know my rights,
I know my rights,
I know my rights,
I watch them fade

Stretched beneath the microscope
where shadows will not fall
I have the right to speak no more
I fear I've said it all

Swarming past the warning posts,
the hordes are closing fast
I have the right to mark my cross
and pray that it is cast

I know my rights,
I know my rights,
I know my rights,
I'm still afraid
I know my rights,
I know my rights,
I know my rights,
I watch them fade

I know my rights
watch them fade...

Breathing fire as black as night
White icy eyes surround my sights
The light at the end of my tunnel is blurred
I can only see silhouettes of her

I know my rights (6x)

I'm laying there so weak and thin
So powerless to your every whim
But the shine in both your eyes tell that
Deep down inside your loving this

I know my rights (29x)

I'm the foxy lady with the hair
Flying you all around the air
You're hot electric blue
We'll get the bonus, run fast in our shoes

I know my rights
I'm on my last life
You press left to save me
Buttonmashing A and B
The boss we'll attack together
Gaining bonus points forever
I know my rights

We'll get the gold
As we reach the goal
You're hot electric blue
This is the fight of our lives

I know my rights
I'm on my last life
You press left to save me
Buttonmashing A and B
The boss we'll attack together
Gaining bonus points forever
I know my rights

Until we lose the level
We push the restart button
And the chorus sings to us...
"Se-ga"

I know my rights
I'm on my last life
You press left to save me
Buttonmashing A and B
The boss we'll attack together
Gaining bonus points forever
I know my rights

I KNOW MY RIGHT(')S
-caravan ray

What are you looking at loser
You got a problem lets sort it out here
You got an ugly head, and I don’t like your shirt
And I suspect you may have spilled my beer

I’m bad-mouthed motorbiking mothers son
I don’t need no weapon I don’t need no gun
I got a world of pain in my fists of steel
I hope you enjoyed your last solid meal
(you won’t be having another one of them any time soon, not when I’ve finished with you mate)

I know my right’s got the power of an atom bomb
I know my left’s so fast you won’t know where it came from
I know my boot’s a cruise missile aimed at your balls
You don’t wanna be home when Mr Headbut calls

Oi, Oi, Oi, Oi

I got a bad reputation, I got a bad attitude
I’m big, bad, mean, dirty, violent and rude
Probably not your fault that you got in my way
Too bad buddy, it’s just not your day
(but seriously, this will hurt me more than it hurts you - maybe)

I know my right’s got the power of an atom bomb
I know my left’s so fast you won’t know where it came from
I know my boot’s a cruise missile aimed at your balls
You don’t wanna be home when Mr Headbut calls

I know my rights
Oi, Oi
I know my lefts
Oi, Oi
I know my boots
Oi, Oi
I know my rights
Oi, Oi

You, me, car-park, now
You, me, car-park, now
You, me, car-park, now
You, me, car-park, now
I’m gonna come a hellin’ down on you

I know my right’s got the power of an atom bomb
I know my left’s so fast you won’t know where it came from
I know my boot’s a cruise missile aimed at your balls
You don’t wanna be home when Mr Headbut calls
I know my right’s got the power of an atom bomb
I know my left’s so fast you won’t know where it came from
I know my boot’s a cruise missile aimed at your balls
You don’t wanna be home when Mr Headbut calls
You don’t wanna be home when Mr Headbut calls
You don’t wanna be home when Mr Headbut calls

I KNOW MY RIGHTS / King Arthur

I know my rights,
Got my excuses,
I'm well supplied with alibies;
At my age,
With all I've been through
With all I've witnessed through these eyes
You wouldn't think you'd see me out here
On the freeway flying kites,
But I know my rights.

I'm making an effort here,
But I don't seem to accomplish much;
I'm creating an atmosphere,
Trying to fake a little bit of that
Human touch.
Things are not as they appear.

(chorus)

I'm trying to emulate
The stuff I see on the MTV
See if I can impersonate
Without tripping into dishonesty;
I'm the guy you love to hate.

Here's a fine example
Of the classic fake ID.
If sixteen can be twenty-two
Why can't I be twenty three?

(chorus)

I Know My Rights - by roymond

I don't know of all the wrongs I done
countless follies less than fun
you may have tracked them all along now I'm
I'm happy signing off each one

when all is said and done
we'll see who lived - who won
unlike the wrongs I've done
I know my rights

where are all the trophies you prepared for me
and did you build a shiny shelf?
where can I go to drink a drink or three?
and count the wrongs you've done yourself

when all is said and done
we'll see who lived - who won
unlike the wrongs I've done
I know my rights

I don't know of all the wrongs I've done
but of your rights I know not one
it's fair to say we've had our ups and downs
though looking up I can see none

when all is said and done
we'll see who lived - who won
unlike the wrongs I've done
I know my rights

I Know My Rights

The last thing I remember
I was sittin' with the boys
And we were makin' plans
To go downtown and make some noise
As near as I can figure
It must have gone to Hell
'Cause I woke up in the morning
In this dark and dirty cell
And now I'm waitin' for my lawyer
'Cause this can't be where I belong
I know my rights but I don't remember what I did wrong

I'm goin' through my pockets
I'm looking for a clue
Some kind of explanation
For the things that I been through
All I found's a quarter
But there's no one I can call
It's the only thing they'll give me
And it doesn't help at all
'Cause if I know those no-good friends of mine
They didn't stick around for long
I know my rights but I don't remember what I did wrong

Well I been in here since Monday
That was seven days ago
I'm still waitin' for my attorney
Is he ever gonna show
Well what if I get stuck here
For the rest of my life
Another couple months and I might have to call my wife
Yeah, well maybe I'll just stay here
Lord knows a man ain't that strong
I know my rights but I don't remember what I did wrong
I know my rights but I can't remember what I did wrong
I know my rights but I'll be damned if I can remember a God damn thing 'bout what I did wrong

I Know My Rights by Pumpkin Buzzard

I got a story about a thing that happened to me
Something scary happened at the store
I saw something that I wasn't supposed to see
They came and I didn't see anything anymore

I know my rights

Someone's standing outside of my door
There was a bird resting on her shoulder
It's because of what I saw at the store
I said come in cuz it's getting a little colder
They keep knockin', knockin', should I let them in
I said it again, she wasn't listening
Ever since I saw it, I don't know where I've been
I am made of snow and I am glistening

I know my rights

I gotta get myself out of something today

Is it just me - or can everyone else see little "?"s where there should be apostrophes in my lyrics. What's that all about? I didn't do it on purpose.

no punctuation weirdness here Caravan Ray...I get your apostrophes.

yeah, i do... did you cut and paste the text from microsoft word or some such? i think they do weird things to the characters, sometimes. i'm using mozilla and do see "?".

I Know My Rights - Hoblit

There's no such thing as a perfect world
and too many times
the fathers are left behind

Checkered pasts are hard to outlive
and too many times
the fathers are left behind

But these events can move a soul
and a man can change
in this bitter exchange

Even though the law can be on my side
and I know my rights
but I want no more fights

I wish I could go back and change my world
but I can't unmake
my evil mistakes

Checkered pasts cannot be outlived
and too many times
the fathers are left behind

I want no more fights
but I know my rights.

i know my rights
when entering songfights
my song will be posted
and songfight.org will host it

people can listen to it
even if it's a piece of shit
but you might be out of luck
if your name begins with 'goatfuck'

but there are things you should know
only enter one song a go
no commercial covers
or songs written by others

the song must be written for the fight
hopefully before the last night
please keep the bitrate down
and enjoy the music all over town

i know my rights
you don't have to tell me twice
but maybe tell lightning ear fart
and those who mistake garbage for art

i know my rights
last one out please shut off the lights
