Into The Void

[Rhythm N. Bliss]

This is the cut I've been wanting to hear the most off the Limited Edition SOUNGARDEN cd BADMOTORFINGER that a bud has had for awjile. I've been askin' & askin' time & again for him to give it back to me....& I finally got it back tonight!

You may know that this track is Black Sabbath music combined with an Indian Chief's words:

Into The Void~ SOUNDGARDEN

How can you buy or sell the sky
Or the warmth of the land it's strange to us
We don't own the freshness of the air
Or the sparkle of the water
How can you buy them from us
The white man doesn't understand our ways
For he's a stranger who comes in the night
And takes from the land just what he needs

Oh yeah

He treats his brothers like his enemies

When it's completed he moves on
He leaves his father's grave and his birthright
His birthright is forgotten
The air is precious to the red man
For all things share the same breath
The white man won't notice the air he breathes
Like a man dying for many days

All right now

The whites must treat the beasts of his land
As his brothers not his enemies
Tell me what is man without the beasts
I'll bet he will die of loneliness

One thing we know that the white man will
We know our god is the same god
You may think you wish to own him
Own him as you wish to own our land
But he is the body of man
And the earth is precious to him
Continue to contaminate your bed
And you will suffocate in your waste

Music: F. Iommi, W. Ward, J. Osbourne, T. Butler
Lyrics: Chief Sealth

This track is now on youtube for those of you that don't have this:



Great to hear again! All the songs on the Bonus Disc are real good:

2 more are covers--

Girl U Want ~ DEVO

Stray Cat Blues ~ Stones

These may be covers too, but if so, don't know who did 'em originally. Lost my cd booklet.

She's A Politician

Slaves & Bulldozers

Of course, the main cd is great too! Rusty Cage, Outshined, etc.

[SKATE RAT]

that was on SST records who i belive is out of buisness.wasn't "Stray cat blues" about horizontal dancing with a 15 year old girl?

[Rhythm N. Bliss]

Yeah! The Classic line is:
I know you're only 15 years old...but I don't want your I.D. heh

Oh well, so much for discussing deep, meaningful lyrics in this thread.
