i'm not really here to discuss white v black or america v england. i'm just here to discuss the song meaning and that's what i'm going to do.
well, i'm not 100% sure of what this song is about, but from what i've heard i don't think it's partically litterally about George W Bush. actually, really i sort of do. that's confusing... but tbh i really think it is her singing about God, but it's sort of aimed at George. argh. let me explain.
Would you please take me away from this place
I cannot bear to see the look upon your faces
And if there is some kind of god do you think he's pleased
When he looks down on us I wonder what he sees
when God looks down at us, what does he see? as in, does he see a nicely run earth or a broken society?
Do you think he'd think the things we do are a waste of time
Maybe he'd think we are getting on just fine
Do you think he's skint or financially secure
And come election time I wonder who he'd vote for
who does he (God) think is right in this situation, as in is George right? who would he vote for? would he be supporting George in his actions?
Ever since he can remember people have died in his good name
Long before that September
Long before hijacking planes
He's lost the will he can't decide
He doesn't know who's right or wrong
But there's one thing that he's sure of this has been going on too long
a lot of people have died in his (God's) name before 9/11, before all of those big disasters. he has no idea who is right here, is it George? (sorry i'm not mentioning anyone else apart from George, i honestly don't know much about politics and such.) but one thing he definatly does know is that this whole distruction and war has been going on wayyyy too long.
Do you think he'd drive in his car without insurance
Now is he interesting or do you think he'd bore us
Do you think his favourite type of human is caucasian
the car insurance thing i'm not too sure about, but maybe she's saying is he (God) really that perfect like George wants us to be? & the caucasian thing - that's a bit obvious, is he for or against racism?
Do you reckon he's ever been done for tax evasion
Do you think he's any good at remembering people's names
Do you think he's ever taken smack or cocaine
I don't imagine he's ever been suicidal
His favourite band is Creedence Clearwater Revival
the smack & cocaine, the suicidal thing and the tax thing is the same as the car insurance thing in my opinion (keep in mind i have no idea what evasion means...) & the names thing, i don't know. & i don't know anything about Creedence Clearwater Revival so i can't really say anything there.
yeah, that's my opinion on the song. i'm not religious, but i'm just saying what i think Lily is trying to say. i honestly don't know. anyway, i hope i was a help in some way...
