Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
You don't know me, but here I am in your living room,
You don't own me, but you paid and that means alot to you, well,
You never listen, but I know that's what you think that you do,
And everybody wants a change, but this time it'll be the same,
Watch us go down in flames
Its all right, it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway,
We had our chance, we made our point, but you're not gonna take that
Radio, commercials, tv shows, and front page ads,
Photos, and interviews, they'll make sure it's the latest fad,
Pay attention, cuz you know you'll have to pay either way,
And they tell you that its the new thing, but we know that it hasn't changed,
Watch us go down in flames
It's all right, it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway,
We had our chance, we made our point, but you're not going take that away
When this blows over, and the main stream coughs up another shell,
Will you let us back in your underground, well I guess that's a no,
And it's just as well, cuz you never supported us,
All you wanted was to see us fail, and they tell me that it's the new thing,
So I better get out of the way, watch us go down in flames
It's all right, it's ok, it was going to happen anyway,
We had our chance, we made our point, and you're not gonna take that,
It's all right, it's ok, it was gonna happen anyway,
We had our chance, we made our point, you're not gonna take that away,
You're not gonna take that away, you're not gonna take that away,
You're not gonna take that away
You don't own me, but you paid and that means alot to you, well,
You never listen, but I know that's what you think that you do,
And everybody wants a change, but this time it'll be the same,
Watch us go down in flames

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?

This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
only 1 comment??? cmon guys, this song is amazing!!! this was one of the songs rbf played in their 5 song encore. this is one of my fav rbf songs. its kinda sad but hopeful. they made music, got popular, but then no one liked em. but they still did something, but now their original fans dont like em anymore b/c they got popular. "we had a chance, made our point and you're not gonna take that away" i love the line that says "pay attention cuz you know you'll have to pay either way" great song w/ so much meaning.
