Cover art for Mayday!!! lyrics by Flobots

My favorite flobots song. just a few lines. "with a family to feed. there's nowhere we wont go" I think this means they spread benevolence anywhere it's needed.

"where the fuck are the rescue workers not far off pissing on a cop car in the hall with a poptart sipping liquor in the rockbar everyone climb to the frontline lunchtimes cancelled all hands on deck to pull survivors from the landfill onlookers passers-by brush of your shoulders shake off that rubble break free from your standstill" I think that's saying that you dont need any special qualifications to fight against the problems society may have. It's a call to action to try to make change instead of sitting idly by.

"sometimes when I wanna shut out this world wanna rip up this page wanna pour out this heart wanna get up on this stage and my lips become percussion and my fists become the rage and I pound on this table til it gives me something to say then I think about things that Ive seen right in front of me that I dont wanna believe gimme one of these mikes let me let em know" This line kind of explains the topics of a lot thier songs. They come from things Johnny 5 (or the members in general) see that need to be changed.

My Interpretation

rawr. good.
