Sleeping With The Fishes, See?

this song is clearly about environmentalism. which is rare considering that the number twelve don't usually write political lyrics, although they are political in life(they've stated that they support obama, they don't usually write about it. the most clear example is "the bees need to stay busy, butterfly wings need to keep flowers in motion, the trail needs to stay warm, so you stay away from their home" also "you and everyone like you are selfish destroyers" and "i want to conserve, i want to protect, i want to defend, we have to preserve" and the part where they say "take my picture i want to have proof of this history" implying that the environment wont last if nothing is done and jase wants a photo for history (how can i help, before this will end), once again commenting on the frailty of the environment.

Take my picture I want to have proof Of this history I want the lake

In the back and all this beauty in my heart They like to hide in the marsh

Like a child on a tire swing The swoop in on an arc To brush the fish home

Dinner is served To the young The late bloomers lay their eggs And they all sway To the music Of the brushing reeds

I want to conserve I want to protect I want to defend We have to preserve

How can I help How can I help Before this will end? How can I help How can I help Before this will end?

The bee's need to stay busy Butterfly wings need to keep the flowers in motion The trial needs to stay warm You stay away from their home

Take my picture I want to have proof Of this history I want the lake

You and everyone like you are selfish destroyers And I'll be just as selfish when I don't give you back

One drill through your heart Three nails to crucify you Two chisels in your eyes Three nails to crucify you

I will turn your project to news headlines

2:21 onwards is beautiful, especially on the DVD. Anyone got the backing vocals in that bit.

?

This song is EPIC. Like the part where he goes like The bee's need to stay busy and in the back he says Busy Bee.
