What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I'm siphoning gas from the high school bus
2
Into the tank of my beat-up bug
3
So I can drive away from the shouting and misery
4
I drive into the night, to the hill to the water tower
5
To lie on my back and drink in the meteor shower
6
Knowing that many men have lain as I do now
7
Ptolemy, Copernicus, Carl Jung
8
Pondering his existence, pondering
9
Is God with me now?
10
And I look to the sky
11
And I ask these questions
12
Yes, I feel something I don't understand
13
Can somebody say Amen?
14
My life is but a short and precious seed
15
Like three seasons of life in a leaf on a tree
16
And when I cascade to the ground I will not be done
17
I will mingle with the earth and give life
18
To the roots again
19
Can somebody say Amen?
20
And I look to the sky
21
And I ask these questions
22
Yes, I feel something I don't understand
23
Can somebody say Amen?
24
Amen for the drivers in their garbage trucks
25
Amen for our mothers, for the lust to f**k
26
Amen for the child with innocent eyes
27
Amen for Kevorkian and the right to die
28
Amen for nasa, the nsa
29
It's all a front anyway
30
Amen for Marilyn Manson, Saddam Hussein
31
Amen for America and the Milky Way
32
Amen for Elvis, for Betty Page
33
Amen for Gloria Steinem and Ronald Reagan
34
Ame for O. J., Clinton too
35
Amen for the Republican witch hunt coup
36
Amen for Gandhi, for Malcolm X
37
Amen for the uprising of the weaker s**
38
Amen for Babylon, the third world's call
39
Amen for the unity of us all
40
Amen, amen, amen
41
And I am not unique
42
We are all leaves on this great big tree
43
This tree that is life, that is God, that is you, that is me
44
And I lie under my tree like the Buddhas before and after me
45
And I ask the stars, "What for?"
46
Yes, I feel something I can't explain
47
A light that flickers off and on again
48
And I look to the sky
49
And I ask these questions
50
Yes, I feel something I don't understand
51
Oh, can somebody say Amen?
