A GOOD SONG FOR ME!!

Tire Me

Rage Against The Machine

(Even if you are rich, famous, powerful you still aren’t immortal)

Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
I can see you in front of me, front of me
Ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
Why don't you get from in front of me?
Oh she's got everyone's eyes
Yeah!
In every home there's a sickening distress
Yeah!
Of roll that film she's a precious, a precious one
But we're all gonna......nah we're already dead!
We're already dead!

And those colorful words for tha Laos frontiers-man
Who passed away with the truth
Amidst the eulogies of bliss
Who will know now what I know about you?
Now that history's a flowery cancerous mess
Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me
A mess!
Overbearing yes ya tryin' ta tire me
A mess!
Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
So get the fuck from in front of me
Nah let's see it broken, bloody and undressed!
We're already dead!

In a violent time

I wanna be Jackie Onassis
I wanna wear a pair of dark sunglasses
I wanna be Jackie O
Oh oh oh oh please don't die!
Yeah ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
I can see you in front of me, front of me
Ya tryin' ta tire me, tire me
Why don't you get from in front of me?
Ruh!
We're already dead!
We're already dead!
We're already dead!



I don’t even remember the first time I listened to this song, since I’ve been listening to this band since I was in seventh grade. But, what I can say about it is that has been stuck in my head since kind of three weeks ago. Well this Monday is RATM’s concert, so I’ve been listening to their songs a lot, specially this one. I think it must be for the energy it releases. It’s a powerful song, and every time I listen to it I imagine myself on Monday jumping, singing it (or screaming it), and of course enjoying it. Well like I said before, this song is by Rage Against the Machine, from the disc Evil Empire (1996), and actually, this song never had a video, never had a radio airplay, or any media format ,and anyway it won a Grammy on 1997 for best Metal Performance. Every time I listen to this song something starts to twist inside my stomach, maybe it is because I really like the song, or maybe just because I’m waiting to live it (the song) on Monday. By the way, the song’s meaning is a bit complicated, is about Jackie Kennedy (after that Onassis, she married one of the most powerful and rich man of the world, a Greek one) and the death of her first husband, John Kennedy.
