What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Pushing through the market square,
2
So many mothers sighing
3
News had just come over,
4
We had five years left to cry in
5
News guy wept and told us,
6
Earth was really dying
7
Cried so much his face was wet,
8
Then I knew he was not lying
9
I heard telephones, opera house, favorite melodies
10
I saw boys, toys, electric irons and T.V.'s
11
My brain hurt like a warehouse, it had no room to spare
12
I had to cram so many things to store everything in there
13
And all the fat-skinny people, and all the tall-short people
14
And all the nobody people, and all the somebody people
15
I never thought I'd need so many people
16
A girl my age went off her head,
17
Hit some tiny children
18
If the black hadn't a-pulled her off,
19
I think she would have killed them
20
A soldier with a broken arm,
21
Fixed his stare to the wheels of a Cadillac
22
A cop knelt and kissed the feet of a priest,
23
And a queer threw up at the sight of that
24
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlor,
25
Drinking milk shakes cold and long
26
Smiling and waving and looking so fine,
27
Don't think you knew you were in this song
28
And it was cold and it rained so I felt like an actor
29
And I thought of Ma and I wanted to get back there
30
Your face, your race, the way that you talk
31
I kiss you, you're beautiful, I want you to walk
32
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
33
Five years, what a surprise
34
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
35
Five years, that's all we've got
36
We've got five years, what a surprise
37
Five years, stuck on my eyes
38
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
39
Five years, that's all we've got
40
We've got five years, stuck on my eyes
41
Five years, what a surprise
42
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
43
Five years, that's all we've got
44
We've got five years, what a surprise
45
Five years, stuck on my eyes
46
We've got five years, my brain hurts a lot
47
Five years, that's all we've got
