Gimme some good meaningful lyric'ed songs.

anything by Tool (they're not just some heavy metal band despite their fans) Anyone for Tennis (Cream) Anyhting by Jim Morrison, That's The Way (Led Zeppelin) Most stuff by RAtM is deep if you listen to the lyrics. System of a down sucks and is not deep. Same with most popular music.
 
Terrapin Station by the Grateful Dead

the best storytelling song of all time. you need to get all 3 or 4 parts of the song though: lady with a fan, terrapin, etc.
 
george harisson-

We were talking - about the space between us all

And the people - who hide themselves behind a wall of illusion

Never glimpse of truth - then it's far too late - when they pass away

We were talking - about the love we could all share - when we find it

To try our best to hold it there - with our love

With our love - We could save the world - if they only knew

Try to realise it's all within yourself no-one else can make you change

And to see you're really only very small, and life flows on

wit-hin and wit-hout you

We were talking - about the love that's gone so cold and the people,

Who gain the world and lose their soul - then you may find,

pea-ce of mind, is waiting there

And the time will come when you see we're all one, and life flows on within and without you
 
harlem streets-immortal tech

[Verse 1]

Yeah.... Harlem streets stay flooded in white powder

Like those mother fuckers runnin' away from the twin towers

Gun shots rock the earth like a meteor shower

Bowling For Columbine, fair, giving the media power

Innocence devoured like a chicken spot snack box

Government cocain cooked into ghetto crack rock

Corrupt cops false testimony at your arraignment

Check to check, constant struggle to make the payments

Working your whole life wondering where the day went

The subway stays pakced like a multi-cultural slave ship

It's rush hour, 2:30 to 8, non stoppin'

And people coming home after corporate share croppin

And fuck flossin, mothers are trying to feed children

But gentrification is kicking them out of their building

A generation of babies born without health care

Families homeless, thrown the fuck off of the welfare

[Hook]

Homicide Harldem, BLAOW!, what's the problem?

Homicide Harldem, BLAOW!, what's the problem?

Homicide Harldem, BLAOW!, what's the problem?

Homicide Harldem, BLAOW!, what's the problem?

[Verse 2]

It's like Cambodia the killing fields uptown

We live in distress and hang the flag upside down

The sound of conservative politicians on television

People in the hood are blind so they tell us to listen

They vote for us to go to war instantly

But none of their kids serving the infantry

The odds are stacked against us like a casino

Think about it, most of the army is black and latino

And if you can't acknowledge the reality of my words

You just another stupid mother fucker out on the curb

Trying to escape from the ghetto with your ignorant ways

But you can't read history at an illiterate stage

And you can't raise a family on minimum wage

Why the fuck you think most of us are locked in a cage

I give niggaz the truth, cause they pride is indigent

You better off rich and guilty than poor and innocent

But I'm sick of feeling impotent watching the world burn

In the era of apocalypse waiting my turn

I'm a Harlem nigga that's concerned with the future

And if your in my way it'd be an honor to shoot ya

Up root ya with the evil that grows in my people

Making them deceitful, cannibalistic and lethal

But I see through the mentality implanted in us

And I educate my fam about who we should trust

[Hook]

Homicide Harldem, BLAOW!, what's the problem?

Homicide Harldem, BLAOW!, what's the problem?

Homicide Harldem, BLAOW!, what's the problem?

Homicide Harldem, BLAOW!, what's the problem?
