Cover art for World Sick lyrics by Broken Social Scene

at first, i thought he was saying "spoken detection," but i think you're right with "spoken detention." i also agree with "i get world sick every time i take a STAND."

i hear the "and" at the beginning of the last line of the first stanza, too, but i can't make out what he could be saying.

i'm uncertain about this line as well: "the exit the roof of the rule of what we'll be." this is a tough song to decipher. i almost think i hear: "the exit the rue filled rule of what will be"... but, honestly, i have no clue. i'm pulling that out of the air :)

and what's with the part about the dresses? i kept thinking i heard "...who'd never address this," or something about addressing something... because it made more sense to me, and i want to hear what i want to... but, alas, it really does sound like he's talking about dresses.

anyway, thanks for the lyrics, wehateyourhate. i definitely think this song is great. when the chorus kicks in, it's sooo good. i listen to my music way too loud, though.

I think the part about dresses is correct - more or less. I think it's a way of saying either that men have generated the world (more literal) or patriarchy even (more analytical interpretation).
