Cover art for South 2nd lyrics by CocoRosie

i think you are all reading too far into this. the song seems pretty straightforward:

a fight between two boys (same size/age) and everyone is watching

We don't need no baseball bats We don't need no silver ghats But we're gonna fight tonight Put up your dukes and fight Big brother's just standing on the side Watching you flex your pride But you know if they all jump in Big brother's got your skin

they're having a fist fight with no weapons, the only thing to do with baseball is the use of baseball bats to beat people!
