5:45 Lyrics
How can I sit and eat my tea,
with all that blood flowing from the television.
At a quarter to six,
I watch the news,
Eating, eating all my food
As I sit watching the red spot
In the egg which looks like
All the blood you don't see on the television.
Still body now, no movement yet
Five men lie die flat on their backs
Were they born to lie in state
Defend the ever stagnate great?
Down on the street assassinate
All of them look so desperate
Declared blood war on the bourgeois state
Watch new blood on the 18 inch screen
The corpse is a new personality
Ionic charge gives immortality
The corpse is a new personality
Down on the street assassinate
All of them look so desperate
Declared blood war on the bourgeois state
Watch new blood on the 18 inch screen
The corpse is a new personality
Watch new blood on the 18 inch screen
The corpse is a new personality
Watch new blood on the 18 inch screen
The corpse is a new personality
Watch new blood on the 18 inch screen
The corpse is a new personality
Watch new blood on the 18 inch screen
The corpse is a new personality
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Down on the street assassinate
All of them look so desperate
Declared blood war on the bourgeois state
with all that blood flowing from the television.
At a quarter to six,
I watch the news,
Eating, eating all my food
As I sit watching the red spot
In the egg which looks like
All the blood you don't see on the television.
Five men lie die flat on their backs
Were they born to lie in state
Defend the ever stagnate great?
All of them look so desperate
Declared blood war on the bourgeois state
The corpse is a new personality
Ionic charge gives immortality
The corpse is a new personality
All of them look so desperate
Declared blood war on the bourgeois state
The corpse is a new personality
Watch new blood on the 18 inch screen
The corpse is a new personality
Watch new blood on the 18 inch screen
The corpse is a new personality
Watch new blood on the 18 inch screen
The corpse is a new personality
Watch new blood on the 18 inch screen
The corpse is a new personality
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
Guerilla war struggle is a new entertainment
All of them look so desperate
Declared blood war on the bourgeois state

I think it is more logical that 5.45 refers to a quarter to six. "At a quarter to six, I watch the news"
For young people (like me..) this song doesn't feel very "revolutionary", how often isn't TV bashed these days? But going back to when it was written one realizes that King and co were on to something essential. unfortunately, the tendencies described in the song have only intensified with time. The corpse, the guerilla war struggle, is entertainment more than ever before.
Woah. Heavy.
Could it be possible, that the 5.45 has something to do with World war 2? You know the line ".. Seit 5:45 wird zurückgeschossen" (Since 5.45, we are shooting back at them) ..
Well moe2000, Tool are still sing ing about the same thing now (Vicarious)
