America Town Lyrics
It’s not all that wild to me
Not that I want to be any other where
I know its hell out there
All of the dollies are spinning round and round
Hail to the chief
Lets just drag them all down
There’s got to be a hero somewhere
Now it just seems old to me
(Everyone is old to me)
But first I’ll take a nap tonight
And know someone’s looking out for me
All of the dollies are spinning round and round
Hail to the chief
Lets just drag them all down
There’s got to be a hero somewhere
I’ve seen it
I bought it all
I can still make my bet on the basketball game
And I got my spare change
I’m even O.K. with the hoodlums on the hill
They’re in my will
Like her and you
Whom and who
In America Town
We all spin around
In America Town
I’m really not down…
We all spin around
In America Town
America Town
America Town
I'm not sure whether this is supposed to be about corprate america, or just a small boring town. It would make sense either way...
i think this song is about the perfect american town and how america should be.All perfect and good. It shows how fake our society is today.
honestly i think he just threw together crap that rymed. it makes very little sense. my fist guess was that it was about anarchy. but im pretty sure thats wrong
i have no idea what this song is about, all i know is that i love it
i think hes talking about how america is safer than enywhere else and that we should be happy living here
I think hes talking about how he moved here to america and hes talking about how life really is, its not all daisys and butterflies theres heartbreak and crime and stuff but he doesnt want to be ungrateful because its hell in other countries in comparison. Now dont get me wrong this is just a guess, I actually have no clue what its like to live in amerrica cuz Im from Canada but this is what I get from the lyrics
He's talking about a few things here.
He's saying he's glad he's here in America, its safe, stable, and he enjoys a pretty good standard of living. But he's still not happy, he sees how easy it is to be involved in a cause, and than just abandon it "I used to get annoyed at the fire and the flag, now it just seems old to me (everyone is old to me)" He's tired of caring, because money and special interests dictate agendas, even against a majority of people "lets just drag em all down" where is a hero?
But he really doesn't care to the point of making a big deal about those unmentioned wrongs and becoming the hero.
"Not that I’m upset
I can still make my bet on the basketball game"
I really like the rest of the last verse. It is a bunch of rhyming, but each rhyme has a different meaning that is related. Like Whom and Who, the classic technical difference that basically means the same thing. I think it's a metaphor about politics. Republicans vs Democrats, they're all the same! We have a two party system that restricts all others from entering. Again, "Here in the borders of America Town All of the dollies (dollars) are spinning round and round Hail to the chief Lets just drag them all down There’s got to be a hero somewhere"
