| Cake – Friend Is A Four Letter Word Lyrics | 15 years ago |

I very much doubt it, stillwater. Like you, I was confused at first by "end" not having four letters, but it does work; you just have to realize the two lines are separate. First he says "friend" is a four-letter word, as in something vulgar; he doesn't have a specific one in mind. Then he says "end" is the only part he heard. They're two different points. By the way, anyone else wish Cake didn't "rhyme" words with themselves so much? |

This isn't about Trudeau -- he's just an example. Nor is it about Quebec, as that's just where the '01 Summit of the Americas happened to be held. A huge anti-globalization protest took place there, with activities both legal and illegal; as I understand it, police responded to both with a level of force appropriate only for the latter. Sounds like this is what Page considers "the day my country died". As a fellow Canadian, I hope he's being a little hyperbolic; using excessive force is bad, but it's still a mistake decent people can make. Somebody had to make that call, and I don't envy whoever it was. Anyway, that's just the occasion for the song, not what it's really about. As I "read" it, Page is expressing frustration and fatigue. He feels like the movements he supports aren't getting anywhere; he may make some small difference with his music, but the larger battle is being lost. People just don't seem to care, and it makes him wonder why he bothers. This part I can relate to. I think anyone who cares about a cause feels the same way sometimes. |
