Poor Jackie Lyrics

Lyric discussion by j.kenealy 

Cover art for Poor Jackie lyrics by Man Man

"there ain't no god here far as i can see your god of hope and life never did nothing straight by me"

thats my favorite bit off the whole albulm :D except for maybe a few lines from rabbit habbits

but that sums up how i think perfectly

i can't tell theirs a god here but if there is one he's doing a pretty shitty job =/

other then that i and no one else have really commented on hte meaning but o well

so if there is a god he is doing a shitty job? let me guess...

  • You don't have a toilet seat made out of solid gold.
  • Your not rich.
  • You have no girls in your life.
  • Your grandma is dead
  • Your not rich.
  • Your grandpa is dead.
  • You have daddy problems.
  • FUCK OFF YOUR ALIVE, quit complaining that god doesn't shower you with gifts. Your alive and you at least have a computer! Go take your complaints to a third world country you whiny asshole.

    Not to open a circular and stupid can of worms, but wouldn't the fact that those in a third world country (I'm going to assume you mean the disease and poverty stricken ones) exist provide more sway toward j.kenealy's view of a god doing a shitty job? Take your condescending crap elsewhere, please.

    Either way, it's a terrific song. Long, dark, and true. I can't provide much insight past what seems obvious about the songs meanings and intentions, though. Like a lot of Man Man's lyrics, it's packed to the rim with witty, brutal, and eerily self-mutilating lines that build...
