Decoration Lyrics
I think it's about a boy caught up in a materialistic world.
So take the boy to the back cover up his ears We got some dirty little secrets we don't want him to hear And in business you don't question someones wealth Well chain him to the bed so he won't run away We'll take his piggy bank and cash it in on our way Just chase your dreams and never let them go
The dirty little secrets are the things the corporate world is hiding from the boy. Taking the piggy bank means they're stealing his money on their way to success in the world. The dreams are the dreams of the money-makers to own the world and it's novelties.
I think decoration is what covers up the dark side of this greed and money. You put a bow on it and sell it for a hundred bucks more suddenly, you've got yourself a real prize.
But you can kick it in the back and think it will all go away Take some pills for the pain and throw your voice away Someone else is made to write the bills So you've been talking to the richons and your cheek bones hurt And then a little baby talk to make sure you still care Its all around the pointless bets that we all make to pay for ourselves [?]
Maybe bad credit? You're in debt so much now that you've got your baby and your family to think about so you're taking your money and gambling it away to find an easy solution.
just my interpretation.
i think you pretty much got it although im not sure about the line
i think you pretty much got it although im not sure about the line
And then a little baby talk to make sure you still care
And then a little baby talk to make sure you still care
i think thats about how companies always do little sounds like oh this is for children or we do this little program on the side to help the poor. its like a safety buffer to whatever wrongs they are doing. not to say that programs like the ronald mccdonald house is bad but it doesn't change the fact that thy exploit entire communities and destroy nature.

thank you for submitting this! i couldnt figure it all out. (& wtf jeff left the band....again.)
when i hear the first line i hear "so take the boys to the back, cover up their ears" which makes sense with the "we got some dirty little secrets we don't want him to hear"
i dunno though, that's just what i think.. haha
I really like the way this song sounds.
this song will lead to good things. but during the chorus. im not sure who's voice im hearing. maybe its just the recording. i dont think it is ace's. i think they'll add a chorus to this song or something. make it more.
ace's voice in this song is priceless... i dont know what the song means but i think the band must have some huge meaning to it... i just wish i knew what it was
when they performed this live the chorus was done by ace and jeff. if you listen you kinda kinda hee the voice difference.
I don't think he's saying decorations everytime during the chorus...at least it doesn't sound like he is...maybe I'm wrong...either way, wonderful song.
i absolutely love this song. i listened tons of times over and over again from the three hour trip from venice to florence and then from the four hour trip to roma. so now it reminds me of travelling on italian roadways, sweet. this song kills me, i love it so much.
love this song!! i cant wait to hear what the real version will sound like! go ten!!
