| Sunset Rubdown – They Took a Vote and Said No Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| This song seems political to me. I might just be taking the lyrics too literally, but certain line make the song seem like a "call to arms" against the political establishment. "They took his ears, They took his eyes" To me it seems that he is talking about how the government is blinding us through indoctrination. "They said a ride is never free, He couldn’t hear, He couldn’t see. Well there are things That have to die So other things Can stay alive." I interpreted this as a snipe of the conservative philosophy, "no one gets a free ride regardless of their circumstances". "The other men spoke low; They took a vote and said no. They turned around real slow, Where did they go? Where did they go?" The other men are the people who have power and choose to do nothing rather than do good for society. Well, thats my take on it, but I doubt thats what Spencer had in mind when he wrote the song. | |
