1% Lyrics

Water broken voice, saturates a microphone
Into a receiver with no tongue
Offering, little to what it knows

Then a silence so heavy, broken hearts fall from throats
When heaven is remembered but never seen
Through hearts shaped like kaleidoscopes

Eternally, the sun has set to mourning
And contoured are the backgrounds
On the canvas to which our lives are painted

Vocalist Matthew Davies-Kreye explained the song's meaning: "The idea for the track came from watching the news reports around and after the financial crisis hit; the anger at the banks and financial institutions that lined their own pockets off the backs of the hard working average individual," he said. "Theft at the highest level, no sense of remorse, even in the wake of exposure. Hand outs, bonuses, pay increases. It's like someone rubbing egg in the face of the honest, hard working people who struggle, sometimes with two jobs, raising a family and only just being able to make ends meet."

Wake Up Dead Man Lyrics

Jesus
Jesus help me
I'm alone in this world
And a fucked up world it is too
Tell me
Tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it's all gonna be
Wake up
Wake Up Dead Man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Jesus
I'm waiting here boss
I know you're looking out for us
But maybe your hands aren't free
Your Father
He made the world in seven
He's in charge of heaven
Will you put a word in for me

Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Listen to your words
They'll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over the sounds of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time

Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Jesus
Were you just around the corner?
Did you think to try and warn her?
Or are you working on something new?
If there's and order
In all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder?
Can we rewind it just once more

Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Wake up
Wake up dead man

Pay For It Lyrics

Pay For It Song Chart

This promotional single features Jay Rock's Black Hippy cohort Kendrick Lamar whilst Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk croons the hook. This wasn't the first time that Kreviazuk, who is married to Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida, has collaborated with a rapper. In 2011 she sung the chorus on Drake's Take Care track, "Over My Dead Body."

The song originally landed in Kreviazuk's creative "dumpster," until Jay Rock and his people saved it from the trash heap. Kreviazuk told The Hollywood Reporter: "I don't write [Jay Rock's] thoughts, I write my own. I wrote the hook, I wrote the melody. I wrote the music and then I track it and then they chop it up and then keep going with it. I kind of thought this one was in the dumpster. … I put a lot of things in the dumpster and that one I just let go of completely."

"Then, one day I heard that they were going to have Kendrick and Jay Rock put a verse on it," she added, "and then I heard they were going to keep me as a feature, which was incredibly humbling and special and really super gracious, and then the next day it was in a Beats commercial."

Jay Rock performed the song on the November 15, 2014 episode of Saturday Night Live with Kendrick Lamar and Chantal Kreviazuk.

The Playboy Mansion Lyrics

If coke
Is a mystery
Michael Jackson
History
If beauty is truth
And surgery the fountain of youth
What am I to do
Have I got the gifts to get me through
The gates of that mansion
If OJ is more than a drink
And a Big Mac bigger than you think
And perfume is an obsession
And talk shows confession
What have we got to lose
Another push and maybe we'll be through
The gates of that mansion

I never bought a lotto ticket
I never parked in anyone's space
The banks they're like cathedrals
I guess casinos took their place
Love, come on down
Don't wake her she'll come around

Chance is a kind of religion
Where you're damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie
I never did read that book
Love, come on down
Let my numbers come around

Don't know if I can hold on
Don't know if I'm that strong
Don't know if I can wait that long
'Till the colors come flashing
And the lights go on

Then will there be no time of sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
And though I can't say why
I know I've got to believe

We'll go driving in that pool
It's who you know that gets you through
The gates of The Playboy Mansion
Playboy mansion
The Playboy mansion

Then will there be no time of sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
Then will there be no time of sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame

Hate Your Guts Song Chart

This song finds the McBusted boys teaming up with Mark Hoppus. The Blink 182 bassist and vocalist also helped the band pen the track "Sensitive Guy." McFly's Tom Fletcher said: "He'd been such a huge influence on our song writing that to finally get in a room with him was so fun, if slightly surreal."

Guitarist Tom Fletcher and bassist Dougie Poynter originally penned this for McFly but it didn't fit in with the band's other material. "It was really dark and not as tongue-in-cheek as it is now," Fletcher explained to Digital Spy . "It was always one of those songs that would come up and me and Doug were like, 'Remember that song with this idea?' But then we'd never finish it."

"When we went into the studio with Mark Hoppus, we wondered if he'd like it," he continued. "We played it to him - that, the idea for 'Sensitive Guy,' and another two ideas - and he really liked it."

Pointer added: "He thought it would be funnier if it was wishing really s--t things upon somebody. Like their phone running out of battery. Or a small paper cut."

Gone Lyrics

You gotta feel so guilty
Got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling just won't go away
You're holding on to every little thing so tightly
Till there's nothing left for you anyway
Goodbye
You can keep this suit of lights
I'll be up with the sun
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down, ooh
I'm not coming down

You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change a name but that's okay
It's necessary
And what you leave behind
You don't miss anyway

Goodbye
You can keep this suit of lights
I'll be up with the sun
I'm not coming down
I'm not coming down, ooh
I'm not coming down

'Cause I'm already Gone
Felt that way all along
Closer to you every day
I didn't want it that much anyway

You're taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you get to like the way it feels
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed

Goodbye
It's emotional
Goodnight
I'll be up with the sun
Are you still holding on
I'm not coming down, ooh
I'm not coming down, ooh
I'm not coming down

Gone Song Chart

They were working on this when they found out their friend Bill Graham had died. They dedicated the album Pop to him.

On their 2001 Elevation tour, Bono would jokingly say at the end of the song, "that was a song about self-mutilation, torture, and mortality, all kinds of confused things that happen to people in rock bands."

In a VH1 special for the Greatest Hits 1990-2000 album, there is a clip of Bono saying "that song is a reason to go and play live." (thanks, Bill - Johnstown, PA, for above 2)

Lookin' in the places where no flowers grow
Lookin' for to fill that God shaped hole

Holy dunc spacejunk comin' in for the splash
White dopes on punk staring into the flash
Lookin' for baby Jesus under the trash

Mother (mother, mother, mother, mother))

Mother am I still your son
You know I've waited for so long to hear you say so
Mother you left and made me someone
Now I'm still a child
But no one tells me no

Lookin' for a sound that's gonna drown out the world
Lookin' for the father of my two little girls
Got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade
Still looking for the face I had before the world was made

Mother
Mother sucking rock and roll
Bubble poppin' sugar droppin' rock and roll
Mother

Contains references to Bono's mother, who died when he was 14.

A new sound for U2, as they were experimenting with Techno.

The Wanderer Lyrics

I went out walking
Through streets paved with gold
Lifted some stones
Saw the skin and bones
Of a city without a soul
I went out walking
Under an atomic sky
Where the ground won't turn
And the rain it burns
Like the tears when I said goodbye

Yeah I went with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering

I went drifting
Through the capitals of tin
Where men can't walk
Or freely talk
And sons turn their fathers in
I stopped outside a church house
Where the citizens like to sit
They say they want the kingdom
But they don't want God in it

I went out riding
Down that old eight lane
I passed by a thousand signs
Looking for my own name

I went with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you

I went out there
In search of experience
To taste and to touch
And to feel as much
As a man can
Before he repents

I went out searching
Looking for one good man
A spirit who would not bend or break
Who would sit at his father's right hand
I went out walking
With a bible and a gun
The word of God lay heavy on my heart
I was sure I was the one
Now Jesus, don't you wait up
Jesus, I'll be home soon
Yeah I went out for the papers
Told her I'd be back by noon

Yeah I left with nothing
But the thought you'd be there too
Looking for you

Yeah I left with nothing
Nothing but the thought of you
I went wandering

Oh hoo

The Wanderer Song Chart

A rare U2 song with no Bono (at least on vocals, he wrote the lyrics), Johnny Cash sang lead on this one. U2 started writing it for Cash when they found out he was coming to Dublin for a show. They decided to keep it for themselves with Cash as guest performer. A song that describes a man's travels and search for redemption, Bono said it was "one of the best things we've ever done, and I'm not even on it."

The working title was "Johnny Cash On The Moon."

U2 recorded this as if they were a bad lounge act. It was the last song on Zooropa, since they wanted to end the album with something that would not be taken too seriously. About a minute after this ends on the CD version of Zooropa, an alarm goes off.

The only time U2 played this live was at the 2005 tribute concert for Johnny Cash - Bono did the vocals. The concert was called I Walk the Line: A Night for Johnny Cash.

Rehumanize Yourself Lyrics

He goes out at night with his big boots on
None of his friends know right from wrong
They kick a boy to death 'cause he don't belong
You've got to humanize yourself

A policeman put on his uniform
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanize yourself

Re-humanize yourself
Re-humanize yourself
Re-humanize yourself
Re-humanize yourself

I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanize yourself

Billy's joined the National Front
He always was a little runt
He's got his hand in the air with the other cunts
You've got to humanize yourself

Re-humanize yourself
Re-humanize yourself
Re-humanize yourself
Re-humanize yourself

I work all day at the factory
I'm building a machine that's not for me
There must be a reason that I can't see
You've got to humanize yourself

A policeman put on his uniform
He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm
Because violence here is a social norm
You've got to humanize yourself

Rehumanize Yourself Song Chart

Written by Sting and Stewart Copeland, this is the seventh track on the Ghost in the Machine album.

The line "They kick a boy to death 'cause he don't belong," from the first verse was inspired by a real-life tragedy that unfolded near Sting's home when a gang of skinheads kicked a young man to death. Sting remembered in Lyrics By Sting: "It was around the time my first son was born. When you become a father for the first time, peace and nonviolence becomes even more of an imperative."

This was featured in the 1984 comedy Bachelor Party, starring Tom Hanks.

I have a lover
A lover like no other
She got soul, soul, soul, sweet soul
And she teach me how to sing

Shows me colors when there's none to see
Gives me hope when I can't believe
That for The First Time
I feel loved

I have a brother
When I'm a brother in need
I spend my whole time running
He spends his running after me

When I feel myself going down
I just call and he comes around
But for the first time
I feel love

Hoo ho ho ho ho ho
Hoo

My father is a rich man
He wears a rich man's cloak
Gave me the keys to his kingdom coming
Gave me a cup of gold

He said I have many mansions
And there are many rooms to see
But I left by the back door
And I threw away the key
And I threw away the key
Yeah, I threw away the key
Yeah, I threw away the key

Hoo hoo

For the first time
For the first time
For the first time

I feel love

This was written for Al Green, but U2 decided to keep it for themselves. Bono described the song as "About losing your faith."

Ever wonder about those random words on the Zooropa album cover? They're titles of songs that didn't make the cut.
