I thought the lines "Everytime I look out my window, The same three dogs lookin' back at me" was a blurred reference to Cerberus, a 3 headed dog that guards the gates of Hades. There are numerous other Greek/Roman mythology references throughout this song. It seemed to me it may mean either "I'm one step away from hell" or "Life is hell." |

| FYI, Robot Lords of Tokyo took their name from this song, not the other way around. They are also a pretty good band. | |
| Clutch – David Rose Lyrics | 15 years ago |

John Brown was an abolitionist who led slaves to take over an armory in Harpers Ferry, Virginia pre-Civil War. (first 2 verses) In the Old Testament book of Samuel there is a story of a shepard boy David who kills the Philistine giant Goliath with a sling and 5 smooth stones to free the Jewish people from slavery. (chorus) Brown was considered both a revolutionary and a terrorist and was hanged after the armory was retaken by farmers and Marines. (verse 3) Nat Turner was a slave who led a revolt in Virginia that led to the killing of some 55 men, women and children in Southampton County, VA. The last line blurs the line between the slaves and Jewish people (When it was done they rode along to liberate Jerusalem.) (verse4) |
