This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
How come you don't hold me no more?
How come you don't hold me no more?
I'm still the same fool that I was before...
But now I'm a fool who's not held anymore
How come you don't walk with me no more?
How come you don't walk with me no more?
They're the same old streets as before...
Is this the way it will be forevermore?
What do you see... differently?
Oh sweet mercy... I don't understand it
I don't understand it, try as hard as I might
I don't understand you...
How come you don't sing for me no more?
How come you don't sing for me no more?
Those funny, happy songs of before
That had everybody dancing in the hall
How come you don't hold me no more?
How come you don't hold me no more?
You look like you've never seen me before
Is this the way it will be forevermore?
What can I say... to stem the decay?
Or even just to hear my name... I don't understand it
I don't understand it, try as hard as I might
I don't understand you...
How come you don't hold me no more? (x4)
How come you don't hold me no more? (x4)
How come you don't hold me no more?
I'm still the same fool that I was before...
But now I'm a fool who's not held anymore
How come you don't walk with me no more?
How come you don't walk with me no more?
They're the same old streets as before...
Is this the way it will be forevermore?
What do you see... differently?
Oh sweet mercy... I don't understand it
I don't understand it, try as hard as I might
I don't understand you...
How come you don't sing for me no more?
How come you don't sing for me no more?
Those funny, happy songs of before
That had everybody dancing in the hall
How come you don't hold me no more?
How come you don't hold me no more?
You look like you've never seen me before
Is this the way it will be forevermore?
What can I say... to stem the decay?
Or even just to hear my name... I don't understand it
I don't understand it, try as hard as I might
I don't understand you...
How come you don't hold me no more? (x4)
How come you don't hold me no more? (x4)

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

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.
