Cover art for Give The Mule What He Wants lyrics by Queens of the Stone Age

first off this definitely is a great jam..

Second, the meaning. I think hes talking about the system or society in the united states. In the sense that you have to go along with certain aspects of life .. ie go with the flow.. not like some conspiracy or something. im not really sure it changes in the song from some aspect of life to a rebellious anthem. as to the lyrics confusion

after he says

"Gonna sink it, make em think it's too late" He definitely says "Fuck em uppppppppp x2" in his style of singing then says "for your lone lone love fuck your lone lone love" as someone stated earlier.

For your lone lone for your lone for your lone*

you/mule want it you/mule want it sunday He'll eat it He'll eat it one day How long Do I wait Be the mule that you gotta be

Underwater, underwater one day Gonna sink it, make em think it's too late Fuck em up Fuck em up Be the mule that you gotta be
For your love for your lone for your love*
