Anything Lyrics
This is my 45th depressing tune
They're looking for money
As they clean my artistic womb
And when I give birth to the child
I must take to flight
'Cause the black in our pocket
Won't let us fight a proper fight
So, hey baby, can you shed some light
On the problem, maybe?
'Cause we're all tired and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign
But anything would be fine
We're all told to dance but we never picked the tune
Hanging like puppets
They feed us from bent steel spoons
But we're sealing our lips for the someday
When the needle and the vinyl play
All the songs of the pain
Songs that explain all our circles and strains
So, hey baby, can you shed some light
On the problem, maybe?
'Cause we're all crying and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign
But anything would be fine
We're all dying and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show
"Yes, we should like to see you pack your tents
Shut down your show,"
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign
But anything would be fine
Oh, anything would be fine
They're looking for money
As they clean my artistic womb
And when I give birth to the child
I must take to flight
'Cause the black in our pocket
Won't let us fight a proper fight
On the problem, maybe?
'Cause we're all tired and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign
But anything would be fine
Hanging like puppets
They feed us from bent steel spoons
But we're sealing our lips for the someday
When the needle and the vinyl play
All the songs of the pain
Songs that explain all our circles and strains
On the problem, maybe?
'Cause we're all crying and we'd like to know
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign
But anything would be fine
If we should pack our tents, shut down the show
"Yes, we should like to see you pack your tents
Shut down your show,"
Yes, we should like to see a burning bush-type sign
But anything would be fine
Oh, anything would be fine

This is about how they write the songs for the sake of writing the music, but they are asked as professionals to constantly crank out hits (they're looking for money as they clean my artistic womb) and when they write songs, they have to sell them because they can't afford not to (and when I give birth to the child i must take to flight cause the black in ouf pocket won't let us fight a proper fight) and they're sick of the commercialism and want to make a difference, but they don't know if they ever will, and they want a "sign" to see if they ever will (we're all tired and we'd like to know if we should pack up our tents shut down the show). The second verse is about being controlled by the record companies but not saying anything because its a sacrifice they have to make to get their music out there.
