Breakfast Can Wait Lyrics

Hey baby, where you going?

Breakfast Can Wait

The official artwork for this song is actually a picture of comedian Dave Chappelle impersonating Prince in a sketch on the 2000s Comedy Central series Chappelle's Show. Chappelle's Prince impersonation was one of his most popular - he portrayed The Purple One as being absurdly good at basketball.

The song's music video was directed by 18-year-old Danielle Curiel, who also stars in the clip as The Purple One himself. Prince granted the teenager complete artistic and directorial freedom after a single reading of the treatment that she submitted for the song.

Angel Of Death Lyrics

Auschwitz, the meaning of pain
The why that I want you to die
Slow death, immense decay
Showers that cleanse you of your life

Forced in
Like cattle
You run
Stripped of
Your life's worth
Human mice, for the Angel Of Death
Four hundred thousand more to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead

Sadistic, surgeon of demise
Sadist of the noblest blood

Destroying, without mercy
To benefit the Aryan race

Surgery, with no anesthesia
Fell the knife pierce you intensely
Inferior, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die
Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of Death

Pumped with fluid, inside your brain
Pressure in your skull begins pushing through your eyes
Burning flesh, drips away
Test of heat burns your skin, your mind starts to boil
Frigid cold, cracks your limbs
How long can you last
In this frozen water burial?
Sewn together, joining heads
Just a matter of time
'Til you rip yourselves apart
Millions laid out in their
Crowded tombs
Sickening ways to achieve
The holocaust
Seas of blood, bury life
Smell your death as it burns
Deep inside of you
Abacinate, eyes that bleed
Praying for the end of
Your wide awake nightmare
Wings of pain, reach out for you
His face of death staring down,
Your blood running cold
Injecting cells, dying eyes
Feeding on the screams of
The mutants he's creating
Pathetic harmless victims
Left to die
Rancid Angel of Death
Flying free

[ Angel of Death
Monarch to the kingdom of the dead
Infamous butcher,
Angel of Death

Angel Of Death

This song is about Josef Mengele (The Angel Of Death), a doctor at Aushwitz who performed gruesome experiments on prisoners during the Holocaust. Many people who don't fully understand metal or Slayer have branded them Neo-Nazis and Satanists, but the song was written by guitarist Jeff Hanneman because he has an interest in World War II. His father landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944.

"Angel of Death" has become one of Slayer's signature songs and a classic of the thrash metal genre. It is included in all of their live albums and band-produced DVDs. It also appears in the soundtrack to many films, including Gremlins 2, Jackass: The Movie, and the 2005 documentary Soundtrack to War.

This was one of Rick Rubin's early productions. Slayer were signed to Rubin's Def Jam label, which also had Beastie Boys (that's how Slayer guitarist Kerry King ended up doing the solo on "No Sleep Till Brooklyn"). Def Jam's output was distributed by Columbia, but they refused to issue this one, so Rubin turned to Geffen, which handled the distribution.

Rick Rubin took a different approach to producing this track in order to get a very clean sound. Since Slayer plays very fast, Rubin left the reverb off to keep it from turning to mush. He also boosted the drums, which kept the guitars at bay. He explained in Rolling Stone: "Dave Lombardo is this incredible, unbelievably great drummer. One thing that we did was make the drums louder. The nature of distorted electric guitars is that they sound loud regardless of how loud they are. Whereas drums, because it's a natural instrument, depending on how loud they are in the mix really changes that feeling of how hard they're being hit. If you're in a room with the drums and somebody's hitting them hard, they're much louder. So, psychologically, by making the drums louder, it made everything seem louder."

This song has also been covered by other metal bands, including Monstrosity, Apocalyptica, Asinesia, and the Slayer tribute band Dead Skin Mask. Slayer having headlined Ozzfest several times, "Angel of Death" is also found in compilation albums from the annual hard rock festival.

How did Slayer come to write a song about Josef Mengele, of all people? In the book Precious Metal: Decibel Presents the Stories Behind 25 Extreme Metal Masterpieces , the interview for Reign in Blood reveals that while the band was touring from their previous album, they did not yet have a tour bus, so they were just driving around in a car, with not much for amusement but paperback books they'd buy at rest stops. Jeff Hanneman ended up reading a book on the topic which sparked his interest.

In Precious Metal, Slayer co-lead guitarist Kerry King has this to say on the controversy over this song: "People get this thought in their heads - especially in Europe - and you'll never talk them out of it. They try to talk you into what they're thinking. When you ask them a question and you give them an answer they don't want, they'll be like 'Well, don't you mean...' And I'm like 'No, dude, I don't mean that.' It's just like, wake up."

A mini-essay about controversy: Why does Slayer go through life with such a target on its chest? Dozens of bands produce material that's far gorier. Almost every heavy metal band you can name pins a pentagram or 666 or other "Satanic" imagery to their album cover. Here is the Reign in Blood album cover , which is part of the reason Def Jam's distributor, Columbia Records, refused to release it - compare it to the work of Hieronymus Bosch . As for subject matter, there's a song out there which makes light of violence against women, murder, mutilation, necrophilia, and cannibalism. That song is "I Hold Your Hand in Mine ," by noted satirist Tom Lehrer. Now, where's the protests and picket groups and censorship and album-burning when it comes to Lehrer? Science needs to find out why bands like Slayer draw so much fire while others get a free pass. In the mean time, we're going to have to assume that Slayer is scary while Lehrer and Bosch are not, and so people are reacting based on raw emotions and not on any kind of logic at all.

Hold On Lyrics

I sold more dope than I sold records
You niggas sold records, never sold dope
So I ain’t hearing none of that street shit
Cause in my mind, you mothafuckas sold soap
Got rich selling hope to the hopeless
But I’m a thinker, methodic in my motives
I motivate to put my niggas into motors
No woman, no child, no witness, no Jehovahs
Like Scarface but it's God's face in that mirror
We was made in his image, dialing and it's much clearer
Scoring from the heights but I wanted mine purer
Aryan, blonde hair, blue-eyed like the Führer
The judge and the jury, the jewellery mad froze
Water colors on my neck, fuck rhyming when you blinding niggas
We ain't the same color clarity of diamond, nigga
Nah, I ain't got nothing in common with yous
Pain in my heart, it's as black as my skin
They tipping the scale for these crackers to win
No reading, no writing, made us savage of men
They praying for jail but I mastered the pen
Descendant from kings, we at it again
Just hand me the crown, I'm active again
Everything that it seems, hear my passion again
Was never my dream, the immaculate win

I was pissing my shorts having rich nigga thoughts
Wish I had a pistol before all the friends I done fought
Over night I seen a nigga go get a Carrera
Two weeks later I had to be that boy pallbearer
Young king bury me inside a glass casket
Windex wipe me down for the life after
Crack dealer living like a hoop star
Black marble, white walls in my new spot
Four chains, big studs, a nigga too fly
Top down, tank top, I think I'm 2Pac
So I'm labeled the rebel, nigga get on my level
We were born to be kings, only major league teams
Chasing my paper, couldn't fathom my wealth
Built a school in Ethiopia, should enroll in myself
God body and mind, food for the soul
When you feeding on hate, you empty, my nigga, it shows
Follow the codes, ain’t no love for these hoes
If you slip and you fall I got you my nigga, Hold On
If you right or you wrong, if you riding come on
By the end of this song, can't be hiding for long
I seen children get slaughtered, niggas' grandmothers assaulted
Throw a gang sign, dare you do something about it
Fuck copping them foams, when you copping the home
Cop a kilo and have them people on top of your home

Follow the codes, ain't no love for these hoes
If you slipping you fall, I got you, my nigga, hold on
If you right or you wrong, if you riding come on
By the end of this song, I got you, my nigga, hold on

Hold On

This song finds Pusha and Rick Ross spitting out downtrodden verses whilst an uncredited Kanye West supplies background vocals. "It's hard and emotional; it's what people wanna hear... as a rap purist," Pusha told The Boombox . "It almost has the same qualities to me that 'Sixteen' with [Ross] and Andre 3000 [had]. Not that the song sounds anything like that, but just the fact that you want to hear rap. Like you just hear two guys blacking out over verses."

The song starts off with Pusha drawing a clear line between his life as a rapper and his former one as a dope dealer:

"I sold more dope than I sold records, you n---as sold records never sold dope
So I ain't hearin' none of that street s--t, 'cause in my mind you motherf---ers sold soap."

Surprised at Pusha's claim that his income from record sales have yet to exceed his profits from drug dealing? My Name Is My Name is only Pusha's fourth album, his other three being released with his brother Malice under the Clipse moniker. The sibling's 2002 debut Lord Willin' was a RIAA-certified gold record, but their two subsequent releases (Hell Hath No Fury and Til the Casket Drops) didn't fare so well. "I don't think I sold that many records," the rapper told MTV News. "My run in the music game hasn't been the average rise to success. You're right, I have sold a million records. My favorite album, I've sold no records on Hell Hath No Fury. I only got three albums, I've been in the game since 2002, it's 2013 I only got three albums with the Clipse."

The music video finds Pusha returning to the streets with Ross where they deliver their testimonial verses to a classroom full of at-risk young adults. The scene morphs into a memorial service setting, with shots of black men wearing T-shirts depicting victims of random gun violence. "The concept of 'Hold On' is me and Ross performing in front of some neighborhood guys, lecturing and basically telling the people of the neighborhood — our peers, essentially — that we' re here for them and we' re doing this for them," Push T told MTV News.

He added: "Ross is a perfect fit for any song with me, personally, because I feel like he's one of the people I could count on to give a clean, concise, immaculate verse."

I Don't Know How To Love Him Lyrics

I Don't Know How To Love Him.
What to do, how to move him.
I've been changed, yes really changed.
In these past few days, when I've seen myself,

I seem like someone else.
I don't know how to take this.
I don't see why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.

And I've had so many men before,
In very many ways,
He's just one more.
Should I bring him down?

Should I scream and shout?
Should I speak of love,
Let my feelings out?
I never thought I'd come to this.

What's it all about?
Don't you think it's rather funny,
I should be in this position.
I'm the one who's always been

So calm, so cool, no lover's fool,
Running every show.
He scares me so.
I never thought I'd come to this.

What's it all about?
Yet, if he said he loved me,
I'd be lost. I'd be frightened.
I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope.

I'd turn my head. I'd back away.
I wouldn't want to know.
He scares me so.
I want him so.

I love him so.

I Don't Know How To Love Him

Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote this for the Rock Opera Jesus Christ Superstar,. Rice and Webber discovered Yvonne Elliman, originally from Hawaii, at the "Pheasantry" folk club on Kings Road in Chelsea in 1969. They offered her the role of Mary Magdalene in the Rock Opera.

Elliman played the Magdalene role in the 1973 film version of Jesus Christ Superstar and won a Golden Globe award for her performance.

Elliman appeared in the Broadway version, where she met Bill Oakes, president of RSO Records and married him. Oakes introduced her to Eric Clapton, who asked her to sing backup vocals on "I Shot the Sheriff." She became part of Clapton's band and stayed with him for five years.

Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb of The Bee Gees wrote a couple of songs for Elliman: "Love Me," and "If I Can't Have You." She performed "If I Can't Have You" for the movie soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever, her greatest commercial success. It was Elliman's only #1 hit.

Go Gentle Lyrics

You're gonna meet some strangers.
Welcome to the zoo.
Bitter disappointments.
Except for one or two.
Some of them are angry.
Some of them are mean.
Most of them are twisted.
Few of them are clean.

Now when you go dancing with young men down at the disco.
Just keep it simple.
You don't have to kiss though.
Don't waste time whit the idiots
Think that they're heroes.
They will betray you.
Stick with us weirdos.

For all your days and nights
I'm gonna be there,
I'm gonna be there, yes I will.
Go Gentle through your life.
If you want me I'll be there.
When you need me I'll be there for you.

Don't try to make them love you.
Don't answer every call.
Baby be a giant.
Let the world be small.
Some of them are deadly.
Some don't let it show.
If they try and hurt you.
Just let your daddy know.

Now when you go
Giving your heart make sure they deserve it.
If they haven't earned it.
Keep searching, it's worth it.

For all your days and nights (days and night)
I'm gonna be there (I'm gonna be there)
I'm gonna be there, yes I will.
Go gentle through your life (through your life)
If you want me I'll be there (If you want me I'll be there)
When you need me I'll be there for you.

Go gentle to the light (to the light)
I'm gonna be there (I'm gonna be there)
I'm gonna be there, yes I will.
If all your days are nights (days are nights)
When you want me I'll be there (If you want me I'll be there)
Say my name and I'll be there for you

Go Gentle

Robbie penned this song shortly after becoming a father to daughter Teddy in September 2012. He told Magic FM: "'Go Gentle' is a promise I'm making to my daughter. It was written when she first arrived on the planet and I'd been a selfish popstar for most of my life and then all of a sudden I've been asked to take care of this whole person."

"I still am scared that I'm not up to the task," Robbie continued, "I'm doing a good job of being dad but it's scary, you have to look after this person for the whole of their life, I'm not very good at even looking after me!"

Williams penned this with his original songwriting partner, Guy Chambers. "It still gives me goosebumps when I hear it,' Chambers told The Daily Telegraph. "You don't often hear men talking like that in songs. Rob's very good at writing new types of songs about love that aren't conventional 'I Love You' songs. Go Gentle is very touching. The first time he sang it [for a Radio 4 special], he just cried; he was in pieces at the end."

This was the first time Williams and Chambers had worked together on a full album since Williams and Chambers fell out while recording Escapology in Los Angeles in 2002 It is one of three songs on Swing Both Ways that were written by Williams and Chambers during a week in Los Angeles in January 2013 (the others being "Shine My Shoes" and "No One Likes a Fat Pop Star.") Williams recalled to The Sun: "We got to the studio at my house in Los Angeles and I'm sat on the sofa and Guy's on the piano. For 20 minutes in my head it was like 'Oh f---, this isn't going to work.' Then boom – we had 'Go Gentle' and then we went one after the other, very quickly. It was like old times."

Cowboys From Hell Lyrics

Under the lights where we stand tall
Nobody touches us at all
Showdown, shootout, spread fear within, without
We're gonna take what's ours to have
Spread the word throughout the land
They say the bad guys wear black
We're tagged and can't turn back

You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're takin' over this town

Here we come, reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you, we're the Cowboys From Hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell

Pillage the village, trash the scene
But better not take it out on me
Cause a ghost town is found
Where your city used to be
So out of the darkness and into the light
Sparks fly everywhere in sight
From my double barrel, twelve gauge,
Can't lock me in your cage

You see us comin'
And you all together run for cover
We're takin' over this town

Here we come, reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell

Here we come, reach for your gun
And you better listen well my friend, you see
It's been slow down below,
Aimed at you, we're the cowboys from hell
Deed is done again, we've won
Ain't talking no tall tales friend
Cause high noon, your doom
Comin' for you we're the cowboys from hell
Step aside, we're the cowboys from hell

Cowboys From Hell

This is about Pantera coming out of Texas and emerging on the heavy metal scene. Few people would associate Texas with a band like this.

Pantera splits songwriting credits equally, since all members contribute to the writing process. In our interview with their bass player Rex Brown , he said that guitarist Dimebag Darrell did the heavy lifting on this one. "That was Dime all the way," he said. "Except I play guitar on some of that - the rhythm section that became the mid-bridge break, and also the solo part, I wrote all that. Other than that, that was all Dime."

Sugarcane Lyrics

So so sleeping on the ground tonight
I couldn't breathe so I had two of these
Sugarcane bounce the same when it touches the heat, when it touches the heat

Hurricane always came when the season?s complete
I was late, why?d you step back? You were already there
You could take from the lead but you don't even care

I've attempted but become so desperate to win
We only talk about your damn charades
I've attempted but become so desperate to win
We only talk about your damn charades

The grass may be greener but you can't even smell
How did the king included you?
The grass may be greener but you can't even smell
How did the king included you?

[Chorus]
Beware, beware
Beware, beware
Beware, beware
Beware?

Knock, knock, getting on your knees tonight
Kicking the boys, you want me back
But the dead was alive when I go to the beach
How could I leave? How could I leave?

Hurricane always came when the season?s complete
Yellow hair over there, now I?ve got to compete
With a bang on the hand and there's something in the air

I've attempted but become so desperate to win
We only talk about your damn charades
I've attempted but become so desperate to win
We only talk about your damn charades

The grass may be greener but you can't even smell
How did the king included you?
The grass may be greener but you can't even smell
How did the king included you?

[Chorus: x2]
Beware, beware

Sugarcane

Guitarist Derek Miller told NME this is a personal song. He explained: "The first lyric is, 'So so sleeping on the ground tonight. I couldn't breath so I had to move east,' I was born in Pahokee, Florida which is in south Florida in the middle of the state. And I was raised in Belglade where my dad was a sugarcane farmer. You have to burn the fields as part of the harvest, to shuck the cane. And it literally rains ashes from the sky. It sounds like a very nice, apocalyptic image. It's not poetic, it's insane. It's crazy, it's surreal. And I remember that at the age of four, and I had terrible asthma so I couldn't breath. That's why we ended up moving east to Jupiter, to the Ocean. The doctor said, 'this kid needs clean air' and I've since grown out of it. It's a really personal song."

Give It Away Lyrics

I never return to love somebody
Now all that I need is all I see in you
And only you
And if you get lost I'll always find you
You're all that I need your heart will keep you true
My only you

You make me fall and I can't sleep
You want it all but it's too deep
And I can't Give It Away
I just can't give it away

When you slowly close your eyes
Replay the moment in your mind
Just give it away
Just give it away

When you slowly close your eyes
Replay the moment in your mind
Just give it away
Just give it away

Don't ever forget to tell somebody
The feelings inside
To make your dreams come true
I dream of you

To feel so alive and want somebody
It's not make believe
My world would be for you
And only you

You make me fall and I can't sleep
You want it all but it's too deep
And I can't give it away
I just can't give it away

When you slowly close your eyes
Replay the moment in your mind
Breathe in and give it away
Breathe out and give it away

When you slowly close your eyes
Replay the moment in your mind
Breathe in and give it away
Breathe out and give it away

Sing Like a Wire

Guitarist Derek Miller originally came up with this song in 2005, and it was one of the first things Alexis Krauss sang when they formed Sleigh Bells in 2008. Miller told NME: "I didn't know what to do with it from a production standpoint. I tried it on Treats but it was too macho and meaty and big-sounding. IT was too muscular. So I had to thin it out. That was sort of the opposite approach, to sort of thin it out which is why the verses are really tiny sounding."

The song starts off with a nod to Michael Jackson's legendary producer, Quincy Jones. "Quincy Jones, his autobiography definitely changed my life," Miller told NME. "If you listen to those horn stabs in the intro, it's the beginning of 'Bad.' It was sort of done as a joke? But besides that I just think it sounds bad ass. The tempo as well it's like, 108 bpm."

I Know You Well Lyrics

This morning under awaking glow
The sun filled our room like December snow
Like morning through an old window
There's a place in your head I will always know

To the same world born two of a kind
If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine ?cause
I Know You Well
Like the soil in the ground

Grass grown in the shadow of a blow
And if the blow will never toll
You and me grow old
I hope we'll live to tell

How you know I know you knew I know you well
Down under, beneath the softened skin
Where the words we whisper sink in
It's no wonder the way the words still ring

Sure as sin, it's not a secret thing
To the same world born two of a kind
If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine ?cause
I know you well

Like the soil in the ground
Grass grown in the shadow of a blow
And if the blow will never toll
You and me grow old

I hope we'll live to tell
How you know I know you knew I know new york 1991
Here in the same room for so long
Out of the cold November

Still as a passport picture
Still as a passport picture
To the same world born two of a kind
If it's on your mind, it'll be on mine ?cause

I know you well
Like the soil in the ground
Grass grown in the shadow of a blow
And if the blow will never toll

You and me grow old
I hope we'll live to tell
How you know I know you knew I know you well

I Know You Well

Chris Collingwood: "I originally wrote this song for my brother's wedding, but the words got fictionalized at some point. For me, part of writing something successful has always been blending the personal with the made-up. It's dangerous territory, as some people recognize chunks of actual history and think we're being literal."

Tiger Kit Lyrics

I was cursing your name, I've been dealt in your dream
I was thinking in symmetry
Tiger found you there 'cause I kept you there
Seeing double, believe me
Take you down low if you put on that ring
And the centers are racists but they do you no favors
Look up in the scene, you're a delicate thing

[Chorus]
You're gonna jump from there to Detroit
In front of all of these people
Oh, how sorry life is
Like a Hollywood sequel
You think you'll land on your feet
But you'll die in the streets
Look away, look away,
Oh, just go back to sleep

We were in the kitchen and the neighbors couldn't see
Thanks for the memories and all the memories
When it's dead in the water, let's throw the dice
Thanks for the memories and all the memories
Never trust a tiger can't be tamed
Feeling under the weather, can you keep it together'
So your sister's Beretta 'cause you're light as a feather

[Chorus]
You're gonna jump from there to Detroit
In front of all of these people
Oh, how sorry life is
Like a Hollywood sequel
You think you'll land on your feet
But you'll die in the streets
Look away, look away,
Oh, just go back to sleep

Know that just the tiger can't be tamed
Know that just the tiger can't be tamed
Know that just the tiger can't be tamed
So make like a banana and split

Tiger Kit

Multi-instrumentalist Derek Miller admitted to NME that he never really got the guitar sound that he was looking for on this song. "It will always drive me crazy," he said. "I will always hear that song and know what it could sound like, which is a problem. It has the closest thing we have to a solo on a Sleigh Bells record, I guess. It kind of rips off Jimmy Page."

However, Miller does love vocalist Alexis Krauss' Rhythm Nation reference on the second verse when she sings, "Never trust a tiger that can't be tamed." He told NME: "I think we were both really into Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. We're both huge Janet Jackson fans. I think you killed it, you have a lot of attitude."

California Sex Lawyer Lyrics

I'm going coast to coast
I'm going nationwide
I got my hand on the trigger
Got my girl by my side
I got the looks that kill
I got a license to love
I got a German shepherd
And his name is Doug

I'm heading for the sun
I'm gonna become

A California Sex Lawyer
Oh yeah
A California sex lawyer
Oh yeah
A California sex lawyer
Oh yeah
Well, it's not fair, but baby, I don't care

I got big ideas
I got backup plans
I got the cha-cha-charisma
Got the sleight of hand
I'm gonna do some damage
Gonna bust some heads
I'm gonna go the distance
Then I'm going to bed

I'm heading for the sun
I'm gonna become

A California sex lawyer
Oh yeah
A California sex lawyer
Oh yeah
A California sex lawyer
Oh yeah
Well, it's not fair, but baby, I don't care

Ah
Ah
Ah

I'm heading for the sun
I'm gonna become

A California sex lawyer
Oh yeah
A California sex lawyer
Oh yeah
A California sex lawyer
Oh yeah
Well, it's not fair
It's not fair
It's not fair, but baby, I don't care

California Sex Lawyer

Adam Schlesinger said of this track: "Our attorney Josh Grier works at a big fancy law firm with a big fancy waiting room. One day we were sitting there waiting and there was a magazine called California Lawyer on the coffee table facing us. Chris (Collingwood) said, apropos of nothing, "California sex lawyer." Perhaps it was only because we were sitting in a quiet office, but at the time it seemed like the funniest thing in the world. Why it needed to be turned into a song, I'm still not sure."
