This song is rocking my world more than anything else right now. It is Fight Test by The Flaming Lips.
***
I thought I was smart, I thought I was right
I thought it better not to fight
I thought there was a virtue in always being cool
So it came time to fight, I thought I’ll just step aside
And that the time would prove you wrong
And that you would be the fool
I don’t know where the sunbeams end and that the starlights begin
It’s all a mystery
Oh, to fight is to defend
If it’s not now then tell me when would be the time
That you would stand up and be a man
For to lose I could accept
But to surrender I just wept
And regretted this moment, oh that I, I was the fool
I don’t know where the sunbeams end and that the starlights begin
It’s all a mystery
And I don’t know how a man decides what’s right for his own life
It’s all a mystery
‘Cause I’m a man, not a boy
And there are things you can’t avoid
You have to face them when you’re not prepared to face them
If I could, I would, but you’re with him
I’d do no good
I should have fought him but instead I let him, I let him take you
I don’t know where the sunbeams end and that the starlights begin
It’s all a mystery
And I don’t know how a man decides what’s right for his own life
It’s all a mystery

If you don’t know this song, go get it. I don’t care how. Go buy the album, download the song, hell send me an email or an im and I shall send it on to you. It’s just so very right. Listen to it and listen to the lyrics and then listen to it again. I want to put this on at the highest volume possible and just bask in the glory. This is what music is all about. Fuck, I so want to see this live with massive amounts of energy thrown behind it.
