I think Jack writes lyrics like Anthony KEidis from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. They just are not meant to make sense to us.
I disagree with teh communism idea, this song has nothing to do with class and stuff. I'm sorry i just don't think so.
I do think that this song is about his life. His mom having a new baby and him feeling in the background. Like the new baby took all the glory. I think he was feeling some hostility to it. "cause i stopped it/grabbed a rag doll and stuck some pins in it" he might have beaten this baby, or intimidated it with this doll.
But onto the the 'now we're a family' part of the song. He's grown up with his mom and 'baby'. He's not as angry with 'baby' anymore so thier sort of stable.
'The hardest button to button' might be his dad or something. Maybe he left the family when the mom was going to have the baby, that's why the started living in a old house. They had nowhere else to go. So his anger to 'baby' could be couped up from his dad. I dunno.
But i thinkt he hardest button to button might mean 'hard to swallow'. It's hard to swallow that his dad is gone, or left. But he's just saying that alot it's hard to get over a parent gone(as hard as it is to button that top button) but still, you get over it (get it buttoned)
I dunno. HE might have had a true story in this song, but changed the lyrics into these sort of silmiles and metaphors to makes sure we wouldn't figure this song out and thus, keep listening to try to figure it out. (jack you sly devil you ::wink wink::)
