@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Don't tell me that you say you care
while you're fucking sacrificing nothing.
Don't even mention the word oppression
while you're driving Daddy's Jaguar.
Our prosperity is their death.
Pat us on the back, third world wallets gone.
There's blood on our hands,
it's your choice if you want to see it or not.
It could change. It comes down to you. Oppression is in your pocket.
It's all personal, it's not enough to cry.
This time you can start by cooking your flag.
You can stop doing what you're told.
Don't believe what you see on TV.
CNN reporters, they're all ex-generals.
Democracy, big fucking joke. It's just one big capitalist enterprise.
Smaller countries, they have no hope.
USA crushes self-government.
It's your choice, you could help to limit your contribution by restraint.
It could change. It comes down to you. Oppression is in your pocket.
It's all personal, its not enough to cry.
This time... you can start by leaving the line.
You can stop doing what you're told,
because today freedom is bought and sold. Bought & Sold.
while you're fucking sacrificing nothing.
Don't even mention the word oppression
while you're driving Daddy's Jaguar.
Our prosperity is their death.
Pat us on the back, third world wallets gone.
There's blood on our hands,
it's your choice if you want to see it or not.
It could change. It comes down to you. Oppression is in your pocket.
It's all personal, it's not enough to cry.
This time you can start by cooking your flag.
You can stop doing what you're told.
Don't believe what you see on TV.
CNN reporters, they're all ex-generals.
Democracy, big fucking joke. It's just one big capitalist enterprise.
Smaller countries, they have no hope.
USA crushes self-government.
It's your choice, you could help to limit your contribution by restraint.
It could change. It comes down to you. Oppression is in your pocket.
It's all personal, its not enough to cry.
This time... you can start by leaving the line.
You can stop doing what you're told,
because today freedom is bought and sold. Bought & Sold.

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
