Time to Send Someone Away Lyrics

Time to send someone away,
not me, no not you

Sad how you've been all lead astray.
Go on, count your chickens.

Wolves are all lined up waiting.
The trick is to not move.
Showing off her jewelry.
Humiliation will be your new rule.

Time to send someone away,
I've got my back up

Sad how you've been all lead astray.
Come lets count, it's obscene

They lead you to their maze
when no ones asked them to.
But hey you're walking over bodies
just to witness something new.
Just to witness something new.

Time to send someone away,
not me I'm not in.

Feel that summer rain, it's in your face again.
Feel that summer rain, it's in your face again.

I think maybe it's a criticism about the Americans apathy.

I would like to know what this song is about exactly. It appears to be somewhat clear, but in the end it's very cryptic.

I think this song is about people being sent away to fight in a war..'sad how you've been all lead astray, they lead you to their maze'... and he's saying 'not me i'm not in' becoz he doesn't belive in war..

I've read a lot of lyrics for this song, and they all have some small differences... and I like them all. :) Jose has some poetic fans it seems.

I will continue to believe that it's "Go on, count your chickens" instead of chins... but maybe that's just me. I swear I can hear the "ck" in there.

On the second verse, it's definitely not "not me I'm not in" again, it sounds more like "I've got my back up." "Sad how you've been all lead astray"... then this page is currently missing the next line which sounds like "Come lets count... it's obscene."

Anyway, it's a beautiful song and this is a great interpretation of the lyrics.
