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.
They're trying to build a prison

Following the rights movements you clamped on with your iron fists
Drugs became conveniently available for all the kids

In the prison system, prison system of the U.S.

Minor drug offenders fill your prisons, you don't even flinch
All our taxes paying for your wars against the new non-rich

And law enforcement decreased while abolishing
mandatory minimum sentences

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
if you actually give a shit you should check out Full Metal Jackoff by Jello Biafra w/ DOA. reading SOAD lyrics makes me want to learn a second language. i opt to go to bed rather than explain this notion.
