First Place!! Lyrics
You have killed them
And you don't know why
Your lips, they move
And they only lie
Your house is white
It's got nice things inside
When you are through
You'd better run and hide
In awe, in awe...
This brigade of girls and boys
We will rid of you and of your dangerous toys
Like father, like son and so on
And so forth, in awe, in awe...
But we, we will win first place!!
And you, we'll never tell you how
But you shoulda known by now
You have killed them
And you don't know
You don't know why
Keep it down
It's no big news, you know?
You know...
And you don't know why
Your lips, they move
And they only lie
It's got nice things inside
When you are through
You'd better run and hide
We will rid of you and of your dangerous toys
Like father, like son and so on
And so forth, in awe, in awe...
And you, we'll never tell you how
But you shoulda known by now
And you don't know
You don't know why
Keep it down
It's no big news, you know?
You know...

When I first heard about this song. I thought of the U.S presidency. "your house is white, it's got nice things inside." Possibly George W Bush "like father like son" And it's a rebellion song, getting anger out on the government. "we will rid of you and your dangerous toys." "you have killed them and you don't know why." Possibly about the gov. sending troops to the war in iraq without concrete reason. Or war in general. I don't know, that is just my take on this particular song. But a good song is one that everyone is able to interpret in their own way.
I have no idea what he's talking about in this song.
I don't know if you got those lyrics from a different version, but here are the lyrics from the one on the album:
You have killed them And you don't know why Your lips they move But they only lie Your house is white Its got nice things inside When you are through you better run and ahide
You know, you know, you know You know, you know, you know
This brigade of Girls and boys We will ride of you And of your dangerous toys Like father like Son and so On and so forth
You know, you know, you know You know, you know, you know
But we will win first place And we'll never tell you how But you shoulda known by now
You have killed them And you don't know why
Keep it down It's no big news You know, you know You know, you know
