Cain Said to Abel Lyrics

Cover art for Cain Said to Abel lyrics by Bloc Party

I love this song and its cynical remarks at the "music icons" of today. Cain v. Abel, the bible brothers who killed themselves (though I'm not sure which one killed the other).

Basically, one is the music industry and the other is alluded to famous drinking singers, oh, lets just say Jon.

The lead singer Jon who goes out and parties everynight blowing his cash on hookers and beer then returns to the studio to record a CD or meaningless crap that the nation buys because its shoved down our throat.

This song tells the story of the self-obsessed sinner and relates them to Cain and Abel, basically killing the good of the music industry and the bad remains.

Though in the end they fade away and the new prodigy comes along to screw things up.

BRAVO BLOC PARTY, an amazing song in my opinion. As of right now it's my favorite but that will change soon, all there songs are all too good.
