Also, the lyrics "Ooh John Brown, where you gonna go to now?" seems to be saying, will he go to Heaven or Hell?

| Papercuts – John Brown Lyrics

"But oh John Brown
If you go downtown now
Just be sure
It's the will of the lord"
I love this stanza. Many people do not regard John Brown as a martyr for his cause, but a radical and a murderer. John Brown believed, however, that God's purpose for him was to save the African Americans. This stanza is saying, if you go down that road, if you kill, you damn well better know that it really is the will of the lord. This song really fits in with the arguments about "just wars". |

| Beirut – Elephant Gun Lyrics

To me - this song is about the Holocaust.
It's all symbolism.
Hitler is the big king.
Elephant guns are for big game, but in this case, they are meant for the big enemy.
Everyone drinks to their death.
"All that is left is all that I hide." - Beautiful quote. |

"What do you think about me now, that I’ve fallen down?"
It's so sad when people are disapointed in who you really are. |
