A bit of a forum game, but since it deals heavily with songs, I feel it should go here.
The rules are quite simple: Simply name the song that the above lyrics are from. Try and see if you can do it without using Google. :P
That being said, name this song:
I was there when the bear ate his head, He thought it was a candy. (Everyone knows in the end) Knock, knock, on the door. Whose it for? Theres nobody in here. (Look in the mirror my friend)
Evil S I yes to find a shore, A beach that doesn't quiver anymore, Where we can crush some plants to paint my walls, And I won't try to fight in the weekend wars Was I? I was to lazy to bathe Or paint or write or try to make a change. Now I can shoot a gun to kill my lunch And I don't have to love or think too much

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves In labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant time Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine
I killed another man today,Shot him in his back as he ran away,Then I blew up his hut with a hand grenade, Cut his wife's throat as she put her hands to pray, Just five more dawgs then we can get a soccer ball,That's what my commander say,How Old? Well I'm like ten, eleven, been fighting since I was like six or seven,Now I don't know much about where I'm from but I know I strike fear everywhere I come,Government want me dead so I wear my gun, I really want the rocket launcher but I'm still too young,This candy give me courage not to fear no one,To fear no pain, and hear no tongue,So I hear no screams and I shed no tear,If I'm in your dreams then your end is near.
mr. sunshine, mr. rainstorm, meet me in the conference room we need to brainstorm need some middle ground, need an even keel but you're at war picking sides give me fever chills I'll take em' both like my flu shot broke I need the give and take to keep me out of that moat my head above water thoughts to those lost this week all these tragedies stay on repeat like we can't shake ****, I can't speak on it fist to the sky but I can't beat on it drink in my cup so I'm gon' sip on it cam newton's prolly pissed, he can't stiff arm em' all these levels of these relative problems and benevolence is elegance for those who can solve them i'm feeling pretty low like I"m stuck at the bottom but I know I'll rebound like the bulls with Rodman I am, just exactly what I will be just a guy who can rhyme n' chop ill beats one day I'll recover from what ails me till then I'm on that ****-- what the sales be
I knew the title, but i'll admit to googling the artist.
It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing Every time you gave them shelter I know that kind of man It's hard to hold the hand of anyone who is reaching for the sky just to surrender, who is reaching for the sky just to surrender. And then sweeping up the jokers that he left behind you find he did not leave you very much not even laughter Like any dealer he was watching for the card that is so high and wild he'll never need to deal another He was just some Joseph looking for a manger He was just some Joseph looking for a manger
For the sake of keeping this thread alive...I had to google the answer...
Leonard Cohen - The Stranger Song
Little android man born without a soul without that force of reason the scissors took control. Little android man born without a heart if he's in your vicinity, he'll cut you apart!
I waited eight long months, She finally set him free. I told him I couldn't lie he was the only one for me. Two weeks and we caught on fire, She's got it out for me, But I wear the biggest smile.
Finally... my turn to post lyrics again! =) Here we go!

Now Listen Not a dime, I can't pay my rent I can barely make it through the week Saturday night I'd like to make my girl But right now I can't make ends meet
I'm always workin' slavin' every day Gotta get away from that same old same old I need a chance just to get away If you could hear me think this is what I'd say
That song gets stuck in my head almost every day. I can't complain, because it's a great song, but those lyrics are definitely drilled into my mind.
I used to think she was the greatest thing I really cared, gave her a diamond ring She said she'd rather die than ever leave me Well I never saw her face since then And if the law don't get her then I will-
