What Is Your "Mantra" in Song?

I have two songs that epitimize me and my general thoughts of the world.

They are:
I Just Wanna Get Along by The Breeders
We were rich once
Before your head exploded
Imagine doing just what the Big Bang did

The whole world
Knew it was loaded
Wave bye-bye 'cause it ain't ever coming down now


I just wanna get along
I just wanna get along
I just wanna get along

I look up
The heads fly over
I see a boy I know: his hair's on fire

The whole world i discovered
If you're so special why aren't you dead

I just wanna get along (This is my mantra from this song.)
I just wanna get along
I just wanna get along

Wave bye-bye 'cause it ain't never coming down

I just wanna get along
I just wanna get along
I just wanna get along


Jesus Freak by DC Talk
[what will people think
When they hear that i'm a jesus freak?
What will people do
When they find that's it's true?]

Separated, i cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force
And a grace that replaced all the me i've divorced

I saw a man with tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said
Cause i had to match the rhythm
Of his belly with my head
'jesus saves' is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city
And claimed he had a dream

(chorus)
What will people think
When they hear that i'm a jesus freak
What will people do when they find that it's true
I don't really care if they label me a jesus freak
There ain't no disguising the truth

Kamikaze, my death is gain
I've been marked by my maker
A peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak
Cause i won't live and die for the power they seek

There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The pharisees tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this jesus freak

(repeat chorus 2x)

People say i'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger
People say i'm strange, does it make me a stranger
That my best friend was born in a manger

(repeat chorus 2x)

What will people think
[what will people think]
What will people do
[what will people do]
I don't really care
[what else can i say]
There ain't no disguising the truth
[jesus is the way]


So. What are yours?

My mantra is 'Can't Explain' by the Who.

'Dizzy in the head,
I'm feeling bad.
Things you say,
got me real mad

I'm getting funny dreams
Again and again,
Know what I mean,
But I can't explain'
