This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
I want to believe in myself once again
So I dream of a man whose hopes never end
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth
And for every tear that is lost from an eye
I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy
I want to believe in a freedom that's bold
But all I remember is the freedom of old (Hey!)
Well, I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane
Flew all the way to California, yeah
This mess in my head is a mess getting out
Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout
But after a while, when my mouth's not so dry
I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head
'Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people left standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
The buildings they shake, but my heart, it beats still
Oh, mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
I want to go home where my feet both feel safe
But there ain't no jobs in the old free state
So I must remain in my new adopted land
I'm doing the best, hell I'm doin' all I can
So next time you see me, don't ask for my name
For I am the king and sure long may I reign
'Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people left standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people left standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
So I dream of a man whose hopes never end
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth
And for every tear that is lost from an eye
I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy
I want to believe in a freedom that's bold
But all I remember is the freedom of old (Hey!)
Well, I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane
Flew all the way to California, yeah
This mess in my head is a mess getting out
Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout
But after a while, when my mouth's not so dry
I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head
'Cause I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people left standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
The buildings they shake, but my heart, it beats still
Oh, mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
I want to go home where my feet both feel safe

Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people left standing in their shoe
Down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule
As thousands they grieve as the Black Friday rule

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Here's from Wikipedia: In history there have been a number of events known as Black Friday
Black Friday (1869) - a stock market crash in the United States Black Friday (1919) - a riot in Glasgow stemming from industrial unrest Black Friday (1939) - a day of devastating fires in Australia Black Friday (1978) - a massacre of protesters in Iran Black Friday (1982) - known in Britain after Argentina invaded the Falkand Islands, sparking the Falklands War
The most common usage of Black Friday is for the day after Thanksgiving, which is the biggest shopping day of the year. It's called Black Friday because the retail businesses go from "the red" (making a loss) to "the black" (a profit). Generally the day represents consumerism.
