What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
They were digging a new foudation in Manhattan
2
And they discovered a slave cemetary there
3
May their souls rest easy
4
Now that lynching is frowned upon
5
And we've moved on to the electric chair
6
And I wonder who's gonna be president, tweedle dum or tweedle dummer?
7
And who's gonna have the big blockbuster box office this summer?
8
How about we put up a wall between houses and the highway
9
And you can go your way, and I can go my may
10
Except all the radios agree with all the tvs
11
And all the magazines agree with all the radios
12
And I keep hearing that same damn song everywhere I go
13
Maybe I should put a bucket over my head
14
And a marshmallow in each ear
15
And stumble around for
16
Another dumb-numb waiting for another hit song to appear
17
People used to make records
18
As in a record of an event
19
The event of people playing music in a room
20
Now everything is cross-marketing
21
Its about sunglasses and shoes
22
Or guns and drugs
23
You choose
24
We got it rehashed
25
We got it half-assed
26
We're digging up all the graves
27
And we're spitting on the past
28
And you can choose between the colors
29
Of the lipstick on the whores
30
Cause we know the difference between
31
The font of 20% more
32
And the font of teriakiyi
33
You tell me
34
How does it... Make you feel?
35
You tell me
36
What's... Real?
37
And they say that alcoholics are always alcoholics
38
Even when they're as dry as my lips for years
39
Even when they're stranded on a small desert island
40
With no place within 2, 000 miles to buy beer
41
And I wonder
42
Is he different?
43
Is he different?
44
Has he changed? What's he about?..
45
Or is he just a liar with nothing to lie about?
46
Am I headed for the same brick wall
47
Is there anything I can do about
48
Anything at all?
49
Except go back to that corner in Manhattan
50
And dig deeper, dig deeper this time
51
Down beneath the impossible pain of our history
52
Beneath unknown bones
53
Beneath the bedrock of the mystery
54
Beneath the sewage systems and the path train
55
Beneath the cobblestones and the water mains
56
Beneath the traffic of friendships and street deals
57
Beneath the screeching of kamikaze cab wheels
58
Beneath everything I can think of to think about
59
Beneath it all, beneath all get out
60
Beneath the good and the kind and the stupid and the cruel
61
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
62
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
63
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
64
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
65
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
66
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
67
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
68
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
69
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
70
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
71
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
72
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
73
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
74
There's a fire just waiting for fuel
