He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
See, I come from a time where they didn't put rear view mirrors on passenger sides of vehicles
And this is for those who still drink malt liquor
Put the poison in your body just to pass out quicker
When death calls, best believe it's gonna get all emotional
'Cause I ain't goin' to Hell without my menthols
Damn cable TV got me trapped in girls actin' dumb and cops beatin' black men
Overfill, overkill, tryna deal, call the toll-free and order me some diet pills, aight!
Got me lookin' at the sugar in the Kool-Aid
That you made, you need to chase it down with some toothpaste
Still stuck to the simple things, yup
The struggle in between a couple of Krsipy Kremes
I have to ask if you could pass that half and half to get my coffee back on track
Big-ups to all the carbonated hiccups, the energy drinks, and the suicide big gulps
Gonna find happiness in the fast food
Super-size a triple bypass heart attack too
Distract view with these colorful tattoos
To cover up the fact that we feel like bad news
Uh, we love the things that hate us
Push snooze again, girl, I don't wanna wake up
America the beautiful, that's how she played us
Wasn't that cute? It musta been her makeup
Try'na grab everything that she gave us
Just take it back in the math on that pay stub
Lookin' at the neighbors like, "Wait up!" (wait up)
Uh, we love the things that hate us
Pain killers help find some feeling
Crack the vike in half just to break the time sealant
Take it by yourself on the living room carpet
Do a little bump just to clean your apartment
I've seen your wife, she's not the true finest
I understand why you like to pay them prostitutes
Strip clubs, gun shops, oh Jesus
Right next to the liquor store for your convenience
Everybody say, "Ho!" for the Cuervo
You can drive if you promise to be careful
Turn the radio up and light a doobie
And keep actin' like life is like a movie
This is for the needles you share
Because them after-school TV specials is too square
Cook the coke for your own consumption
On some Jo-Jo Dems in Old School, what's your function?
As American as herpes and hot dogs
Got lost between the mustard and the hot sauce
Unprotected sex with that one you just met
You ain't even got all your hep shots yet
It goes...
Uh, we love the things that hate us
Push snooze again, girl, I don't wanna wake up
America the beautiful, that's how she played us
Wasn't that cute? It musta been her makeup
Try'na grab everything that she gave us
Just take it back in the math on that pay stub
Lookin' at the neighbors like, "Wait up!" (wait up)
Uh, we love the things that hate us

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”
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
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."
