Curve – Alligators Getting Up Lyrics 19 years ago
Well, The explanation isn't in the line itself, but throughout the song. In the first verse the suggested topic is that anything this person does is purely instinctual, not being derived of thought or reflection.

The second verse describes the same thing but in a different way. Rather then attacking on an intellectual standpoint, they further the idea of selfish-ness, only caring for ones self.

Keeping an alligator from getting up takes constant supervision, and cunning.
