4. A man's ambition gone too far A man whose passion Missed the mark No one said it was easy No one said it would Tear him apartHe's gained the world he's lost his soul In his heart there is a hole places to go right from the start It's too late, they've grown apartThe world's a mission Endless ambition Time's the blade That cuts right through your heart The rat race won How far you've come Now you're aloneThe ones you loved are goneThe world's a mission Endless ambition Time's the blade That cuts right through your heart The rat race won How far you've come Now you're aloneThe ones you loved are gone The theme this song represents is ambition; It came from Frankenstein. The meaning of this song is: if you get to wrapped up in what you’re doing you can lose everything; it fits the theme I chose because it talks about the same thing. (Frankenstein) Ambition-The Brian Cline Band

6. Born down in a dead mans townThe first kick I took was when I hit the groundYou end up like a dog thats been beat too muchTill you spend half your life just covering upBorn in the u.s.a., I was born in the u.s.a.I was born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a.Got in a little hometown jamSo they put a rifle in my handSent me off to a foreign landTo go and kill the yellow manBorn in the u.s..a....Come back home to the refineryHiring man said son if it was up to meWent down to see my v.a. man The theme this song represents is the AmericanDream; It came from Of Mice and Men.

7. "What we've got here is failure to communicate.Some men you just can't reach...So, you get what we had here last week,which is the way he wants it!Well, he gets it!N' I don't like it any more than you men." *Look at your young men fightingLook at your women cryingLook at your young men dyingThe way they've always done The conflict this song represents is war; It came from Last of the Mohicans.

8. There's a hero if you look inside your heart. You don't have to be afraid of what you are. There's an answer if you reach into your soul and the sorrow that you know will melt away. And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on and you cast your fears aside and you know you can survive. So, when you feel like hope is gone look inside you and be strong and you'll finally see the truth that a hero lies in you. The theme this song represents is AmericanHero; It came form Glory. The meaning of this song is: under any situation every person could be a “hero”; It fits the theme I chose because it talks about making the right decisions during certain situations. (Glory) Hero-Mariah Carey

9. Folks I'd like to sing a song about the American Dream About me About you About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottoms of our chests About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts Or maybe below the cockles Maybe in the sub-cockle area Maybe in the liver Maybe in the kidneys Maybe even in the colon We don't know I'm just a regular joe With a regular job I'm your average white The theme this song represents is egotist; It came from Frankenstein. The meaning of this song is: if you’re conceded you don’t notice what is happening around you; It fits the theme I chose because it talks about caring only about yourself. (Frankenstein) I’m An A**hole-Dennis Leary

10. I must've dreamed a thousand dreamsBeen haunted by a million screamsBut I can hear the marching feetMoving into the streetNow did you read the news today?They say the danger's gone awayBut I can see the fire still alightBurning into the nightThere's too many men, too many peopleMaking too many problemsAnd there's not much love to go aroundCan't you see this is a land of confusion? The conflict this song represents is manvs. power, It came from Of Mice and Men The meaning of this song is: even if you don’t have power you can still make a difference; It fits the conflict I chose because it talks about standing up to those in control. (Of Mice and Men) Land of Confusion - Disturbed

11. Look, listen to my voiceIf you're making the choiceTell me all the girls and the boysEither scream or rejoiceLet's make that noiseEither move or we will all be destroyedMove and show me what you can doWhen you step into the circle and shake like we doAnd move when you just can't take itAnd move if you just feel like breaking it The conflict this song represents is manvs.society; It came from Glory. The meaning of this song is: sometimes you have to act instead of just standing around in life waiting for stuff to come your way; It fits the conflict I chose because it talks about stepping up and seizing the moment. (Glory) Move-Thousand Foot Krutch

12. Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,I have nobody for my own.I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,wish I had someone to call on the phone.I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,Away from home through no wish of my own.That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,I wish that I could go back home.Letters, never a letter,I get no letters in the mail.I've been forgotten, yeah, forgotten,Oh how I wonder how is it I failed.I'm a soldier, a lonely soldier,Away from home through no wish of my own.That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,I wish that I could go back home.

13. Hello my friend, we meet againIt's been awhile, where should we begin?Feels like foreverWithin my heart are memoriesOf perfect love that you gave to meOh, I remember When you are with me, I'm freeI'm careless, I believeAbove all the others we'll flyThis brings tears to my eyesMy sacrificeWe've seen our share of ups and downsOh how quickly life can turn The theme this song represents is sacrifice; It came from Last of the Mohicans. The meaning of this song is: sometimes you have to give up something that you hold dear; It fits the theme I chose because it talks about making sacrifices. (Last of the Mohicans) My Sacrifice-Creed
