"This way of life is so devised
To snuff out the mind that moves
Moving with grace the men despise
And women have learned to lose
Throw off your shame or be
a slave to the system"
Computers? Get off the crack!
This song is about rebelling against the everyday system of the world through acts of love, perhaps of a rather physical kind. It's about the same thing as the free-love idea of the 1960s was about - if we can share our bodies freely, we can't be controlled by the system. Or to put it another way, the mental blocks and inhibitions that prevent our sexual instincts from running wild are the same ones that keep us politically, socially in chains.
Good song anyway, reminds me of the rock-iness and intelligent social commentary of 'Eternal Life.' I would have liked to hear a real, mixed-and-mastered studio cut of this one.
