Some say the true meaning of the song is a memory of the race riots in Tulsa, where they are from, back in 1921. When "on the morning of June 1, the planes dropped incendiary bombs and fired rifles at black residents on the ground." hence the lyrics "You dropped a bomb on me, baby You dropped a bomb on me. I, II, III won't forget it "
