| Our Lady Peace – Hello Oskar Lyrics | 20 years ago |

There's nothing wrong, he's a superstar A taximan and a young Eisenstein Was never cool he'll never settle down He's not allowed to drive He'll build a bridge then walk around Leave that boy alone He's not that bright He's not uptight And he's just not him Not himself --- That sure sounds like a description of schizophrenia to me, Gary. |

lps41, it looks like you just got thoroughly *owned* by scorpionsting15. Thank you scorpionsting for clearing that up for anyone who was taken in by his incorrect interpretation. As for you, lps: posting your own personal interpretations of song lyrics here is what this site is all about. What it is not about, however, is insulting fellow users and claiming your own opinions to be truth when you in fact have no idea what the hell you're talking about. |

"Like Baldwin home from Paris" James Baldwin was a black American playwright and author who was born in Harlem, New York and first published in the 1940's. He eventually became so disgusted with American racial issues that he moved to Paris for ten years. Moving back to the United States in 1960, he immediately became very active in the civil rights movement. Some of his works include Go Tell it On the Mountain and the play Blues for Mr. Charlie. "Born of Zapata's guns" Emiliano Zapata was the military and ideological leader of the Mexican Revolution of 1909. The goal of the Indian movement which he led was to take the land from the hacienda-based landowners and return it to the peasant farmers from whom it had been stolen. His motto was "tierra y libertad," "land and freedom," and his ideals, actions, and goals are echoed by today's Zapatista movement. "Widow pig parrot" Maureen Faulkner is the widow of the Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. She has campaigned incessantly for the execution of Mumia Abu Jamal and is aligned entirely with the Fraternal Order of Police in Philadelphia and acts as a spokeswoman for them in regards to the Jamal case. "A whitehooded judge" The uniform of the racist Ku Klux Klan organization is historically and currently a tall, white hood and white robe, designed to hide the identity of the Klansmen. "A country's soul that reads 'post no bills'" "Post No Bills" is a phrase spray-painted onto walls in urban areas everywhere to discourage any pasting of banners, posters, and the like. These handbills may be advertisements or the like, but are often political in nature. |
