Ballad of Serenity

Written by Joss Whedon and performed by Sonny Rhodes, it is also known as the Theme to Firefly. Firefly was a woefully short-lived series on the Fox television station. It was a sci-fi western and the opening theme conveyed the main hero and protagonist of the show; a hardened war veteran named Malcolm "Mal" Reynolds. The song has been covered by a band called The Henry Kaiser Band and can be heard in the closing title music of Firefly's movie adaption, Serenity. The theme is also used as the chorus to filk band Escape Key in their Firefly tribute entitled Mal's Song.
Lyrics for The Ballad of Serenity.

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't coming back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me

There's no place I can be
Since I've found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me

girl yeaaah, hahahaha...whooooo, shit!
em(aight)
eminem guess what? I aint coming in yet...
Ill come in a minute
eminem ayo...this is my love song...it goes like this

eminem
Back when mark walhberg was marky mark
This is how we used to make the party start
We used to mix hen with bacardi dark
And when it, kicks in you can hardly talk
And by the, sixth gin youre gonna probably crawl
And youll be, sick then and youll probably barf
And my pre-diction is youre gonna probably fall
Either somewhere in the lobby or the hallway wall
And everythings spinning
Youre beginin to think women
Are swimming in pink linen again in the sink
Then in a couple of minutes that bottle of guiness is finished
You are now allowed to officially slap bitches
You have the right to remain violent and start wilin
Start a fight with the same guy that was smart eyin you
Get in your car, start it, and start drivin
Over the island and cause a 42 car pile-up
ems spaceman voiceearth calling, pilot to co-pilot
Look at the life on this planet, sir, no sign of it
All I can see is a bunch of smoke flyin
And Im so high that I might die if I go by it
Let me out of this place
Im outta place
Im in outer space
Ive just vanished without a trace
Im going to a pretty place now where the flowers grow
Ill be back in an hour or so

Chorus

eminem
cause every time I go to try to leave
Something keeps pullin on my sleeve
I dont wanna, but I gotta stay
These drugs really got ahold of me

cause every time I try to tell them no
They wont let me ever let them go
Im a sucka all I gotta say
These drugs really got ahold of me

eminem
In third grade, all I used to do
Was sniff glue through a tube and play rubix cube
17 years later Im as rude as jude
Scheming on the first chick with the hugest boobs
Ive got no game
And every face looks the same
Theyve got no name
So I dont need game to play
I just say whatever I want to whoever I want
Whenever I want, wherever I want, however I want
However, I do show some respect to few
As ecstacy got me standing next to you
Getting sentimental as fuck spillin guts to you
We just met
But I think Im in love with you
But youre on it too
So you tell me you love me too
Wake up in the morning like yo, what the fuck we do?
I gotta go bitch
You know I have stuff to do
cause if I get caught cheatin then Im stuck with you
But in the long run
These drugs are probably going to catch up sooner or later
But fuck it, Im on one
So lets enjoy
Let the x destroy your spinal cord
So its not a straight line no more
til we walk around looking like some wind-up dolls
Shits sticking out of our backs like a dinosaur
Shit, six hits wont even get me high no more
So bye for now
Im going to try to find some more

Chorus

eminem
Thats the sound of a bottle when its hollow
When you swallow it all wollow and drown in your sorrow
And tomorrow youre probably going to want to do it again
Whats a little spinal fluid between you and a friend? screw it
And whats a little bit of alcohol poisoning?
And whats a little fight?
Tomorrow youll be boys again
Its your life
Live it however you wanna
Marijuana is everywhere
Where was you brought up?
It dont matter as long as you get where youre going
cause none of the shit is going to mean shit where were going
They tell you to stop, but you just sit there ignoring
Even though you wake up feeling like shit every morning
But youre young
Youve got a lot of drugs to do
Girls to screw
Parties to crash
Sucks to be you
If I could take it all back now, I wouldnt
I would have did more shit that people said that I shouldnt
But Im all grown up now and upgraded and graduated
Did better drugs and updated
But Ive still got a lot of growing up to do
Ive still got a whole lot of throwing up to spew
But when its all said and done Ill be 40
Before I know it with a 40 on the porch telling stories
With a bottle of jack
Two grandkids in my lap
Babysiting for haley while haleys out getting smashed

Chorus 2x (same as previous, but 2nd time
The last line is repeated like this)

Drugs really got ahold of me
They really got ahold of me
cause drugs really got ahold of me
They really got ahold of me
hardpartyer: dude i got a 40 of rye, a quatch of dank ass weed, some caps and a ball of yayo time to bump drug ballad i always bump that shit before i go out and get wrecked
