"Why Me" was recorded by Kristofferson in 1972, and features backing vocals by soon-to-be wife Rita Coolidge and up-and-coming singer-songwriter Larry Gatlin. It was included on the album, Jesus Was a Capricorn and, in 1973, the song became the biggest hit of his career.
According to country music historian Bill Malone, Kristofferson wrote the song during an emotionally low period of his life after having attended a religious service conducted by the Rev. Jimmie Rogers Snow. Malone wrote, "'Why Me, Lord'" - as the song is sometimes known - "may seem greatly out of character for Kristofferson, but it can be interpreted as his own personal religious rephrasing of 'Sunday Morning Coming Down.' In this case, he is 'coming down' not from drugs, but from the whole hedonistic euphoria of the (1960s)." Malone also described Kristofferson's gruff vocal styling as "perfect" for the song, since "he sounds like a man who has lived a lot but is now humbling himself before God."
The song entered and peaked at #4 on Swedish Trackslistan on 24 February 2007 and charted for six weeks. The song peaked at #1 on the Swedish singles chart on 22 February 2007.
"Tokyo" is a song by Englishindierock bandAthlete and is the third track on their 2007 albumBeyond the Neighbourhood. The song was released as the second single from that album on November 19, 2007 (see 2007 in British music). The song charted at #198 making it Athlete's lowest charting single to date, partly due to a lack of promotion, and partly due to UK Chart guidelines discounting sales of the EP version (thus only sales of the 7" were counted).
"Tokyo" is a single by The Adicts, released under the name ADX, produced by the band with ex-Vapors frontman David Fenton. It was the first of two singles by the band released on Sire Records. A remixed version of the song later appeared on the band's next album Smart Alex.
Classic video from Tony Carey's Planet P Project debut album. Still a VH1 favorite.

All that I've been given It's this pain that I be living (The remix, the remix) They got me in the system Why they gotta do me like that? Why is garbage music selling a lot? Why is the music industry state of mind real far from hip hop? Why vote republican if you black? Why build more jails, less schools 'cuz we under attack? Why I keep the four pound in the air? The revolution will not be televised get from around here Why I keep my right fist in the sky? I let them know that we gonna make it, don't plan our demise Why you gotta teach your kids on your own? 'Cuz when you get in the zone They bringing you in, you both getting cloned Why we still gotta pray to Allah? It's hip hop, this the 'New World Order' And they playin' us hard Why rappers getting protection? Why the country ain't flipped When they jerked the votes the last election? Why die for all my beliefs? I gotta look at my kids I rather smile Then cry when he's sleep, that's why Why, why they got me strugglin'? Why? All the brothas locked behind bars Drained up in the system going crazy I'm battling my pistol going, why? Why do niggas say I changed for a girl? Why you worried 'bout my clothes? If my flow gon' change the world? Why you wait till you 30 to try to be hard? Why I gotta have religion if I believe in God? Why is Bush acting like he trying to get Osama? Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama? Why ain't Rick James remembered for classic hits? Why do we remember Rick for smackin' a bitch? Why did Ricky Williams retire? They mad at Miami Why did Justin sell Janet out and go to the Grammy's? Why you kill on every song, why you frown at the screen? It's so many thrones, why we argue who is the King? Why it's over for the gangsta, why it's over for bling? Why they hype Britney up, they know she can't sing? Why a whip and a chain a black American dream? Why I know it in my heart it remains unseen? Why? Why, why they got me strugglin'? Why? All the brothas locked behind bars Drained up in the system going crazy I'm battling my pistol going, why? Registered voter not blood of a panther Why is the question what is the answer? Got a suggestion, here's an example Won't we build our own airline, states, and highways? Fly to Africa, do some trades with Zimbabwe Why did Malcolm's mission die with the man? Why we ain't pick it up where he left it and carry out his plan? Why the merger try to exclude L.A. Reid? He brought you Usher, Outkast top-selling CD's Why do half America got AIDS? Why do schools care about your son's braids More than they care for his grades? Why they hate our white t-shirts and hats turned backwards? And why is Jesus Christ never played by black actors? And why there ain't a MC that can touch me nor budge me? And why is Nas the best thing in rap since Chuck D? And why this record ain't sell 5 mill yet? Jada's as real as it get Put my money where my mouth is We do something 'bout this Why, why they got me strugglin'? Why? All the brothas locked behind bars Drained up in the system going crazy I'm battling my pistol going, why? Yo by thugs, I'm surrounded Tell me why is it the money motivates me? But the love keeps me grounded? Why my cases ain't get thrown out? And why team USA keep getting blown out? Why the Democratic party ain't getting with me? Why they still hanging black bodies in Mississippi? Yea, why did governor McGrevey get caught with a lizard? Why they take away Shyne's phone calls and visits? Why I been hot for 7 years? Why the new M5 come with 7 gears? Please tell me why y'all keep making that trash? Why they reinstating the draft, why is it so much hating you have? And why sell records and keep working? Why we go on stage with the bread with the feet working? Shit Li's real, why when I loved on die you miss them? Why it took for me to make 'Why' for y'all to listen? Why, why they got me strugglin'? Why? All the brothas locked behind bars Drained up in the system going crazy
