Here To Go Lyrics
If you smell the smoke
You don't need to be told
What you got to do
Yet there's a certain breed
So very in between
They'd rather take a vote
Running short on time
Still they can't decide
but we already know
that we are here to go
We are here to go
We are here to go
We are here to go
We are here to go
What is really mine
who's at the top of the pile
where does he draw the line
let them figure it out
go on and step across
just remind yourselves
that we are here to go
when it grows to long
the tail wags the dog
the hand that bites gets fed
troubles multiply
the crowd begins to cry
for some common sense
let them all begin
when the odds are no win
head for the nearest door
'cause we are here to go.
we are here to go
we are here to go
we are here to go
we are here to go
What is really mine
who's at the top of the pile
where does he draw the line
let them figure it out
go on and step across
just remind yourselves
that we are here to go
go!
You don't need to be told
What you got to do
So very in between
They'd rather take a vote
Still they can't decide
but we already know
that we are here to go
We are here to go
We are here to go
We are here to go
who's at the top of the pile
where does he draw the line
let them figure it out
go on and step across
just remind yourselves
that we are here to go
the tail wags the dog
the hand that bites gets fed
troubles multiply
the crowd begins to cry
for some common sense
when the odds are no win
head for the nearest door
'cause we are here to go.
we are here to go
we are here to go
we are here to go
who's at the top of the pile
where does he draw the line
let them figure it out
go on and step across
just remind yourselves
that we are here to go

Who the aych cares what this song's about. It is one of the greatest meaningless songs of all time. Mssrs. Mothersbaugh and Casale, musical geniuses you both are, I do not wish to suggest 'meaningless' equates to 'worthless.'
Quite the contrary.
Some songs I don't want to have to think about, figure out, or interpret. I simply want to put my headphones on, turn the volume all the way up, rest my head back, close my eyes and simply enjoy. To marvel at the synthesized wizardry mashed with infectious pop. An extended-version mix you wish never ended.
The fact that there have been ZERO comments for a song that is nearly 35 years old is either perfectly poetic or tragically sad. And yet maybe it's because Here To Go is a song from another dimension not even released yet and like the group that sings still, after all these years, way ahead of their time...and timeless at the same time.
(Oh, but if you insist, I'm guessing the song lyrics have something to do with the fact that we are men, and women, of action, all born to not merely exist but to get shit done. We are here to GO GO GO G-G-G-GOOO!)
I effing love this song.
@tdnsexy1 I disagree with your analysis. The song is about how ACTION is better than THOUGHT. When your house is on fire, you don't need to stop and think, or conduct a vote on what to do, you just need to RUN. Go with your gut - don't overthink. Just GO!
