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.

Is about to come to life
Homeless hordes crash downtown barriers
Desks are flying through the glass
Precious software everywhere
Sorcerer’s apprentice has returned
Tried to kill them off with crack
Never quite prepared
For when untouchables touch back
New Rome is falling, let’s dance
The pets
The pets
The pets
Pets eat their master
The pets
The pets
The pets
Pets eat their master
Desperate hungry cannibals
Barbeque executives
Slowly on rotisseries in the street
“3 strikes you’re out” Prisoners
Bustin’ loose, headin’ for the burbs
With wicker men
For upper crust dessert
Everything that grows is gone
Freeways jammed
Sewers all clogged
One by one
Toilets blow to smithereens
Doctors by the meat machine
Say, “You’re no good for Soylent Green
But prime for a McDonalds happy meal”
When The pets
The pets
The pets
Pets eat their master
Pets
The pets
The pets
Pets eat their master
Sewage blows
From barges back to shore
Hissing germs
Shellac the beachfront homes
Confused fundamentalists
Look up, “Is this the rapture?”
President peers out and says
“Have you got some grey poupon?”

Holiday

@[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.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
