They Might Be Giants
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I could never sleep my way to the top
2
'Cause my alarm clock always wakes me right up
3
And since my options had been whittled away
4
I struck a bargain with my radio DJ
5
I said I'd like this song to be number one
6
He said "I'd really really like to help you my son"
7
And then I knew that I would have him to thank
8
Because he asked me how much I had in the bank
9
He said to think long term investment and
10
That all the others had forgiven themselves
11
He said the net reward would justify
12
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives
13
He said the record wouldn't have to be hot
14
And no one ever seemed to care if it's not
15
It would depend on something else that I've got
16
And that the other ones who'd given it a shot
17
Had seen a modest sum grow geometrically
18
And then they had forgiven themselves
19
Because the net reward had justified
20
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives*
21
Hey Mr. DJ, I thought you said we had a deal
22
I thought you said, "You scratch my back and I'll scratch your record"
23
And I thought you said we had a deal
24
Well, I told you about the world (its address)
25
I wonder when they're gonna clean up the mess
26
You know the rabid child is still tuning in
27
Chess piece face's patience must be wearing thin
28
Because they haven't played this song on the air
29
Not that anyone but me even cared
30
And the Disk Jockey has moved out of town
31
The district courthouse says he's nowhere to be found
32
He said to think long term investment and
33
That all the others had forgiven themselves
34
He said the net reward would justify
35
The colossal mess they'd made of their lives
36
Hey Mr. DJ, I thought you said we had a deal
37
I thought you said, "You scratch my back and I'll scratch your record"
38
And I thought you said we had a deal
