| Bad Religion – Atomic Garden Lyrics | 23 years ago |

Well, I'd like to say this song is about the threat of nuclear weapons durring the cold war. I think that the singer of this song (not the actual singer) is the weapon it's self ( and I wish I had a shiny red top a bugle with a big brass bell would cheer me up or maybe something bigger that could really go pop! So I could make the gardening stop.) This song is littered with metaphors galore : "at leats he's got a garden with a fertile plot and a party that will never stop" refers to the communist party and it's policy of producing nuclear warheads, even after the intial exchange ( It was on the discovery channel one day). Here's more: "all my scientists are working on a deadline so my psychologist is working day and night time they say they know what's best for me but they don't know what they're doing" refers to america's policy of producing "better" warheads and the millitarys first strike policy first laid down by the SAC (now defunct) or Stratiegic Air Command... more to come latter -- need to get out of here ;) |
