What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I remember a funny man who used to make us laugh
2
But the proof of his truth, they cut his life in half
3
A caustic wit that cut a bit, opinions were too strong
4
He must have rubbed somebody wrong
5
Cause he's long time gone
6
I remember a crucial man, played strat' with his left hand
7
Tunes he chose of "Gold and Roe" and "Castles Made of Sand"
8
Social ills, hi conscience willed a different type of song
9
Sang about "lead", click, bang! He's dead, he's long time gone
10
I remember an ebony prince who taught his brothers pride
11
Said the black man's loss, just another cross on which another prophet has died
12
Some people wanted them leaderless, a race of hungry pawns
13
Their solution to his revolution: To make him long time gone
14
Though some will object when you suspect
15
That they cause to affect the cause and effect
16
When you reflect on lives that were checked
17
Still in retrospect the truth was neglected
18
Though some will protect the order they pecked
19
For failing to suspect the cleansing effect
20
Till you they reject with a Haitian insect
21
With AIDS they infect by a bite on the neck
22
Like the Nazi correct, kill and dissect
23
"The inferior Sect", their race to protect
24
I remember a gentleman who took his cause o far
25
Said not to be afraid but to parade and be just what you are
26
Defied the name of guilt and shame, he proved his skeptics wrong
27
Must have said something wrong, 'cause now he's long time gone
Don McLean - American Pie (Lyric Video)
