The last two lines of this stanza insinuate that Nikki has come to an impasse and does not know what to next with his life, which is possibly why he turned to drugs. The last two lines state, "No regrets, you've got no goals/Nothing more to learn" (Queensryche). These concluding lines indicate that Nikki is waiting for some sort of direction, regardless of whether it is good or bad, simply to not be a slave to the drug.
The third stanza offers Nikki a solution for his dilemma and proposes that the doctor will give his life purpose, which ironically, is the price Nikki will have to pay in order to get what he wants, heroin. The third stanza states, "Now I know you won't refuse/Because we've got so much to do/and you've got nothing more to lose/So take this number and welcome to//Operation: Mindcrime" (Queensryche). Through this attitude, the doctor insinuates that if an individual is not part of one system, he is part of another. Furthermore, the doctor implies that people are often forced to comply with certain goals and aspirations because they have no other choices. As the doctor proceeds to explain Operation: Mindcrime, it becomes evident that the price to pay for heroin is equally dangerous to the drug. In the chorus, the doctor explains, "Operation: Mindcrime/We're an underground revolution/Working overtime/Operation: Mindcrime/There's a job for you in/the system boy, with nothing to sign" (Queensryche). Paradoxically, joining the doctor's revolution strips Nikki of the remaining shreds of self-control. Not only is he a slave to his addiction, but now he has to pay the price and join Operation: Mindcrime.
Paradoxically, Nikki knows exactly what he must give up in order to obtain "the cure" from the "doctor" and thus cannot claim that he was forced into obeying the doctor. The fourth stanza explains what Nikki is expected to do in exchange for heroin from the doctor; "Hey Nikki, you know everything/That there is to do/Here's a gun. Take...

Children (most times adolescents, although sometimes younger) left their families to seek their fortune in America. America became famous (and notorious to the pious) as the 'goldeneh medinah' 5 where it was literally believed that the streets were paved with gold (and where one lost one's religion). Russian emigration created the first massive influx of Jews to America. Once there, Jewish life as implicated in the lyrics took on
Popular Song Lyrics Poetry has its origin in performed song, but there is a profound difference between a poem written to be read and lyrics written to be sung. This is due to the power of music: it acts upon the feelings without articulating anything, and harnessed to lyrics music may seem to lend emotive force to whatever (if anything) is endorsed in the text. As a result, writing lyrics to

"When I was your Man" By Bruno Mars Gifted Grammy award-winning singer, Bruno Mars, in his "When I Was Your Man," has largely utilized sad and regretful lyrics portraying longing for the woman who left him.
