Chevy express
No children conceived
The beer cans rattle around
The tags are old
The engine's cold
I'm idle in a neighboring town
Highway work
No progress made
The state's just taking their time
Something's wrong
The bridge is strong
They're bagging money all the while
He got the trade
He got the money
And the honey to apologize
He got the skin
But I got it thick
And the tricks for compromise
Crazy kids
Their money in pits
And a selfish sense of bitch
We know them
We hate them
I could have sworn they was diggin' the ditch
But that kid was cute
That kid ate fruit
Then the kid was found in a blanket
Clues ain't there
The cops were square
It must have been an immigrant
She got the trade
She got the money
And the honey to apologize
She got the skin
But I got it thick
And the tricks for a compromise

Water's cold
Walls are mold
But we got a little co-op farm
Drugs and terror
Which one's better
Mother nature's waging a war
I'll take the rap
I'll buy the gas
Give the money to the Indian boy
I got the trade
I got the money
And the honey to apologize
I got the skin
He got it thick
And the tricks for a compromise
I got the trade
I got the money
And the honey to apologize
I got the skin
He got it thick
And the tricks for a compromise

Such a great song, such a great band, I wish there were more comments on it. The song appears to be about a child murder, which the cops can't solve or maybe don't even care about since he's an immigrant.
The line "I got the trade I got the money And the honey to apologize" It strikes me as meaningful, but I can't place my finger on what it may mean.
I wonder if the child murder was preformed by the narrator and his girlfriend but the cops are blaming an immigrant instead and perhaps the narrator feels remorseful.
I find the child murder part interesting, its definitely the most grabbing segment of the song, but I have a sense of the narrator pointing out other people's illegal activity too, like the local government pocketing road repair money while taking their time to finish a bridge, possible drunk driving(Beer cans rolling around), etc. <br /> <br /> But I wouldn't be surprised if the murder was carried out by the narrator and someone else is getting the blame for it.
