What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Pushing through the market square, so many mothers sighing
2
News had just come over, we had five years left to cry in
3
News guy wept and told us, earth was really dying
4
Cried so much his face was wet, then I knew he was not lying
5
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
6
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and TV's
7
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
8
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
9
And all the fat, skinny people, and all the tall, short people
10
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
11
Never thought I'd need so many people
12
A girl my age went off her head, hit some tiny children
13
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off, I think she would have killed them
14
A soldier with a broken arm, fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
15
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest
16
And the queer threw up at the sight of that
17
I think I saw you in an ice cream parlor
18
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
19
Smiling and waving and looking so fine
20
Don't think you knew you were in this song
21
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
22
And I thought of ma and I wanted to get back there
23
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
24
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
25
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
26
Five years, what a surprise
27
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
28
Five years, that's all we've got
29
We've got five years, what a surprise
30
Five years, stuck on my eyes
31
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
32
Five years, that's all we've got
33
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
34
Five years, what a surprise
35
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
36
Five years, that's all we've got
37
We've got five years, what a surprise
38
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
39
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
40
Five years, that's all we've got
