Carbon Monoxide Lyrics

Cover art for Carbon Monoxide lyrics by Cake

It's not really about pollution. -_- When has cake ever been that easy, unless they were covering another song?

"I wish I was in that Mercedes-Benz Sealed away from my sins"

"I wish I wasn't just a pedestrian Breathing all this in"

I'm just taking a guess, but it seems to have something to do with the rich and the poor. Or maybe even how corrupt society is (the same thing as the pollution idea, but a little more general), and that he wishes he were rich and he didn't have to worry about the sins of humanity.

shrugs Maybe I'm over-analyzing it, but the sins line seems to lead me to believe that it isn't just about air pollution, even if that may be what inspired the song.
