Genre ( /ˈʒɒnrə/ or /ˈdʒɒnrə/; from French, genre French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ʁ], "kind" or "sort", from Latin: genus (stem gener-), Greek: genos, γένος) is the term for any category of literature or other forms of art or entertainment, e.g. music, whether written or spoken, audial or visual, based on some set of stylistic criteria. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented and the use of old ones are discontinued. Often, works fit into multiple genres by way of borrowing and recombining these conventions.
The concept of genre originated from the classification systems created by Aristotle and Plato. Plato divided literature into the three classic genres accepted in Ancient Greece: poetry, drama, and prose. Poetry is further subdivided into epic, lyric, and drama. The divisions are recognized as being set by Aristotle and Plato; however, they were not alone. Many genre theorists contributed to these universally accepted forms of poetry. Similarly many theorists continued to philosophize about genre and its uses, which caused genre as Plato and Aristotle knew it to evolve and further expand.
I woke up with a message on the wire...
It was from my lover telling me goodbye.
The image that was fading on the other side
Never thought to leave a reason why.
Sometimes when my mind begins to wander,
I realize that things aren't what they seem.
There's a question lingering within my mind,
Could it be my lover was a dream?
Why can't I be saved by science?
Can science rescue me?
Saved by technology,
Since it put me in the place I seem to be.
Thinking back on what we had together,
Suddenly the truth appeared to me.
My imagination caught me by surprise.
My computer reprogrammed my dream.
Saved by science.
Can science rescue me?
Saved by technology,
Since it put me in the place I seem to be.
Science...
Saved by science.
Can science rescue me?
High technology will set me free.
It has started somehow
Cross words yelled,
Friendship felled,
And two planets at war now.
Single minded missiles fly,
Streaking past, Earthbound,
And no one really knows why;
No one really knows just why...
Lifeline, lifeline.
Drowning in dreams.
Throw me your heartline
Hold me in your arms
And stop these horror trips;
Your lips erase my visions of apocalypse.
Cry out for mankind
Suddenly lost.
Global holocaust.
Thought it may be
Only in my mind.
Single minded missiles fly,
Streaking past, Earthbound,
And no one really just knows why...
Lifeline, lifeline.
Drowning in dreams.
Throw me your heartline
Hold me in your arms
And stop these horror trips;
Your lips erase my visions of apocalypse.
Through star studded skies
Steel rain drops fall
In fiery balls
And tears fill my eyes.
Lifeline, lifeline.
Drowning in dreams.
Throw me your heartline
Hold me in your arms
And stop these horror trips;
Your lips erase my visions of apocalypse.
Lifeline, lifeline, lifeline.
Throw me your heartline.
Lifeline, oh, lifeline, lifeline.
Throw me your heartline.
Lifeline, oh, lifeline, lifeline.
When you are feeling
Something is missing from your life,
Feeling you're all alone.
When simple answers
To ordinary questions
Are so elusive all the time.
You can
(Refrain 1) Call on me, lean on me.
Why don't you call on me,
You know I'll be there.
I'll be there...
When everybody
Becomes a stranger in your mind,
You might remember what to do.
(Refrain 2) Call on me, lean on me.
Why don't you call on me.
Oh ohh you know you can
Call on me, lean on me.
Why don't you call on me,
You know I'll be there.
Believe what you see with your eyes.
No need to know the reason why.
(Why don't you...)
(Refrain 1)
(Refrain 2, repeat)
The time has finally come,
We can shape our destiny.
Together we will have the strength to be...
We share a common bond
With all humanity.
We can't wait for tomorrow...
(Chorus) The future is now,
There's no better time to get in line.
The future is here,
Today, hey.
The future is now,
Let's stand up and fight, we know it's right.
Nothing will stand in our way.
Like a beacon in the night,
The truth is shining on.
There's no need for us to be afraid.
We can't give up the fight,
We have to carry on.
We can't put off till tomorrow
What we can do today.
(Chorus)
We have got to understand,
The future's in our hands.
(Chorus)
The time has finally come,

(Chorus)
Staring out my window
I brush my hair
Getting dressed to meet my friends but I don’t know what to wear
Commercial shows on my T.V. about these cool designer jeans
That I put on at the mall, change the channel and I see
Hannah Montana’s wearing my jeans
Ashley Tisdale’s wearing my jeans
Keke Palmer’s wearing my jeans
I just can’t believe they wore those jeans like me!
O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) she wore those jeans like me
O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) she wore those jeans like me
Like me (me) (me) (me) x4
She wore those jeans like me
Staring at the mall window
I finger through a smile
I thought about how cool I’d look if I had them on right now
I’m anxious, excited, they’re on my mind
It feels like Heelys are racing on my spine
I just can’t wait to call these my jeans
Everyone can look at me and my jeans
I can go anywhere in my jeans
But I still can’t believe she wore those jeans like me
O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) she wore those jeans like me
O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) she wore those jeans like me
Like me (me) (me) (me) (x4)
She wore those jeans like me
One, here comes the two to the three
Not, it’s the T-R-I-double G
Why? She got those cool new jeans that sittin’ in the J-E-T but she’s fly
You might see me in a video, tv show, MTV, Nick, HBO
Jenna could be a model in a fashion show, look there she goes
ABC, 123, that girl wore her jeans like me
I bet she’s mad ‘cause I look fab
Ha ha ha ha, jack my swag
Sticks and stones may break my bones
but mine look new and hers just look so o-old, so o-old, so old
Oh my, look at those jeans
They should be posted in magazines
Matter of fact, let me get my phone
You can strike a pose, smile for the camera, FREEZE!
What, Trig bought a new Blackberry? (x3)
Ah, just take the picture already!
Sorry, I was stuck in a daydream when I bought those jeans
With my new ice creams and I looked so good when I hit the scene
So fresh, so clean, all eyes on me
Then I turned on my T.V.
What do I see, the Black Eyed Peas? And Jay Z?
I just can’t believe they wore they jeans like me
O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) she wore those jeans like me
O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) she wore those jeans like me
Like me (me) (me) (me) x4
She wore those jeans like me
O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) she wore those jeans like me
O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) O-M-G (oh oh ohhh) she wore those jeans like me
Couplet 1:
J'pense pas à mon avenir, j'le vis
J'sais qu'il est comme un saphir poli
J'sais pas si j'peux l'écrire, j'te dis
J'sais pas si j'suis béni ou maudit
J'ai p'têtre bien les griffes de Freddy
Ou j'suis un p'tit ours comme Teddy
Sans les mains, gifle scre-di
J'te choque comme une bifle de ma te-bi /
Suisse matos, Suisse matos, l'alcool est cé-fran
Les bitchs sont cé-fran ou suisses ma grosse (x2)
Et j'vais donner ma vie au swag frais

J'fixe bien ma te-té avec un joint sûr /
Skunk, Jeune Ras, Pointure
Opé, Maintien, Ceinture

Je sais la fin d'mon film sera forcément tragique

J'suis un d'ces druides: Panoramix

Couplet 1:
J'ai tant de peine pour les soldats tombés, mes frères qu'ont glissé
J'éloigne la haine, j'm'en sers au cas où j'aurais besoin d'me torcher
Détente bien fraiche assurée, défendre des thèmes emmurés
Descente bien longue enfumée, cherche à faire dans la durée
Entre vivre libre ou se vendre moi j'ai fais un choix
J'suis trop ivre de bonheur pour penser à me pendre: Chemin de croix
Je sais qu'ça passe vite (vite)
Donc quand j'effrite (frite)
J'defonce ce beat (beat)
J'vis sans limite (mite)
Jeune Ras Krispies, mange-moi: Corn Flakes
J'sais comment la mettre à l'aise et tester ses réflexes
Je nage dans c'biz crois-moi gros j'suis à l'aise
J'fais ça tellement frais quand ils galèrent et se vexent
Refrain
Couplet 2:
Tapis volant: substance magique
On arrive en picolant la suite est tragique
J'peux rapper en rigolant, ils n'ont pas de technique
Décolletés pigeonnants, nos fraîches sont agiles
Servi sur plateau, j'résiste: Glières
Quelqu'un m'entend? J'crois qu'y'a personne au bout d'mes prières
On prend des vents à vouloir connaitre l'après cimetière
J'suis goûtu comme un mélange spécial: Piment, Roquefort, Gruyère
Je n'veux pas de l'argent de Rockefeller
J'dis nan quand il faut se taire
J'suis pas dans leur délire gangster, j'préfère m'envoyer en l'air
Fraîche, ils voudraient que tu mettes leurs posters
Que pour eux tu t'fasses marquer au fer
Sérieux faut qu'ils arrêtent d'être d'équerre
