Contrary Songs

[Damaged Eagle]

This thread is dedicated to songs that people know and may not realize what the song is actually about but they really like that song.

For instance the following song is not about an American woman it's anti-government/military...

Right now the only song that comes to me is this one.



God bless you and Trace always!!!

Holly (a day one fan of him)

P.S. Let me know if it doesn't count, but I think that it fits the criteria of what is being asked here good enough.

Anti-Materialism.

Distance for consumerism. Worship of that false god.

. . . Not sure a lot of folks are familiar with it though.

 

[Lumpy 1]

Wow that's tough..

 

[MisterBeale]

Born in the USA.

A protest about the nation's treatment of Vets, lack of options for the lower classes, and the little regard the nation has for them.

 

[playtime]

the song is about a hitman doing his job.

JUST in case there's still a human around who doesn't know this is about a tranny.

This song sums up how I feel about the current pandemic.................

Sugar coated Communist Manifesto

*****SMILE*****





...Yet he didn't give it all away to help the poor.

"...It's for the most part a made-up story, which most of my songs are. These are stories that I come up with, and I do characters. Part of the story was true in the fact that I had gone out with a girl and my buddy had gone out with her after I went out with her, and then I went out with her again and then she ended up getting pregnant and having an abortion. But from there, there's poetic license that happens and makes the story more dramatic. A neophyte writer that I was, I ended up having her commit suicide, and that never happened."[3]
The Freshmen (song) - Wikipedia

This band played gigs on my college campus when I was a sophomore. Most folks around the nation, I gather, just thought it was about being a freshmen. We knew there was more to it.

Well, I'm just being contrary.. it's my nature

 

[MisterBeale]

More allegorical than contrarian. But the younger generations need to know.

Peter Gabriel's Solsbury Hill is a pretty good song about living your life a bit off the beaten path and going your own way.

 

[Damaged Eagle]

More about Joe Strummer's fear of drowning than about London

*****SMILE*****

 

[konradv]

Not so much about the devil, but the fact that we can find the devil coming out in ourselves, if we're not careful.



The Rolling Stones- Sympathy for the Devil

Up in the morning and out to school
Mother says there be no work next year
Qualifications once the Golden Rule
Are now just pieces of paper

Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards

Well if you look the part well then you'll get the job
In last year's trousers and your oldschool shoes
The truth is son it's a buyer's market
They can afford to pick and choose

Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because I dress like this doesn't mean I'm a Communist

Well the factories are closing and the army's full
I don't know what I'm going to do
But I've come to see in the land of the free
There's only room for a chosen few

Just because you're better than me doesn't mean I'm lazy
Just because you're going forwards doesn't mean I'm going backwards

Well at 21 you're a top of the scrap heap
At 16 you were top of your class
Well I dropped outta high school in Campbell, California
Got a guitar and I never looked back
