What if it's all about the Statue of Liberty? Hold on... what is she a symbol of? LIBERTY?! The woman that I love Is forty feet tall She's a movie star She's all in the papers Sounds like the Statue... And everywhere i go People hand me quarters And they pat me on the back They treat me like im famous He is homeless, gets change, people pity him. I'll never leave her side 'Cause today can be dangerous He is homeless, therefore - he is a free man. Compared to our freedom -- he is the one who is really free of all the responsibilities of today's world. And when the night arrives The light hit her features And the cars drive by Just so they could see her And she never bats an eye When someone takes her picture Again, sounds like the Statue. He goes back and forth between talking about the statue itself, and what she actually symbolizes. Mr.Officer if you've come to take her Then that means one of us Gonna end up in a stretcher Gonna end up in the papers, going end up in the papers, yeah He wont let anyone take away his freedom. He was prolly loitering somewhere for too long (like homeless people tend to do) and some idiot called the cops. If i had a pistol I'd brandish it and wave it She's the only one alive that knows that I'm not crazy Right to bear arms? Freedom? She, Liberty, is the only one who understands him - the free man. She's gonna testify on my behalf Down at the Navy So I can get some peace And provide for my babies Navy - armed forces of the US - fighting for freedom. She is his secret weapon. All he wants is to provide for his family and he has the right - the liberty to do so. And she, Liberty, she's got his back on that one. I got a stick and a bottle I'll pretend I got a razor Helicopters and cameras all shottin' for the station They say that a wild man defending his lady He will do anything and everything in his power to protect his freedom. The feeling is so strong that even though he might seem like nobody with nothing is his posession (stick in a bottle) -- he will make it seem like he has that f&%$#n razor if anyone gets close to taking away his freedom. But for some odd reason they keep calling you a painting painting - something still, not real, an 'illusion' --as most people might say. he knows that his painting - his freedom - is real. and he wont let anyone take it away. I hope you got my point... Thank you. oh, and by the way: picasso did design sculptures. |
