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.
You can see it in his face, he's got far too much to say
I guess that's a good enough reason for you to turn away
Well sometimes his tiny flaws can be fatal
Will you ever make room at your table?
Now he comes on like some extra from The Night of the Living Dead
He says his arm fell off and so did his nose and now he don't feel sexy
But wouldn't it be great if we could celebrate a miracle
Will you ever make room at your table?
Too many hours spent playing computer solitaire
Too many nights spent watching Taxi Driver
Better to be laughed with than to be laughed at
Funny how many times my mother told me that
But now that he lost the war will you let him win a battle?
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
I don't want throwaway people or special effects
I don't want bells and whistles, I don't want your regrets
I don't want clever conversation, just give me hope
And I don't wanna hang at the end of your rope
I know you're gonna turn your back on me and walk away
I know that there's nothing I can do to make you stay
Yeah but I'm ready, I'm willing, I'm able
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
I guess that's a good enough reason for you to turn away
Well sometimes his tiny flaws can be fatal
Will you ever make room at your table?
Now he comes on like some extra from The Night of the Living Dead
He says his arm fell off and so did his nose and now he don't feel sexy
But wouldn't it be great if we could celebrate a miracle
Will you ever make room at your table?
Too many hours spent playing computer solitaire
Too many nights spent watching Taxi Driver
Better to be laughed with than to be laughed at
Funny how many times my mother told me that
But now that he lost the war will you let him win a battle?
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
I don't want throwaway people or special effects
I don't want bells and whistles, I don't want your regrets
I don't want clever conversation, just give me hope
And I don't wanna hang at the end of your rope
I know you're gonna turn your back on me and walk away
I know that there's nothing I can do to make you stay
Yeah but I'm ready, I'm willing, I'm able
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
Will you ever make room at your table?
