Speed Racer Lyrics

Cover art for Speed Racer lyrics by Devo

I really am not sure what this song is about. But I'll attempt to interpret.

"i'm speed racer and i drive real fast he's speed racer and he drives real fast drive real fast, i'm gonna last" Dealing with sex? A guy who's "drives" fast, and lasts long? I really don't know :S.

"i'm a big pirate and i like to steal he's a big pirate and he likes to steal i like to steal and i like to kill go go go speed racer" A big pirate who likes to steal and kill? lol.

"i'm a barbie doll but i got brains she's a barbie doll but she got brains i've got brains and i like sex she's got brains and she likes sex" A mockery of a stupid girl who THINKS she's smart, but is dumb and has promiscuous sex?

"i'm your doctor and here's the bill he's your doctor and here's your bill doctor steel and here's your pills he likes to steal so here's the bill " I think it's saying that it's not right for us to pay for healthcare. Therefore doctors "steal".

The next part I'm making up without actual support from the lyrics, but I think it could be a possible meaning. Speed Racer and the Barbie Doll had sex and she got pregnant. Barbie Doll was the Big Pirate's girlfriend, and he wants to kill Speed Racer since he found out, hence the "Go Go Go Speed Racer!" The doctor gives her an abortion.

Yeah... I really don't know... I might be looking too deep. I really hope someone else comes in with their own interpretation.
