I just hate stupid people.
They should have to wear signs that just say I'm stupid.
That way you wouldn't rely on them, would you?
You wouldn't ask them anything.
It would be like, "Excuse me, oops, never mind"
"I didn't see your sign."

It's like before my wife
And I moved from Texas to California our house was full
Of boxes and there was a you-Haul truck in our driveway.
My friend comes over and says, "Hey, You moving?"

"Nope."
"We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week.
Just to see how many boxes it takes."

"Here's your sign."
Why can't they get the picture?
Why don't they understand?
We're not dealing with the planet of apes,
We're talking about the modern man.
So you people with them itsy bitsy teensie weensie tiny minds
Here's your sign.
Here's your sign.

A couple of months ago I went fishing with a buddy of mine,
We pulled his boat into the dock,
I lifted up this big 'ol stringer of bass this idiot on the dock goes,
"Hey, y'all catch all them fish?"

Nope.
"Talked 'em into giving up."
"Here's your sign."
I was out in the front yard with my boy the other day and he was
Playing with his little friend,
And he hit his friend and I went up to him
And I said "Hey, (smacks his boy), we don't hit."
He looked up at me like, "Here's your sign, dad."

Why can't they get the picture?
Why don't they understand?
We're not dealing with the planet of apes,
We're talking about the modern man.
So you people with them itsy bitsy teensie weensie tiny minds
Here's your sign.
Here's your sign.

I was watching one of those animal shows on the Discovery Channel,
There was a guy
Inventing a shark bite suit.
There's only one way to test that.
"Alright Jimmy, you got that shark suit on,
It looks good
They want you to jump
Into this pool of sharks,
And you tell us if it hurts when they bite you."

"Well alright, hold my sign, I don't want to loose it"
Why can't they get the picture?
Why don't they understand?
We're not dealing with the planet of apes,
We're talking about the modern man.
So you people with them itsy bitsy teensie weensie tiny minds
Here's your sign.
Here's your sign.

Last time I was home I was driving around I had a flat tire,
I pulled my truck into one
Of these side-of-the-road gas stations,
The attendant walks out, looks
At my truck, looks at me, I swear to GOD he went,
"Tire go flat?"

I couldn't resist.
I said "Nope".
"No I was driving around
And those other three just swelled right up on me."

"Here's your sign."
Why can't they get the picture?
Why don't they understand?
We're not dealing with the planet of apes,
We're talking about the modern man.
So you people with them itsy bitsy teensie weensie tiny minds
People with them little bitty teenie weenie tiny monds
Here's your sign.

We were trying to sell our car about a year ago,
A guy come over to the house, drove the
Car around for about 45 minutes.
We get back to the house, he gets out
Of the car, reaches down
And grabs the exhaust pipe, then goes, "Damn that's hot!"

See
If he'd been wearing his sign, I could have stopped him.

Mountain Song
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."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
