‘‘American Idiot’’ and ‘‘Holiday’’ by Green Day.

''[Overcome](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XzJYjZ6Cio) ‘’ by Live.

- 

these women in the street pullin’ out their hair my master’s  
in the yard givin’ light to the unaware this plastic little place  
is just a step amongst the stairs\*

\<snip\>

\*So drive me out,  
Out to that old burnt field  
Turn the ignition off  
And spin around  
Your help is here  
But I’m parked in this old, burnt space  
Blocking the gates of love

\<snip\>

I am overcome  
I am overcome  
Holy water in my lungs  
I am overcome\*

It was not written for 9/11, but you sure as hell could have fooled me.
