This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Tell me baby, tell me baby
what you want, honey what you want
well it's 95 miles between here and Mobile
and I ain't got nothing but time to kill
so tell me what you want
don't mistreat me, don't mistreat me
and I won't hurt you, I won't hurt you
you can love me fast you can love me long
you can love me all night or all day long
just don't mistreat me; honey don't
I'm gonna move out, I'm gonna move out
away from here, away from here
gonna build my house in the mud and sticks
just me, myself and the devil in a fix
gonna move out away from here
operator, operator
dial me Jesus! dial me Jesus!
now I been waiting so long, so patiently
I been waiting too long just to be set free
dial me jesus, dial him now!
sun is bleeding, sun is bleeding
on my head, on my head
they call me boy, they call me kid
but they don't understand a word I said
sun's bleeding on my head
take me home baby, take me home baby
let me be your other man
well I ain't good looking and I ain't too bright
but I can keep you busy in the middle of the night
so take me, and take me home!
seven sisters, seven sisters
are on my mind, they're on my mind
they all live apart and they don't ever speak
so I can have me one every day of the week
seven sisters are on my mind
what you want, honey what you want
well it's 95 miles between here and Mobile
and I ain't got nothing but time to kill
so tell me what you want
don't mistreat me, don't mistreat me
and I won't hurt you, I won't hurt you
you can love me fast you can love me long
you can love me all night or all day long
just don't mistreat me; honey don't
I'm gonna move out, I'm gonna move out
away from here, away from here
gonna build my house in the mud and sticks
just me, myself and the devil in a fix
gonna move out away from here
operator, operator
dial me Jesus! dial me Jesus!
now I been waiting so long, so patiently
I been waiting too long just to be set free
dial me jesus, dial him now!
sun is bleeding, sun is bleeding
on my head, on my head
they call me boy, they call me kid
but they don't understand a word I said
sun's bleeding on my head
take me home baby, take me home baby
let me be your other man
well I ain't good looking and I ain't too bright
but I can keep you busy in the middle of the night
so take me, and take me home!
seven sisters, seven sisters
are on my mind, they're on my mind
they all live apart and they don't ever speak
so I can have me one every day of the week
seven sisters are on my mind

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.
