Cover art for Smaller And Smaller lyrics by Faith No More

I'd guess, figuring in Mike Patton's sense of humor at the time--seems like the first line sums it up. "Drought makes the workers dream." He's writing about people being happy to work, happy to slave. The kind of job in demand when things are bad. When things go well, theyre out of work. The rain comes and it gives them a vacation, but, it leaves them out of a job. just seems to be the kinda idea Mike Patton drooled over...like malpractice.
