Bangin' this bolo tight on this solo flight Can't fight alone: bolo-a large, heavy, single-edged knife or machete for hacking, used in the Philippines and by the U.S. Army. He is wielding a machete, fighting Funk tha track my verbs fly like tha Family stone: i don't know what 'tha track' refers too but fly like the family stone refers to a funk band from the 70s i think. so i think he is just bragging about his vocal talent, idk what do u think? Tha pen devils set that stage for tha War at home: i think this refers to a government oppression to the point that the population will eventually rebel.(communism) Locked wit out a wage ya standin' in tha drop Zone: in a communism you earn no wage and with rebellion there is fighting in the streets. The clockers born startin' at an empty plate: clockers- ppl who time races. with communism the wealth is shared. people are starved to feed others. sometimes even the people who are growing the food starve to death because its shipped away. idk thats all i can come up with this line confuses me (starting at an empty plate?) Momma's torn hands cover her sunken face We hungry but them belly full: Government performs atrocities and people are hungry for revenge or justice or whatever u want to call it. The structure is set ya neva change it with a Ballot pull: it doesn't matter who you vote for because all the politicians on the ballot with the possibility to win are all corrupt. all you can do is pick the lesser of two evils. In tha ruins there's a network for tha toxic Rock: in the ruins of a country there's mass crime usually drug cartels Shool yard ta precinct, suburb ta Project block: in a communism the economy is shit so there are a lot of slums Bosses broke south for new flesh and A factory floor: In a communism areas are divided up to be controlled by individuals (czars), usually assigned by industry. The remains left chained to the Powder war: remains of a country will be left to live in oppression until rebellion if it is even possible. Can't waste a day when the night brings A hearse: cant waist a day that we have the opportunity to vote in people who will keep the American constitution intact and our rights as citizens before it turns to night where we lose our rights and the government abuses its power. So make a move an plead the fifth 'cuse ya Can't plead the first: in a communism there is no freedom of speech. there is no freedom at all. Can't waste a day when the night brings A hearse So now I'm rollin' down rodeo wit a Shot gun these people ain't seen a Brown skin man since their grandparents bought One: in communism anything goes especially slavery... in fact the whole thing is mass slavery. Bare witness to tha sickest shot while suckas Get romantic: i think he is refereing to the sappy people who vote for agencies that are painted to look good and in reality are corrupt.(acorn, epa, ect.) They gonna send us campin' like they did my man Fred Hampton: government silencing rebellion Still we're lampin' still clockin' dirt for our Sweat: with communism you get nothing for your work A ballots dead so bullets what I get: when democracy dies you do what your told or get a bullet. A thousand years you had the tools We should be taken 'em no idea. this is where i quit but that what i think of so far. feel free to disagree |

| Cage the Elephant – Ain't No Rest For The Wicked Lyrics | 16 years ago |

I think they have potential. they kinda remind me of system when they were starting with the exception of the singer. little more mellow, not in a bad way. great lyrics, original and creative and somewhat poetic, and the band seems to flow together in sync well. good composition with the guitars and large emphasis on the back beat. Kinda reminds me of Beck "loser" except the guitars and vocals seem to meld better with the beat. System was a bit more balls to the wall though, and their songs gave a message without saying it out strait. Tip for Cage the Elephant if they want to stick around for a while: It helps generally in music to not actually say anything that makes sense word for word. It seems better to send your message through the emotion the music gives you, and have your lyrics give only a general idea, but at the same time make the idea flexible. It's better to have your personal views influence your music and not have your music inflict upon your audience's personal views so they can interpret it freely for themselves.It's hard to say what I'm getting at, but so far (imo) Cage the Elephant is on track to a good music career. I liked this song because it gives 3 truths of life. 1) that people can be wicked when they are in desperate situations (bills to pay). 2) people can do wicked things out of selflessness (mouths to feed). 3) People can also be wicked for the sake of being wicked (we all have to satisfy those thrills) in the end i think this song is saying "everyone has their reasons" good or bad. cool thing is they never give any indication if these reasons justify the wicked. that is for us as human beings to decide based on our beliefs. |

| if your saying that bush went in to iraq for oil you are implying he has some reason for going into war atall. Bush is not smart enough to have a good reason. he is just a puppet. | |
