Lyrics = Life

You`ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

I saw a navy blue bird
Flying way above the sea
I walked on and I learned later
That this navy blue bird was me
I returned a paler blue bird

Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match

He was a rebel that broke all the rules
Everyone can't stop talkin'
About the legend of Johnny

Ooh Johnny Johnny ooh
Life's not complete till your heart's missed a beat
And you'll never make it up, or turn back the clock

Used to wanna be the best of the rap dons (rap dons)
Now his only one concern is goin platinum (plati-NUM)
And his skills has since decreased, and the inner hunger ceased
Now content, just as long as fame and cash come (CASH come)

And I scream at the top of my lungs
What's going on?

I feel like no-one ever told the truth to me
About growing up and what a struggle it would be

Pour your misery down...pour
You can keep me company
As long as you don’t care

What would we do without these jerks anyway?
Besides, all our friends are here

I'm not afraid
Of anything in this world
There's nothing you can throw at me
That I haven't already heard
I'm just trying to find
A decent melody
A song that I can sing
In my own company

Mots pressé, mots sensé,
Mots qui disent la verité,
Mots maudits, mots mentis,
Mots qui manquent le fruit d'esprit
What are words worth?

Anyone recognize any of these songs?

[Addendum 4/28: Anyone else notice that, while women's names abound in lyrics--e.g. Sara, Marion, Brandy, etc.--there really are very few men's names used? It seems that every guy mentioned in a song is Johnny. Johnny is Everyman. Weird. Not unexpected, I guess, since historically most published songs were written by men. Just odd.
Anyway, I didn't write these lyrics, I just copied them here because they made an interesting story arc.]
