Ronald Ernest "Ron" Paul (born August 20, 1935) is an American politician who has been the U.S. Representative for Texas's 14th congressional district, which includes Galveston, since 1997, and a three-time candidate for President of the United States, as a Libertarian in 1988 and as a Republican in 2008 and currently 2012. He is an outspoken critic of American foreign and monetary policies, including the Military–industrial complex and the Federal Reserve, and is known for his libertarian-leaning views, often differing from his own party on certain issues.
A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Paul is a graduate of Gettysburg College and Duke University School of Medicine, where he earned his medical degree. He served as a medical officer in the United States Air Force from 1963 until 1968. He worked as an obstetrician-gynecologist from the 1960s to the 1980s, delivering more than 4,000 babies. He became the first Representative in history to serve concurrently with a child in the Senate when his son Rand Paul was elected to the United States Senate for Kentucky in 2010.
Racing through the night
Pounding engine's roar
There's nothing that's like this
I'm burning to the core
Exhaust hangs in the air
Wind pressure thrusts my face
I love to ride and dare
Tonight I'm being chased
Riding hard, riding fast
Full speed ahead, hear my engine's blast
Spinning wheels roll down the road
I'm a bundle of power, see my rims glow
Raw ride
On burning wheels tonight
Shooting through the dark
Taking bend after bend
Pistons are pumping hard
I'm gonna ride to the end
Twilight's coming slow
Like a jackal on attack
But I know I have to go
To go on and show my back
Riding hard, riding fast
Full speed ahead, hear my engine's blast
Spinning wheels roll down the road
I'm a bundle of power, see my rims glow
Raw ride
On burning wheels tonight
I have to break free, to live on my own way tonight
I don't give a goddamn, what you want to force upon me
I've been working on my rewrite, that's right
I'm gonna change the ending
Gonna throw away my title
And toss it in the trash
Every minute after midnight
All the time I'm spending
It's just for working on my rewrite
Gonna turn it into cash
I've been working at the carwash
I consider it my day job
Cause it's really not a pay job
But that's where I am
Everybody says the old guy working at the carwash
Hasn't got a brain cell left since Vietnam
But I say help me, help me, help me, help me
Thank you!
I'd no idea
That you were there
When I said help me, help me, help me, help me
Thank you, for listening to my prayer
I'm working on my rewrite, that's right
I'm gonna change the ending
Gonna throw away my title
And toss it in the trash
Every minute after midnight
All the time I'm spending
Is just for working on my rewrite, that's right
I'm gonna turn it into cash
I'll eliminate the pages
Where the father has a breakdown
And he has to leave the family
But he really meant no harm
Gonna substitute a car chase
And a race across the rooftops
When the father saves the children
And he holds them in his arms
And I say help me, help me, help me, help me
Thank you!
I'd no idea
That you were there
When I said, help me, help me, help me, help me
You are a rarity
Your eyes say wisdom
Your skin says frailty
Your mouth says listen
Your voice a cello
Your words speak volumes
In and out around flow
Like Leonard Cohen's
Since you were invented
Since you came along
No one's even attempted
To come close to the beauty of your song
No hits on the radio
No one knows who you are
No big deal with a video
So you're never gonna be a star
You won't be attending
Meetings with presidents
Of companies pretending
To protect their investments
While they suck the gristle
Off the bones of your art
Unfaithful and fickle
Seductive and smart
They'll say you're a rarity
And sleep in your bed
And strangle your purity
And leave you for dead
They'll call you little honey
And write you a check
Seduce you with money
And fuck your respect
For offering a small glimpse
Through your secret door
Of your intellect and brilliance
You deserve so much more
'Cause you, you're a rarity
Your eyes say wisdom
Your skin says frailty
The waking sun on a desert plain
The polar star in the sky again
Your open eyes beam out the surprise from them
You're our reward
So unpredictable, so delectable
So undetectable, unsuspectable
You're our reward
There's nothing else after all
You're our reward
Do I still hear her laughter? Come see every laughter
Nothing still matters, the future's scattered
If it's the tactic it's just fantastic
Pure elation, simply anticipation
It's the suggestion, the eternal question
Wasn't feeling possible here and now
It is both of us after all still
Waiting and wanting not knowing what for
The meaning we're standing outside the door
Of everyday living, always the feeling was more
You're our reward
So unpredictable, so delectable
So undetectable, unsuspectable
You're our reward
You're our reward, I still hear her laughter
You're our reward, nothing else matters
You're our reward, if it's the tactic
You're our reward, pure elation
You're our reward, it's the suggestion
You're our reward of the eternal question
Do I still hear her laughter?
Nothing else matters, the future's scattered
If it's the tactic it's just fantastic
Pure elation, anticipation
It's the suggestion to know the eternal question
To know the eternal question
To know the eternal question
To know the eternal question
To know the eternal question
She said forever..
I said forever?
Forever ever? forever ever ever ever ever ever ever?
Apparently forever only means four year!
This is the rewrite... this right here
this is the rewrite... this right here
this is the re-write, to anyone who has been fucked over in their life
This to the woman who I used to respect
Now I call her a bitch cause I'm constantly upset
So this is to the +bitch+ who cut communication
for a new relation
Selfishness spread through the nation
All I ever wanted was a hug
To wrap my loving arms around you, you blew it off with a shrug
So all I ever wanted was a hand to hold
I ain't the man to scold
Your plan is cold but god damn its old
It's about time get inside of my head while I'm out my mind
As I scream cry yell shout and whine
All I ever asked for
Was an ear to hear me
What you really have to wear that mask for?
You straight shattered my glass jaw
I'm picking up the pieces of my past, what you last saw
But see this, needless to say, you went astray
And all people ever hear Sage say is
I don't give a damn, I don't care
That's what I hear from myself tryin' to make things clear
Yeah, I don't give a FUCK for real I don't FUCKING CARE
You know why?
The pain stops with the end of raindrops
But this cloudy weather just reminds me of the time we spent together
And how you left forever like that with a snap of fingers
Pain lingers, this is to the
Woman who I made my family
Now I call her a bitch just to save my sanity
So this is to that +bitch+
She be right here, a monster in my reoccurring nightmare
Now when my grandfather died,
and my grandmother died,
and my dad fuckin' died
You saw me and just ignored me like "Sorry end of the story"
My family's dropping like flies somehow I got to rise
But nobody's by my side, can't look straight into my eyes
Nobody's by my side, look straight into my eyes
My fist grabs air, stare into the lies
I never felt more lonely, I made you the one and only
Individual to know me. This is the thanks that you show me?
I never felt more lonely, I made you the one and only
Individual to know me, never thought that you'd turn phony
But you did, I'm going all out kid
And I got mad hate to deal with
yo,I'm having trouble letting anyone get close to me
And that's a major problem because that's not the way it's supposed to be
Supposedly, I should keep my composure
Right now, I'm like "wow", it's time for me to seek closure
Pictures are destroyed - overexposure
Ever get that feeling that nobody really knows ya'?
This is to the woman who I called my best friend
Now I call her bitch, because she made the switch to that +bitch+
Who I shouldn't disrespect
So now I call her woman just to keep myself in check
fuck that
{this is the problem that's all inside my head
she said to me "the answer's easy if you take it logically"
i'd like to help you with your struggles to be free
there must be 50 ways to diss your ex lover] x2
without calling her a bitch
We played for you and you did not dance
we wailed and you did not listen
and John came neither eating nor drinking
and you said he is possessed by a demon
the son of man came eating and drinking
and you said he is a friend of tax collectors
but what can I say about you?
You are like children in the marketplace
Shouting to your playmates
he who receives a prophet because he is a
prophet will receive the prophets reward
he who receives a righteous man because he is a
righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward
Since I saw that rodeo in 1965
I had to try to be the greatest bareback rider alive
I went and did some practicing on pa’s old ropin’ mare
And I thought I’d take that bronc I’d drawed
And really part it’s hair
When they opened up the gate he did a double flip
Half way through the second one is when I lost my grip
I hooked my spurs into the dees and hung with all my might
I held my breath he chinned the moon
And sucked back to the right
My boots came off and went asailin’ right up in the stands
My belt it broke and shattered my watch I lost my wedding band
I scattered all my cigarettes my shirt ripped down the back.
I sure was gettin’ dizzy and I thought my neck would crack
I rode him several jumps with both hands high up in the air
He jumped into an old light pole we parted company there
I landed in some muddy slop he stomped right through my side
Nothin’ ever busted me like that old pony ride
I couldn’t seem to catch my breath I couldn’t seem to hide
I hobbled back barefooted just a searchin’ for my pride
And I just couldn’t believe my achin’ ears
When the announcer said re-ride re-ride re-ride
I’ve had enough for 20 men and he calls up re-ride
Re-ride re-ride
You’d think he got me good enough they give him one more try
R U ready?
Pum, pump, let me see you jump
Shake your rump, push it real good
Break it down with the funk
One love, like the LB say, right, right
Music Makes Us High, but you've been given shade
'Cause I stay paid, sippin' lemonade
Don't be mad 'cause I got it made
Diva-hatin' waitin' snake in the grass
Look me up and down when I pass
Vibin' with your girlfriends
Jealous of my dividends and my Benz, and my ends
Like no other butter,
Smooth like cream, I keep in milky
When I move on the scene
Got you fiending, on lock down, can't you tell?
Never fell, black queens doing it well
We be the crew that you wanna step to
Sisters with an attitude, now how my mic sounds?
- My mic sound nice
Check one, check 2, everybody make way
Party people coming through
Throw your hands up, put 'em up
Bounce, hold steady, are you ready?
We make you burn with the hot track
Spin and scratch the hot wax
So I could grab the microphone and climax
Bars stay lean and cream keep stacking
Dr. Suess cracking the beats with no slacking
So move with the groove, makes your knees weaker
Salt-N-Pepa coming through your speaker
Hot blazing, so amazing, 150 proof raisin' the roof
Who got the juice now?
Yeah, poppa, I'm gonna break you off something proper
Show stopper like Frankie Crocker
Female phenomenon, when you get off, then put me on
Miss Jiggy, hell yeah, huh, the bom digi
Microphone check one, 2, brand new coming through
You know how we do, stay on point like a needle
Who are you to judge like Ito?
Recognize Salt-N-Pep's stello
I'm about to make the whole world bounce
Make it freaky 'til you're drippin'
Salt-N-Peppa got me in the VI sippin'
On the dance floor, nonstop how we movin' in
Game so tight, lubrication couldn't loosen it
B.L.A.Q the bomb
Y'all know Chi-Ca, Chi-Co who matching my flow
Shake what your momma created until it hurt ya
Daddy came to freak it down
And work ya, what time is it?
P to the B to the P to the A
Lay my game down precise like every day
Display many styles for years I've been here
Iced out sex appeal I put your lights out
Pull your mics out, we rock the party
Freak your body, no need for a shottie
I'm gonna make you sweat all night, hold tight
All heads turn when I snatch the mic
Send the party into orbit
Coppin' drop tops 'cause I can afford it
Ain't nothing, party over here
What you doing on the other side?
We came here to get live, take a ride
With the S and the P, hey, pep mc
Shine every time just like the Lex be
You wanna test me, don't floss
We got the flow tha'll break you off
Decent, leave you locked like the precinct
How we get down worldwide
Everybody know about the sound
Let it pound in your system one time
Rooms spin like hurricanes
Walls begin to breath
When will this be over
Like it more
Then i should
Its taking over me
When will this be over
Fighting for you
Struggling for you
Waiting for you
What do i do this for
All for the high
Why do i do this why
All for the high
I rummage through this disaster
To find a reward
Why do i do this why
All for the high
Torn in half again
I still feel the same
My head spins like a hurricane
I cant see
Right in front of me
Through the shit inside of me
When will this be over
Fighting for you
Struggling for you
Waiting for you
What do i do this for
All for the high
Why do i do this why
All for the high
I rummage through this disaster
To find a reward
Why do i do this why
All for the high
My head spins
Lost control
When will this be over
My eyes roll
Look inside
When will this be over
What do i do this for
All for the high
Why do i do this why
All for the high
I rummage through this disaster
To find a reward
Why do i do this why
You don't know me
You can't hold me
I'll slip through your hands
I am one single grain of sand
You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
If that is all you need
I'm an empty space
I can't be replaced
So when you're finished with this dream
Delete begin to rewrite me
You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
If that is all you need
You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
If that is all you need
You are free to love
Happily received
You are free to love
I feel like the time has come
A fearless rescue from everyone
Who made you the master?
The lady caster, I found you looking for a good time
I was out in exile perfecting my style
I knew you wanted a reaction
Hit me! Harder! I'm getting re-wired
I flip the switch that make you feel electric
Even! Faster! Than before
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
Try to keep up, you scatter brain
She will enter through your vein
Who was your creator?
The one who made you, the flame I need to heat the silver
You'd bring Gods to their knees pick out the bad seeds
Relieve the generals of theirs duties
Hit me! Harder! I'm getting re-wired
I flip the switch that make you feel electric
Even! Faster! Than before
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
Who made you the master?
The Lady caster, I found you looking for a good time
Now this blood and glitter, it tastes so bitter
There's no retreat for I surrender
Hit me! Harder! I'm getting re-wired
I flip the switch that make you feel electric
Even! Faster! Than before
I'm gonna light 'em up with you
Father, I didn't really know you
Mother, you are so very far away from me
Hopeless birthdays made me cry
My heart kept saying, "It's all right"
Obviously that's how it was meant to be
Now I know
There was a reason for it all
And I am not lonely anymore
I got my reward, that's why I am loved
I have you, a lover and a friend
You are everything I need
You are the sun, the air I breathe
Without you, life wouldn't be the same
Please never go away
And if you go then don't forget
To take me with you
The love that I gave was used against me
Honesty seemed a foreign
And old-fashioned word
Maybe I just don't understand
'Cause I'm a stranger in this land
Even friends failed
To make me feel at home
Now I know
There was a reason for it all
And I am not lonely anymore
I got my reward, that's why I am loved
I have you, a lover and a friend
You are everything I need
You are the sun, the air I breathe
Without you, life wouldn't be the same
Please never go away
And if you go then don't forget
To take me with you
You are my reward
You are my reward
Now I know
There was a reason for it all
And I am not lonely anymore
I got my reward, that's why I am loved
I have you, a lover and a friend
You are everything I need
You are the sun, the air I breathe
I have you, a lover and a friend
You are everything I need
You are the sun, the air I breathe
Without you, life wouldn't be the same
Please never go away
And if you go then don't forget
To take me with you
You are my reward
You are my reward
You are my reward

Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news
The king sits on his face but it's all assumed
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it too
Until I learn to accept my reward
Prisoners stand in queues and stand in queues
Live in solitude like Howard Hughes
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
Silence has it
Arrogance has it
I can't have it ooh
Until I learn to accept my reward
Suddenly it struck me very clear
Suddenly it struck me very clean
All wrapped up the same
All wrapped up the same
They can't have it
You can't have it
I can't have it too
Until I learn to accept my reward
(RPT)
Once upon our time in a land far gone where hate crimes
enforced by state crime
Even though they say the land of the free was made for
both you and me
Well the girl next door might have cancer and the
hospital nearby's got the answer
But she's never been there
Can't afford health care
In the arms of the home and the brave she's carried to
her grave
Marionettes for president strung out on wars
And we're not sure who's American anymore
Division of church and state is my kind of separatism
Spreading our love through scare tactics is casual
terrorism
And if abortion's murder, let's strip that right away
And who gave women the right to vote anyway?
So many babies brought into the world today
Amongst so many maybes
Like maybe they'll feel loved, be provided for, and
have a place to stay
But instead of placing them in loving, stable homes
That might not fill the conservative bill
They're tossed around the foster system like a hot
potato
Instead of making friends with Dorothy they're thrown
to the tornado
Death, war ensigned by murders who came to power
through the backdoor
Is this democracy or a monarchy?
What do we hold elections for?
You read your personal agenda on a Post-it note
And leave the Constitution lying on the bathroom floor
This is for The World Trade Center
For Columbine
For Oklahoma City
And the lost and lonely friends of mine
For Ireland, Iran, Iraq
And the suffering caused by the Indian Ocean's attack
For ??? and the Berlin Wall, the homeless, the hungry
And slaves to drugs and alcohol
Indian, Australian, African slaves
Native Americans whose amber waves of grain were melted
down into white men's riches
Victims of war and for Salem's witches
For boys who were told to act more like boys
And for girls who were told, "You only play with girl
toys"
The voiceless, forgotten, plagued by disease
God help us, please
Please
Please
Maybe one day I'll stop alternating
Between 13 hours of eating and 13 hours of sleeping
And do something about it with what I guess could've

Thankful for the power of erasers and backspace. Words
written at a weak time, they are now meaningless. Those
spoken can’t be taken back. Hope to plug the holes in the
colander that lets everything wash away.Desperate to hold
Upon a throne of doubt I sat
Contemplating where my life was at
And in that certain way, fate smiled
Fate smiled on me
They say such foolish dreams could never manifest into reality
They’ll wish we never made a sound
WE ARE A LACK OF SILENCE
Our shadows seen on the horizon
A cloud of smoke is billowing
Why do we carry these torches around?
In hopes to burn everything to the ground
As though it never happened we’ll carry on
Climbing towards the final destination
Our final resting place
Every breath that we now take
Every moment that we’re awake
We can’t forget we could be alone in this world
Strive for this as though it’s your magnum opus
Endelig vart det helg
har findressen klar og ei nyvaska skjort
Her e inga tid å mest'
om uka går seint så går helga alt for fort
En dram innfor vesten. litt godlukt bakom øret
slips og joggesko, og æ e kledd for alt slags føre
Når røyken ligg tung og tett, pass dokk piker
her kjæm kveldens mann
Berre vent te æ har kommi i siget
da ska dokk få sjå ka den her guten kan
Men først må æ skål, og søng no'n ville sanga
Når æ våkne i morra ska æ ha dressjakken på vranga
Her bli det liv - RAI RAI
når æ kjæm i varmen
Åh! For et liv - RAI RAI
når æ får skrudd på sjarmen
Det bli liv - RAI RAI
te langt utpå natta
Æ lande itj med det første
når æ endelig har tatt av
Det tar litt tid å bli sjarmør
Det e itj enkelt å vær spontan
Da e det godt å ha styrkedråpa
som itj regnes i prosenta, det går i oktan
Så gjør klar på golvet, la musikken kling
How much are you willing to take
how much are you willing to give up?
as long as there is a reward
where do you draw the line?
torn all up, I don't care
as long as I get what I hold dear
nothing in this world is real
these feeling that I've got
Are they real?
if we could break this whole world open
if we could free ourselves from it all
would you be willing to losse it all?
lets pick up up that stone and make it fall
we are safe as the barricades burn
we are safe - do we want to be safe?
there is a fucking ware on
am I fighting at all?
ouyr lives at stake, do I care?
do I fucking care?
what am I waiting for?
You've had yours
Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news

Hauràs notat que et segueixo,
ès que sense tu davant meu no se pas on vaig,
t'hauràs fixat que pateixo,
fins hi tot la teva mare m'ha vist rera teu.
Em fas sentir tantes coses,
quan et veig parlar amb algú altre
em poso malalt,
també em tremolen les cames
quan els teus ulls em despullen davant
de tothom.
Si algun dia, algú et parla de mi,
digues que et sona el meu nom,
però que no s'etescapi mai,
que em vas estimar.
Les hores passen tan ràpid,
quan estic amb tu el temps corre i no puc parar,
tu dius que no sóc simpàtic,
quan estic amb tu canvio la personalitat.
Si algun dia algú et parla de mi,
digues que et sona el meu nom,
però que no s'etescapi mai que em vas estimar.
I si un dia em trobo sol, et trucaré,
per sentir la teva veu
i si em veus perdut al carrer, sisplau,
