50. “Loser” by Beck

Album: Mellow Gold (1993)

Genre: Alternative rock

“In the time of chimpanzees, I was a monkey
Butane in my veins and I’m out to cut the junkie
With the plastic eyeballs, spray-paint the vegetables
Dog food stalls with the beefcake pantyhose
Kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Stock car flamin’ with a loser and the cruise control
Baby’s in Reno with the vitamin D
Got a couple of couches, sleep on the love-seat
Someone came in sayin’, I’m insane to complain
About a shotgun wedding and a stain on my shirt
Don’t believe everything that you breathe
You get a parking violation and a maggot on your sleeve
So shave your face with some mace in the dark
Savin’ all your food stamps and burnin’ down the trailer park”

49. “The World I Know” by Collective Soul

Album: Collective Soul (1995)

“Are we listening
To hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see
That love is gathering?
All the words that I’ve been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one…into one…

So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
‘Cause it’s the world I know
Oh it’s the world I know”

my reputation is hanging around my neck

the world that calls us
it doesn’t owe us
could we just have some fun?
could we just make some love?”

Kill yourself slowly over time fashion statement suicide
She’s still asleep in a Chelsea hotel
Bad turns to worse and the worst turns into hell”

The language of destruction, the slaughter of the meek

Within us – the falmes of the end
Survival of the fittest, the hunt for the sacred game”
