Cabbage Town Lyrics
You can do it, just not all the time
Hiding in your room, you'll be feeling fine
Talk on the telephone while painting your nails
Little plastic bags and a digiscale
Aw, this hallway's full of plastic kids
Aw, they jump and make the CD skip
I'm never telling what I find out
I'm going to love you like the New South
You drive me crazy with your foul mouth
Until you meet me down in Cabbage Town
Down in Cabbage Town
It's going to happen but just not overnight
Bring a pack of cards and a box of wine
Oh, on the day when I flash that badge
Just try to think of the other half
It's hard living
When it's a matter of fact
But this city's full of lazy kids
Sweetie, someone's got to steer this ship
I'm going to love you like the New South
You make me crazy with your foul mouth
Come on and meet me down in Cabbage Town
Come down to Cabbage Town
To play "Remember When . . . ?"
But if you want my help, I'm in
I'm going to love you like the New South
You're talking crazy with your loud mouth
Come on and meet me down in Cabbage Town
Oh, come to Cabbage Town
I'm going to make it like a new sound
You make me crazy with your foul mouth
Oh, won't you meet me down in Cabbage Town
Come down to Cabbage Town
Come on to Cabbage Town
Come down to Cabbage Town
Come to Cabbage Town
In the first verse "All that blotter gonna twist up your mind" hes talking about LSD
Thanks for stating the obvious....

Some people are not well-educated in the area of psychedelic drugs, so thank you (non sarcastically).

I have heard it in reference to our recent election and the fact that alot of southern states voted democratic, since this song is about east atlanta im guessing he is referencing the recent change in the south.

I LOVE this song its my favorite off this CD haha
no, its badge, not "batch". do you even own a physical copy? its in the lyric sheet, not that you even need to look to assume its badge.
Hmm.. I'm a little hesitant to post my opinion, because it seems like there are some real jerks posting on this song... Anywho...
My interpretation is that two old friends have kind of divergent life paths... one of them is into (dealing, I think) LSD, the other seems to be a cop? (Flash that badge)... The cop has a history with the dealer/still has romantic feelings for her, and would like to get together with her, both because he likes her, and because he wants to help her out (I think the "love you like the New South" is also a reference to this... given the reformative connotation of "New South").
I really like the part that starts with "Oh, on the day that I flash that badge..." and ending with "someone's got to steer this ship."
It's "batch", not badge
