[Verse 1: Jessie J]
Seems like everybody's got a price,
I wonder how they sleep at night.
When the tale comes first,
And the truth comes second,
Just stop, for a minute and
Smile
Why is everybody so serious!
Acting so damn mysterious
You got your shades on your eyes
And your heels so high
That you can't even have a good time.
[Pre-Chorus:]
Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
Well pay them with love tonight...
[Chorus:]
It's not about the money, money, money
We don't need your money, money, money
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag
Ain't about the (ha) Ka-Ching Ka-Ching.
Ain't about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Price Tag.
[Verse 2: Jessie J]
We need to take it back in time,
When music made us all UNITE!
And it wasn't low blows and video Hoes,
Am I the only one gettin... tired?
Why is everybody so obsessed?
Money can't buy us happiness
Can we all slow down and enjoy right now
Guarantee we'll be feelin
All right.
[Pre-Chorus:]
Everybody look to their left (yeah)
Everybody look to their right (ha)
Can you feel that (yeah)
Well pay them with love tonight...
[Chorus]
[Verse 3: B.o.B]
Yeah yeah
Well, keep the price tag
And take the cash back
Just give me six streams and a half stack
And you can keep the cars
Leave me the garage
And all I...
Yes all I need are keys and garage
And guess what, in 30 seconds I'm leaving to Mars
Yes we leaving across these undefeatable odds
It's like this man, you can't put a price on life
We do this for the love so we fight and sacrifice everynight
So we ain't gon stumble and fall never
Waiting to see, a sign of defeat uh uh
So we gon keep everyone moving there feet
So bring back the beat and everybody sing
It's not about...
[Chorus x2]
[Outro: Jessie J]
Yeah yeah
Oo-oooh
Forget about the price tag

Citizen Cope: Pablo Picasso
The woman that I love
Is forty feet tall
She's a movie star
She's all in the papers
And everywhere i go
People hand me quarters
And they pat me on the back
They treat me like im famous
I'll never leave her side
'Cause today can be dangerous
And when the night arrives
The light hit her features
And the cars drive by
Just so they could see her
And she never bats an eye
When someone takes her picture
Mr.Officer if you've come to take her
Then that means one of us
Gonna end up in a stretcher
Gonna end up in the papers, going end up in the papers, yeah
If i had a pistol
I'd brandish it and wave it
She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy
She's gonna testify on my behalf
Down at the Navy
So I can get some peace
And provide for my babies
I got a stick and a bottle
I'll pretend I got a razor
Helicopters and cameras all shottin' for the station
They say that a wild man defending his lady
But for some odd reason they keep calling you a painting

one eskimo: simple day
let me tell you about a simple day
in my own way i woke up a 6 today
put on the coffee machine
i always dreamed of being a millionaire
without a care in the world because i'm loosing my hair
dressing up like a model in the shop window
even though i know i got it wrong and it don't go
you get to work to find that your boss in a mood
man what makes him think that he can be so rude
forgot to wash your face and your head aches too
people are staring as they pass you by ay ay
let it go don't show that you're a single man
and not a day goes by without a porno mag
god dam if i had only stayed at home today
i'll be fine to live the rest of my life this way
just a simple day (sometimes i don't know why we're living)
just a simple day (these times when everything's slow)
just a simple day (sometimes i don't know why we're living)
just a simple day (these times)
let me tell you about a simple day
in my own way fined for jaywalking
while i was talking to the traffic man
who's on commission man
he said thats what i do to put my kids through school
so my apologies, enjoy your day
who's he to say that when taking my money away
think man if i had only stayed at home today
i'll be fine to live the rest of my life this way
just a simple day (sometimes i don't know why we're living)
just a simple day (these times when everything's slow)
just a simple day (sometimes i don't know why we're living)
just a simple day (these times)
just a simple day (sometimes i don't know why we're living)
just a simple day (these times when everything's slow)
just a simple day (sometimes i don't know why we're living)
just a simple day (these times)

Words and Worlds
Words and Worlds:
This article begins with the events of 9/11. Obviously one of the most significant events in the past few decades in our American history, sparking questions on political issues and security. But what this articles focus on is the question, “How many events took place in New York on that morning in September?” It is argued there was one, but other argue that it was much more complex. There were two towers hit. Two different times. Another that the passengers brought down before it reached its target in Washington. Could possibly one of these towers have not been meant to be hit? The event can be qualified as one or two, dependent upon how we mentally describe it to ourselves.
How do we frame events? What point of view is it looked at? This article shows how one thing can be looked at in different ways to almost create something different to whomever is analyzing it. The author points to how the mind categorizes matter into discrete things, continuous stuff, and similar categories into discrete events and continuous activities.
The article goes on to explain how there are many conspiracy theories but where they differ is in the construal of those facts.. “how the intricate swirl of matter in space ought to be conceptualized by human minds.” but it is the casual link between the intention of a man and a change in an object that distinguished the understanding of 9/11 from the theories.
CONTINUING:
Semantics is about the relation of words to thought, but it is also about the relation of words to other human concerns.
A feature of the mind is that even our most abstract concepts are understood in terms of concrete scenarios.
These previous points lead to the idea of an event, three and a half billion dollars was given as an insurance payout to Larry Silverstein, the leaseholder of the World Trade Center. This is considered to have been the world’s most expensive debate in semantics. The money received was due to the definition of event.
Keeping with same theme but analyzing a different event the article goes on to speak of George Bush’s reason for war. Saddam’s supposedly assembling of nuclear weapons, framed for the viewers to believe exactly what he was saying. After finding out this was not true headlines claimed “Bush lied” but this is not necessarily the truth. His resources were pointing towards his first conclusion. So we don’t know.
“Learning: it entails the belief attributed to the subject’s truth.” You don’t necessarily “learn” the truth but if you’re being taught it doesn’t it seem like the truth originally? SO the important question with this is...”could semantics really be that consequential in political history?” (in dealing with Bush’s claim) I think yes, these fine point verbs led us into a war where people now believe our past president untruthfully led us in, but to me he wasn’t lying. Like the article states; words are tied to reality when their meanings depend, as factive verbs do, on a speaker’s commitments about the truth. The simple point...a lot of times the idea that meaning of the words, of the facts, are in the head.
In conclusions, the connectedness of words to real people and things is important to analyze not just the connection of words to information. This creates a complex analysis that can be taken to cases such as the world trade center or the real truth of a person’s identity.
Interesting article...

Christina Perri: Arms
I never thought that you would be the one to hold my heart
You came around and you knocked me off the ground from the start
You put your arms around me
and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go
You put your arms me and I'm home
How many times will let you me change my mind and turn around?
I can't decide if I'll let you save my life or if I'll drown
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let our love get so close
You put your arms around me and I'm home
The world is coming down on me and I can't find a reason to be loved
I never wanna leave you but I can't make you bleed if I'm alone
You put your arms around me
and I believe that it's easier for you to let me go...
I hope that you see right through my walls
I hope that you catch me 'cause I'm already falling
I'll never let our love get so close...
You put your arms around me and I'm home...
You put your arms around me and I'm home...

Citizen Cope D'Artagnan Theme
I've been sinning
I've been livin'
I've been beaten
By Saturdays
On a diamond
I lay on a diamond
On a diamond
I lay awake
D'Artagnan
Good ol' D'Artagnan
He ain't got a thing on me
I've been minding
To my field of timing
Too bad your time in
It just never came
Well I don't know how else to say it
In a different way
But why don't you just fade away
'Cause there's a battle going on
Down south of Babylon
So why don;t you just fade away
I've been dealing
I've been healing
I've been dealing
A crooked game
Thieving pirates
