Jimmy Eat World – Caveman Lyrics 16 years ago
I think this song is about the world and how it is changing. The backyard being what we see as our home, Earth.

"The 2x4's are making their way around"
Buildings get bigger, and more spread out every year.

"The big get bigger when the fights done"
Corporations and Powerful people get more and more powerful every day.

"I found that secret door"
He see's what is happening, but what can one person do?

"A Man with a shovel is gonna dig deep down and find out where it feeds"
The white house, our government is letting it happen, and someday, someone is going to expose it.

"it seems like a drag to be torn apart by unexpected hands."


By now this should be pretty easy to interpret based on my views of this song. But this is only my opinion, Tom or Jim could have been writing about something completely different. But this made the most sense to me out of all. The world is changing, and the rich are the ones who have control over the poor. And it's getting worse and worse as the years go on. It's amazing that if this is true, he saw this 13 years ago. Because now, most people still cant even see it.
