| Scissors For Lefty – Lay Down Your Weapons Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
To me it sounds like the singer has just gotten out of prison and decides to go to Hawaii to relax. He buys a steak knife when he gets out (for what purpose I can't say) and gets caught with it at the airport. Instead of pleasantly asking him why he has it the cops make threats and try to arrest him. I think the song is about how ridiculous our national security has gotten that we basically assume someone is guilty for actions that could simply be a mistake. It's this type of law enforcement that angers and frustrates people in the first place. We could all benefit from a little more polite discourse. We can't all agree, but we needn't be disagreeable about it. |

I was at a concert of theirs in SF in which he said that Blake was a graduate student at Standford. Since they were all Columbia students it would make sense that a former classmate went on to Stanford for his MS or PHD. |
