I dreamed i thanked scott ian for persistence of time
back when steve and eva died that album changed my life
it was a package of pure darkness tied up with a silver string
delivered by a fast train rearranging how i think
he said "i can't believe you even know that i exist,
i've got all of your albums and i think you are the best"
he started to cry and i started to laugh
i gave him a hug and he gave me his autograph
reeling in my disbelief, i know that it was just a dream
all the covers that i see are different from the books i read
everything is crumbling around me
why does everything cost so much money?
could somebody please help out my family?
my mom needs hearing aids, new shoulders, and new legs
my dad needs a break he works all day every day
my brother needs a place and a job where he can make
enough money to take care of his baby
here's a simple dissertation on a complex situation
money and intimidation and mass graves make strong foundations
for the giant corporations that own all the TV. stationstelling us to take vacations to their big theme park plantations
rather than to hearts of nations
where we might meet people on the street who say
"i don't want my mtv 'cause it brought viva to its knees"
and mom and pop are begging "please, globalization's killing me"
while we think that they think they need all of the things we think we need
like martha stewart shams and sheets and sugar free powdered iced tea
vanilla coke, lemon pepsi, friends episodes on dvd
i went to see the doctor of psychiatry
weapons of mass instruction finally broke me
he said "act your age, don't be afraid, take two of these.
now listen real hard, put down that guitar,
don't be a retard, be all that you can be"
the things he said i could be were laid out right in front of me
would i choose deep fried apathy, mcnuggets where my balls should be,
or super sized conformity? i walked away and i'm still me
free to go fucking crazy, free to know why i'm angry
one and one and one is three and you and me is all i need
singing songs, drawing cocks, picking locks to locked doors
find deflated hearts, and pump them up

Kimya Dawson è una cantautrice e musicista americana, nota per il suo stile indie folk caratterizzato da melodie semplici ma efficaci e testi introspettivi e poetici. Iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '90 suonando con la band The Moldy Peaches, insieme ad Adam Green. Il duo ottenne un notevole successo underground grazie a brani come "Teenage Pregnancy" e "Anyone Else But You", che divennero virali grazie alla loro presenza nel film "Juno". Dopo lo scioglimento dei Moldy Peaches, Dawson ha continuato la sua carriera da solista, pubblicando diversi album di grande apprezzamento dalla critica. Tra i suoi lavori più noti si annoverano "The Rocket" (2004) e "You're Gonna Be Fine" (2013). La sua musica è spesso accompagnata da un'atmosfera intima e malinconica, che riflette le sue esperienze personali e le sue riflessioni sulla vita. Oltre alla musica, Dawson ha anche lavorato come attrice e scrittrice.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
