This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
There's a party down on the corner, do you want to go?
They got rhythm, a little blues, and a whole lot of soul
I don't care what you've got to say
You're comin' with me anyway
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
I know it's hard makin' a living every day
And I know how hard you've been workin'
But now it's time to play
Tell that wolf waitin' at your door
He'll just have to wait some more
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
Some say the world is ending
It might just come to pass
Ain't no use in pretending
Tonight could be the last
Tell the mailman to hold the mail
Get ready to wag your tail
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
Some say the world is ending
Who knows if it's true?
Ain't no use in pretending
There's not much we can do
Leave a message for those who call
We're out havin' us a ball
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
They got rhythm, a little blues, and a whole lot of soul
I don't care what you've got to say
You're comin' with me anyway
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
I know it's hard makin' a living every day
And I know how hard you've been workin'
But now it's time to play
Tell that wolf waitin' at your door
He'll just have to wait some more
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
Some say the world is ending
It might just come to pass
Ain't no use in pretending
Tonight could be the last
Tell the mailman to hold the mail
Get ready to wag your tail
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
Some say the world is ending
Who knows if it's true?
Ain't no use in pretending
There's not much we can do
Leave a message for those who call
We're out havin' us a ball
We're not here for a long time
We're here for a good time
