Take The Skinheads Bowling Lyrics

Lyric discussion by pseudohendrix 

Cover art for Take The Skinheads Bowling lyrics by Camper Van Beethoven

This song for me is a general poke at racism and the white middle classes. The first verse is about the futility of religion and says that life continues in a kind of mundane way anyway. It also hints at the paranoia and complacency of suburbia.

The second verse is about racial stereotypes.

The last verse is a reference to Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech and bemoans how diluted the message has become.
