as far as songs that send a great message of jacks, i think this one ranks up there with cookie jar, its amazing how he comes up with stuff.
by now it's starting to show
a number of people are numbers
who ain't coming home
i can close my eyes, it's still there
close my mind be alone
i could close my heart and not care
but gravity has got a hold on us all
it's a terrific price to pay
Above talks about the war and the toll it takes without people even noticing, i mean everyday on the news you hear of another person dead, and it has no meaning. one person dead is a tragedy, a thousand dead is a statistic. i think thats what jack is getting at some.
we could say it's us against them
we can try but nobody wins
gravity has got a hold on us all
we try to put it out
but it's a growing flame
using fear as fuel
burning down our name
and it won't take too long
cause words all burn the same
and who we gonna blame now
i have to really give credit to jack, he sees things like the actually are, and puts it into words so well. I hope this song gets the recognition that cookie jar did, cause its definately just as good in my eyes...if not more meaningful to whats going on during the times right now....
