Lyric discussion by Rabid 

Cover art for Brain Gallop lyrics by Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks

trying to analyze Malkmus lyrics is a futile effort, because I feel like they're really just how the words/phrases sound together rather than what they're supposed to say. that said, the first two lines seem pretty politically charged, especially considering that this song follows "Senator."

that said, I love the shit out of this song.
