Nixy's Anthem

[Nixy]

Artist : Jo Dee Messina

Song : My Give A Damn's Busted

Lyrics :

(1st verse)

Well you filled up my head,
With so many lies.
Twisted my heart
Til something snapped inside.
I'd like to give it one more try
but my give a damn's busted.

You can crawl back home
say you were wrong,
stand out in the yard
cry all night long.
Well go ahead and water my lawn.
My give a damn's busted.

(chorus)

I really wanna care,
I wanna feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper...
Nope...
Sorry...
Nothin'

(2nd verse)

You can say you've got issues.
You can say you're a victim.
It's all your parents fault,
After all you didn't pick em
Well maybe Oprah's got time to listen.
My give a damn's busted.

(*Well let me get this straight now)
Your therapist said
It was all just a phase
A product of the prozac
And your co-dependent ways
So uhh ... who's your enabler these days
My give a damn's busted.

(chorus)

I really wanna care,
I wanna feel somethin'
Let me dig a little deeper...
Eeh-Eeh

(3rd verse)
(*Oh you're tellin' me)
It's a desperate situation,
No tellin' what you'll do.
If I don't forgive you,
You say your life is through.
Well honey... give me somethin' I can use.
(My give a damn's busted.)
(*Ahh you knew I was gonna say that, didn't ya.)

My give a damn's busted (*ha ha)
My give a damn's busted
Honey trust me
My give a damn's busted yeahhh ...
OOOH
My give a damn's busted yeahhh
(*You wanna do what?)(*ha ha ha ha ha)
My give a damn's busted
(*Get the party started thats what we'll do)
My give a damn's busted
(*I'm not done honey, trust me)
My give a damn's busted
(*Been there, done that)
My give a damn's busted
My give a damn's busted​

 

[Professur]

Alright, now what the hell's that about?

 

[Professur]

We grew up with ...

Trooper - Raise a little hell
Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell
Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell
Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

If you don't like
What you got
Why don't you change it
If your world is all screwed up
Rearrange it

Raise a little Hell ...

If you don't like what you see
Why don't you fight it
If you know there's something wrong
Why don't you right it

Raise a little Hell ...

In the end it comes down to your thinking
And there's really nobody to blame
When it feels like your ship is sinking
And you're too tired to play the game

Nobody's going to help you
You've just got to stand up alone
And dig in your heels
And see how it feels
To raise a little Hell of your own

Raise a little Hell ...

If you don't like
What you got
Why don't you change it
If your world is all screwed up
Rearrange it

Raise a little Hell ...

But now I'm more

Two for the show
And my mother wants to go
It'll break her heart when I tell her
She's too old

I'm in my place
I got makeup all over my face
I think I know my lines
But I dunno

One for the money
Two for the show
Three for the lady on the radio
Four might be the one
You'll never know, you'll never know
If only there was a better way to go {way to go}
Two for the show

Waiting in the wings
While the queen of virtue sings
It'll break her heart when I tell her
She's out of key

If they gave her half a chance
She could soon learn how to dance
So she could earn her living
Gracefully

One for the money
Two for the show
Three for the lady on the radio
Four might be the one
You'll never know, you'll never know
If only there was a better way to go {way to go}
Two for the show

 

[Nixy]

But the one I posted reflects me exactly right now Right down to the line about his parents

 

[Professur]

How about ...

Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back
Meatloaf

I want my money back
i want my money back
it's all or nothing
And nothing's all i ever get
every time i turn it on
i burn it up and burn it out
It's always something
there's always something going wrong
that's the only guarantee
that's what this is all about
It's a never ending attack
everything's a lie, and that's a fact
life is a lemon and i want my money back!
And all the morons
and all the stooges with their coins
they're the ones who make the rules
it's not a game - it's just a rout
There's desperation
there's desperation in the air
it leaves a stain on all your clothes
and no detergant gets it out
And we're always slipping through the the cracks
then the movie's over - fade to black
life is a lemon and i want my money back!
I want my money back
i want my money back
What about love?
it's defective!
it's always breaking in half
What about sex?!
it's defective!
it's never built to really last
What about your family?
it's defective!
all the batteries are shot
What about your friends?
they're defective!
all the parts are out of stock
What about hope?
it's defective!
it's corroded and decayed
What about faith?
it's defective!
it's tattered and it's frayed
What about your gods?
they're defective!
they forgot the warranty
What about your town?
it's defective!
it's a dead end street to me
What about your school?
it's defective!
it's a pack of useless lies
What about your work?
it's defective!
it's a crock and then you die
What about your childhood?
it's defective!
it's dead and buried in the past
What about your future?
it's defective!
and you can shove it up your ass!!
I want my money back
i want my money back
It's all or nothing
and nothing's all i ever get
every time i turn it on
i burn it up and burn it out
It's a never ending attack
everything's a lie, and that's a fact
life is a lemon and i want my money back!
And we're always slipping through the the cracks
then the movie's over-fade to black
life is a lemon and i want my money back!

 

[Nixy]

Nope, life isn't a lemon. Life is GREAT! A certain person was just a lemon

Thanks but I'm doing OK. It's a bit of an adjustment to make but I know I did the right thing for me

 

[Uki Chick]

[Inkara1]

How about ...

I'd just had that song in my head after looking at the meatloaf recipe thread... now any hope of removing it from my head is gone, you ass-fucker.

Hey, are you lonely?
Has summer gone so slowly?
We found the ground,
but that damage was done.
It's cold as you fade into the sun.
Where'd you go? To me?
But you're alive!
Well, it's only
fallen frames, they told me.
You stand out, it's so loud...
and so what if it is.
It's cold when you fade into the wind.
Where'd it go to?

Chorus:
So what if you catch me,
where would we land?
In somebody's life
forsaking his hands.
Sing to me hope as she's
thrown on the sand.
All of your works
are rated again.
Where to go?

But it's all wrong, you're so strong.
But this life's work
and choice took far too long.

Where'd it go to?

Repeat chorus.

You know I love you.
You know I love you .
I want you oh so much.

It's so fair.

When I was sure you'd follow through,
My world was turned to blue.

When you'd hide
your songs would die,
so I'd hide yours with mine.

And all my words were bound to fall.
I know you won't fail...

see, I can tell...

 

[Nixy]

I think this can be my new anthem...I just saw it in my song list and I think I'll take to listening to it and it'll make me happy. Even though my "Unanswered prayers" aren't related to love it still applies

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldn’t help but think of the way things used to be.

She was the one that I’d wanted for all times
And each night I’d spend prayin’ that God would make her mine
And if he’d only grant me this wish I wished back then
I’d never ask for anything again.

(chorus)
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when you’re talkin’ to the man upstairs
That just because he doesn’t answer doesn’t mean he don’t care
Some of god’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

She wasn’t quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasn’t much we could recall
I guess the lord knows what he’s doin’ after all.

And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thankedd the good lord
For the gifts in my life.

*chorus*
Some of god’s greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of god’s greatest gifts are unanswered prayers

 

[Nixy]

OK, new anthem again!!

Sugarland - Settlin'

Fifteen minutes left to throw me together
For Mr. Right Now, not Mr. Forever
Don't know why I even try when I know how it ends
Lookin' like another, "Maybe we can be friends."
I've been leaving it up to fate
It's my life so it's mine to make

Chorus:
I ain't settlin'
For just getting by
I've had enough so-so
For the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low
So raise the bar high
"Just enough," ain't enough this time
I ain't settlin' for anything less than everything

With some good red wine
And my brand new shoes
Gonna dance a blue streak around my living room
Take a chance on love, and try how it feels
With my heart wide open
Yeah, you know I will
Find what it means to be the girl
Who changed her mind
And changed the world

Repeat chorus

I ain't settlin'
For just getting by
I've had enough so-so
For the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low
So raise the bar high
"Just enough," ain't enough this time

I ain't settlin'
For just getting by
I've had enough so-so
For the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low
So raise the bar high

I ain't settlin'
No, no, no, no, no, no
So raise the bar high, high

 

[Professur]

Aw, jeez, she's gittin' some again.

 

[PrincessLissa]

I am sure my anthem would be written by Laurie Berkner or another kid's song writer

 

[Nixy]

Aw, jeez, she's gittin' some again.

No I'm not actually. I did just go through the "maybe we can be friends" thing sorta though...it's more the "Mr right now, not Mr forever" that gets me...seems they're all "mr right now" and I'm tired of it.
