Aluminum Park Lyrics
You can care if you wanna
You can care if you don't
But c'mon it's a big big world now-
You gotta get what you want.
Got no lack of frustration,
Got no lack of disease...
But c'mon it's a big big world now-
You gotta like what you see... and I do.
Well you can ride, ride, ride on down to the aluminum park.
Well you can ride, ride, ride on down with your head in the dark.
Well, it's a little bit important to me- you get a whole lot of what you need.
So you can ride, ride, ride on down to the aluminum park. RIDE!
(Repeat)
And you can ride, ride, ride on down to the aluminum park.
Well, you can ride on down... Hey!
RIDE!
You can care if you don't
But c'mon it's a big big world now-
You gotta get what you want.
Got no lack of disease...
But c'mon it's a big big world now-
You gotta like what you see... and I do.
Well you can ride, ride, ride on down with your head in the dark.
Well, it's a little bit important to me- you get a whole lot of what you need.
So you can ride, ride, ride on down to the aluminum park. RIDE!
Well, you can ride on down... Hey!
RIDE!

to you, business executives
to you, business executives
should the second line read, "You WON'T care if you don't" ??
And thank you, I am a business exec and if I listened to this song every morning I'd probably, one day, just keep driving...South preferably.
I thought the same, but the album sleeve lyrics are the ones I posted. I also thought he says "Got no LIKELY disease," but again, the album sleeve is what I posted.

I dont think its limited to just business executives. I think the barrel is aimed at politicians and other big decision makers.
An aluminum park is slang for a junk yard. It sounds like James' is accompanying some nameless big wig down to a scrap yard to "get a whole lot of what (he) needs). Although there is no lack of problems (frustration, desease), this gentleman is going keep the blinders on (ride on down with your head in the dark) and take what he needs.
This is about as political as MMJ gets, which I certainly appreciate. Theres no shortage of clowns with a microphone and half baked ideas of how to fix the world.
"Got no lack of disease" sounds right.
It relates to drugs for me. One because supposedly junkies got their name from returning scrap metal for money. Two, because shooting cocaine makes everything sound metal
In case anyone is still stumped, I believe the song is a message to the listener. The aluminum park represents a place you may have played as child, and he's urging you now, as an adult, to get out in the world and play. Play your own game, make your own way, and enjoy it like you did when you were a kid.
