I've always thought this song seemed, if not exactly political, a commentary on the American way of life. |

I like how pretty much none of the comments on this song are ABOUT this song. Thanks.
So what do you all make of the line: "rode into the sun"? In Color Bars just two songs earlier on Figure 8, he says "everyone wants me to ride into the sun, but I ain't gonna go." |

haha yeah, the first time i heard this song i thought he was saying "a brand new orange juice stand," and my friend thought he said "a brand new orange is dead." now that I see the lyrics though, i get the whole orange county bit. |

"I bet to them, your name is "Cheap", I bet to them you look like sh--"
he doesn't actually SAY shit there in the song. does anybody else feel the urge to say "sheep" because it rhymes with cheap? Sheep would actually make sense as well; people who go with the flow, follow the trends, do what everyone else does can be called "sheep." I'm wondering if maybe he just said "sh--" so it could go either way.
If so.... p!atd is too freaking clever for its own good. |

I would agree with the previous comment and add that they're also to some extent calling the musicians themselves on cultivating those attitudes. Most of the first verse ("selling faux sermons" "if you're going to preach then for god sakes preach with conviction") seems more directed at the performer than the audience. When he says "we are graced by two displays of character" he's differentiating between two groups: bands and audiences. The bands are singing about their bleeding hearts and their fans are going home and complaining in their blogs about how they slit their wrists at night, and Ryan sees that they're all bullshit. Fantastic song. |
