I believe Michael Stipe specifically points where the song is headed at. "The bull and the bear" are not the visible powers of our world, but part global economics, and greatly enforced by the globalization progress. It's difficult, and quite frankly a bit boring, to explain what a bull and a bear market is - so enlighten yourself here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_market This furthers arguments made that this song was written about assemblyline workers, be it in a Export Processing Zone ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_processing_zone ) in the far east, or some other place in the world where jobstability and working conditions are found to be "poor" or fucked. |
