Something tells me that this game would be more successful if I had more readers who listened to the same kind of music I do, but if nothing else, it's an opportunity for me to listen to some stuff that I may have forgotten about and give publicity to my favorite bands, so...let's get to it.
Same rules as always, and last week's answers are in the extended entry. Also, no band clues this week, because there are a lot of repeats and I'm running out of ideas. #1 and #2 are the only songs by bands I haven't written hints for, so I guess that might narrow it down.
Anyway, here are this week's lyrics. Quite a few of these songs are really fun to listen to, but that probably doesn't matter to anyone but me:
1.
The more you see, the more you do
The television's feeding you
With what you want to hear
Anger and fear, because you suffer
2.
The country's gone to hell
But believe me, I didn't do it
You left me all alone
And now they call me stupid
3.
I can't take this anymore, and I'm almost pretty sure
I've been here before
I can't take this any longer, I won't heal until I'm stronger
Strong enough to not be afraid
4.
Coming down, I'm coming round
This time I think I'm waking up
Give me loud to drown it out
Before the world starts breaking up
5.
Time, thousands of years pass by
But with the ancient rites intact
Man, mankind has multiplied
Spreading worldwide as planned
6.
Inside my shadow, I can hear you
Am I near you?
Inside my shadow, I can smell you
Can I tell you?
7.
I can't remember anything
Can't tell if this is true or dream
Deep down inside I feel the scream
This terrible silence stops me
8.
Tunnel vision at blinding speed
Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
Void of any uncertainty
Throughout my very soul
9.
I gave my love everything
I tied an old glass heart to a ring
But she put it on a shelf
And I found it didn't help anything
10.
Uncle Sam taught him to shoot, maybe a little too well
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
He hit the stage so full of rage and let the whole world know it
Six feet away, they heard him say “Oh God, don’t let him pull it”
