I recently read other interpretations and I happened to agree. But mine is a little different. I also think its about the talboids,celebs, etc....
Mountains of molehills
(all the mansions and big houses in hollywood)
A grapevine in my ear
(the speaker hearing about what the celebs are up to)
Spots on the tiger
While the townspeople gather to hear
(everyones wants to hear updates on celebs)
While the nests in my hands starve for rest
(i work hard to make ends meat, this will make sense in a little bit)
Sticklers for cheap fun
You oughta be ashamed
To trade in your heirlooms
For an all-day black market parade
(famous people do stupid things and make themselves look like idiots, and take their money for granted)
For a grand prize, a slap in the face
For you
Bold face type covers your text
It must have been winter
(talks about celebs in magazines)
Still frame, no dice
(paparazzi taking pictures to make money and sometimes dont get good pics)
Where do you get your evidence?
(a celeb wonder where the rumors are coming from)
Move back, stay still
(paparazzi still taking pics)
It takes a luminescent hue
(its takes the flash of a camera)
The wood, the crest
That's weaved outside your vest
(about the expensive clothes)
Still frame, no dice
Loons light the skyline
(all the lights from the big houses)
While you sleep on concrete
With both your eyes open
(you, a poor person, sleeps on a crappy bed and cant sleep b/c your worried about how you will pay bills)
I just kept pulling on both your feet
Someday, together, we'll breathe, breathe...
(the speaker trying to cheer you up and say we will be rich one day)
For you
Bold face type covers your text
It must have been winter

Move back, stay still
It takes a luminescent hue
The wood, the crest
That's weaved outside your vest
Still frame, no dice
Roll down the window
I know there's a shortcut ahead
(we can find a way to be rich)
The long drive home is taking its toll
We just need some rest... (oh yeah)
(about the rich people being home sick)
Still frame, no dice
Where do you get your evidence?
Move back, stay still
It takes a luminescent hue
The wood, the crest
That's weaved outside your vest
Still frame, no dice
I think the name of the song means that the poor people should have money and the rich people shouldnt, because they dont put it to good use. so i should be the other way around.
Well, why can't it be about both? It seems to me that Darroh writes a double meaning into the chorus:

This could be referencing simple celebrity life and the superficial-ism that comes along with that, but it also seems to paint a picture of a crime scene. To me it seems that he's referencing the Manson murders, he explains two sides of a story throughout the...
This could be referencing simple celebrity life and the superficial-ism that comes along with that, but it also seems to paint a picture of a crime scene. To me it seems that he's referencing the Manson murders, he explains two sides of a story throughout the song saying:

Darroh's songs are littered with these two-sided "dialogues" as I have started referring to the. There seems to be two in this song, one in the main chorus with a double meaning which could either be between a celebrity and paparazzi, or a prosecutor and defendant in court. The second dialogue is scattered throughout the song, and well represented in the two couples quoted above. It seems to be between Manson and what he perceived all of his victims, and all celebrities for that matter, thought. Anyways, that's what I got from it, I'm still looking for a somewhat direct reference to Manson, that would clinch it, so if anyone can find one reply back =].
