| Tom Waits – Hoist That Rag Lyrics
| 21 years ago

My take on this song is that it's Tom's assessment of pro-America jingoism... "You know what to do if the baby cries/Hoist that rag" seems to sum it up. As long as we're waving old glory, everything will be okay. ...I don't think Tom is exactly subscribing to this school of thought. |

pretty basic i'm guessing. either he talking to a friend or loved one or he's just commenting on people who become enthralled in a scene that is only harmful to them in the end. "inhaling thrills through 20 dollar bills" compares the party scene to a quick cocaine fix... "i know that it's not a party when it happens every night" further supports this... at the end when he's talking about getting a drink in this place, he's talking about the waste of time it is looking for substance in a superficial scene...
just a guess. |
