Rabid Animals Lyrics
Somebody save the queen
She'll drown in shallow gene pool
Maybe it's maybelline
Maybe the unforeseen, fool...
How many lines should it take
Trying to keep you awake
How many licks does it take
Before you get to the red in the steak yeah...
Digging holes for rabid animals
You and me were soldiers
We were foaming at the mouth
Sweet Caroline
Say something back so I know you're alive
Under attack for the rest of our lives
And so we pay the price
Deep in the underground
They whisper all men are made equal
Does anyone else hear the sound?
Has anyone else seen the sequel?
Digging holes for animals, part two
You and me were soldiers
We were wondering what to do
Sweet Caroline...
Say something back, so I know you're alive
Under attack, for the rest of our lives
And so we pay the price
Red light, green light
Near death, near sight
Are you sober?
Where are you soldier?
Red light, green light
Near death, near sight
Are you sober?
Where are you soldier?
Deep the underground
They whisper all men are made equal
Digging holes for rabid animals
You and me were soldiers
We were foaming at the mouth
Sweet Caroline...
Say something back, so I know you're alive
Under attack for the rest of our lives
You do the math
I'll do my best to survive
How can you laugh, while they eat me alive?
And so we pay the price
For having sliced and diced
We nail our Jesus Christ
To the wall
Through the wall
Whispers through the wall
Walking through the wall
Walking through the wall
She'll drown in shallow gene pool
Maybe it's maybelline
Maybe the unforeseen, fool...
How many lines should it take
Trying to keep you awake
How many licks does it take
Before you get to the red in the steak yeah...
You and me were soldiers
We were foaming at the mouth
Sweet Caroline
Under attack for the rest of our lives
And so we pay the price
They whisper all men are made equal
Does anyone else hear the sound?
Has anyone else seen the sequel?
You and me were soldiers
We were wondering what to do
Sweet Caroline...
Under attack, for the rest of our lives
And so we pay the price
Near death, near sight
Are you sober?
Where are you soldier?
Red light, green light
Near death, near sight
Are you sober?
Where are you soldier?
They whisper all men are made equal
You and me were soldiers
We were foaming at the mouth
Sweet Caroline...
Under attack for the rest of our lives
You do the math
I'll do my best to survive
How can you laugh, while they eat me alive?
And so we pay the price
For having sliced and diced
We nail our Jesus Christ
To the wall
Through the wall
Whispers through the wall
Walking through the wall
Walking through the wall
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
This song is definitely about two soldiers in World War 1. I can't tell for certain, but I think the song is from the point of view of a survivor with severe PTSD. He is singing about his comrade, whom I think is a combat engineer or a radio operator that he has been assigned to defend. I think the friend dies at some point, likely from a chemical weapon or cocaine overdose. He says "how can you laugh while they eat me alive", but what I think is actually happening in that line is that his mate has died and the method in which they have died has left a permanent grin on their corpse. The supposed feeling of betrayal by their dead comrade is a mask for the survivor's guilt that the main character feels. At least, that's my thought. It is definitely about WWI, but the rest is just my best theory at this time. ^w^
