hey guys just a light hearted thread i think there are many great examples of genius hidden in plain view through music trying to convey a deeper truth to humanity some of the obvious artists would be lennon, marly but one song i thought had clever well crafted lyrics was 'your the voice' by john farnham when i was a kid i thought he was a toss but they other day i heard it on the radio and the lyrics are simple yet profound... just a snippet of the chorus is 'your the voice try and understand it make a noise make it clear ....where not gonna sit in silence were not gonna live in fear' i think thats pretty close to the lyrics well im no code breaker but from my perception the message hes trying to say is ( Im not a christian but first there was the "word' according to there bible) well wouldnt that mean we are GOD/CREATOR probably an obvious observation but one i never thought of till i just recently heard it again on the radio .....has anyone got any better examples of genius in lyrics

You may be a construction worker working on a home,
You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome,
You might own guns and you might even own tanks,
You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed
You're gonna have to serve somebody,
Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody. ;)

Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
Chorus:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger
Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive
chorus
Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
chorus
The eye of the tiger (repeats out)...

Moby.
We Are All Made Of Stars
Growing in numbers
Growing in speed
Can't fight the future
Can't fight what I see
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
Efforts of lovers
Left in my mind
I sing in the reaches
We'll see what we find
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
Slow slow slow, come come
Someone come come come
Even love is goin' 'round
You can't ignore what is goin' 'round
Slowly rebuilding
I feel it in me
Growing in numbers
Growing in peace
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
People they come together
People they fall apart
No one can stop us now
'Cause we are all made of stars
