| Minutemen – This Ain’t No Picnic Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
Should be 'foreman presides over me,' not 'for a man'. "Losing my self respect for a man who presides over me" doesn't make any sense. A foreman is the working man's equivalent of an office supervisor or something. This song is a blue collar anthem about struggling to make ends meet in a hostile and shitty work environment, not racism. It was allegedly inspired by D. Boon's racist boss calling music on a jazz radio station "nigger shit." But that's just what some college kid hipster wrote in a book longer after Boon got killed in a car accident. Hell of a story, but who knows if that actually happened? Stay skeptic, fuck the man. |

| The Birthday Party – Sonny's Burning Lyrics | 14 years ago |
| This is probably about heroin. demon flower=poppy seeds:opiates:heroin. Burnin them up... cooking the heroin before you shoot it up. Drugs are burnin him up. Sleaze and drugs go hand in hand a lot... especially with Nick Cave. I think it's about a dude that's been completely consumed by sex and smack. | |
