Vegetable Lyrics

I never wanted anything but this
I tried hard, worked hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard, died hard

Every time you're running over me
Every time you're running I can see

I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feels me
I will not control myself

I never wanted any broken bones
Scarred face, no home
Your words surround me and I asphyxiate
And I burn all hate

Every time you're running out on me
Every time you're running I can see

I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feels me
I will not control myself

The waters break, the waters run all over me
The waters break, the waters run
And this time you're going to pay

I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feels me
I will not control myself

This song a about a vegetable XD

I quite like the Christ idea, but until I heard about it I always thought this song was about disabled people and how degrading it would be to have to rely on the care of others to survive.

My Interpretation

I think this is about someone who has lost the ability to live their life as they once had. Feeling like a vegetable but having all the bitterness of once experiencing life differently and not accepting the change.

The correct (official) lyrics are as follows:

I never wanted anything but this I tried hard, worked hard I ran around in domestic bliss I fought hard, died hard Everytime you're running over me Everytime you're running I can see I'm not a vegetable I will not control myself I spit on the hand that feels me I will not control myself I never wanted any broken bones Scarred face, no home Your words surround me and I asphyxiate And I burn all hate Everytime you're running out on me Everytime you're running I can see I'm not a vegetable I will not control myself I spit on the hand that feels me I will not control myself The waters break, the waters run all over me The waters break, the waters run And this time you're gonna pay I'm not a vegetable I will not control myself I spit on the hand that feels me I will not control myself..

Good try, though

Human spirit? Maybe, maybe not. I guess that's what it looks like to me Thom's voice changes after this album- it seems so angry and hateful here

Interesting lyrics...

<b>"I never wanted anything but this I worked hard, tried hard I ran around in domestic bliss I fought hard, died hard

Every time you're running out of here Every time you're running I get the fear

I never wanted any broken bones Scarred face, no home Your words surround me and asphyxiate And I burn all hate

Every time you're running out on me Every time you're running I can see

I'm not a vegetable I will not control myself I spit on the hand that feeds me I will not control myself

The waters break, the waters run all over me The waters break, the waters run And this time you're gonna pay

I'm not a vegetable I will not control myself I spit on the hand that feeds me I will not control myself" </b>

I'm probably wrong but i think this is about someone who was bullied from being mentally disabled

I think it's about a housewife who's sick of being abused and taken advantage of... Vegetable - placid, stationary.
