Posse Bonus Lyrics

Cover art for Posse Bonus lyrics by Tori Amos

She has talked a lot in interviews regarding the release of ADP about the idea that the right wing in America today is using the people and how the establishment feeds people false ideas, and that the best way to combat that is to have your own belief system and alternative values strongly defined.

This song is light and playful and seems innocuous, but it's really the defining meaning of the whole ADP album in one song - it's the posse's message - burrow your way to freedom through the BS that is being fed us through the media and politics, feed your head (be smart, find out the truth for yourself, inform yourself), "mind your doubts, they harvst them" - this means to be careful because right wing fanatics will literally harvest your doubts in order to plant hate or fear in your mind, playing on your doubts.

I also think the blatant reference to Laura is amusing.
