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.
In the darkest tunnel it's nice to see a light
Not just a headlight
Like the one that's heading right for me
It would be nice if things could turn out right
Turn out right yeah
Don't think I'll ever see the day
I must have done something wrong
Or maybe pissed off God
I think of Chinese food when I think of life
That's sweet and sour
My life is sweet as saccharine
You know three week old milk and grapes are not
Not the same, no
I am the one Johnny Carcinogen
I must have fucked with some witch
In turn she cursed me, cursed my life
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go to
The end of the longest line
But officer that was a yellow light
The light was red, son
Insubordination, reckless driving
I must be wrong, this can't be right
I don't belong, this world is much to dangerous
For someone lacking luck, like me
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go to
The end of the longest line
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
At the end of the longest line
Not just a headlight
Like the one that's heading right for me
It would be nice if things could turn out right
Turn out right yeah
Don't think I'll ever see the day
I must have done something wrong
Or maybe pissed off God
I think of Chinese food when I think of life
That's sweet and sour
My life is sweet as saccharine
You know three week old milk and grapes are not
Not the same, no
I am the one Johnny Carcinogen
I must have fucked with some witch
In turn she cursed me, cursed my life
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go to
The end of the longest line
But officer that was a yellow light
The light was red, son
Insubordination, reckless driving
I must be wrong, this can't be right
I don't belong, this world is much to dangerous
For someone lacking luck, like me
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
If you need to find me, just go to
The end of the longest line
At the end of the longest line
That's where I will always be
At the end of the longest line

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
worst cover ever... an insult to nofx... almost made me cry... one of the best songs ever shouldnt try to be covered by this band... this hurts my feelings and should hurt all nofx fans' feelings.... damn you blink.... damn you to hell.... NYA!
Why would NOFX even let this retarted band cover their song. It's one of NOFX's best, and they didn't even do a good job covering it. Blink 182 can burn, along with all the other crap that's played on MTV!!!
OMG those asshole's made a perfectly good song into shit!! This by far is the worst cover I have ever heard in my life. I though the Rock Tribute To Rap cd was shit but damn Blink topped it all again, from being the worst band with the worst song, album and now the worst cover ever!!
well its blink 182, what do you expect?
Good call.
hum.. this cover is bad.. really bad, but not the worst ive heard.. the worst is a cover on ramones sheena is a punk rocker, by a band called shebang..
its a disgrace to NoFX is what it is...& its not blink 182 its blink dumbass...eny way NoFX deservs better...muuuuch better
First off, don't let my name fool you. I like Blink, but my name has nothing to do with them. Seriously.
Second thing is, this cover fucking sucks. What the hell were they thinking? This is one of the worst covers I have heard. "Dancing With Myself" was bad, but it was funny. But they just killed this song. They made a great song a piece of shit. I can't believe it... how the hell did THEY get permission to do this song? Especially after the outcome...
fuck nofx? why did blink had to cover a of the stupist song? from of the most lame band, fuck i swear i cant stand nofx they fucking suck big dick. blink is one of my favorte bands. and im really pissed. why did blink 182 had to do a fucking cover by one of the lamest punk band ever. Fuck N o f x they suck dick.
This is a good song but "i think that it is better that every man paddles his own canoe"
