I can't believe nobody commented on this song yet!:
All are so aligned in the drive to be right
We break out, we break out
Suppressing senses that see inwardly
Going down, going down
Only to be high on up
In this part I think John may be talking about how the drive to be succesful makes the artists deviate from their creative paths. He has always regarded commerciality as something evil or detrimental to his own creativity, so I think this could be the main idea here.
Then with “Calling after answered back, Bad temper needs a scolding” is he alluding to the episode of sabotaging Under the Bridge in SNL and how he was scolded right after?!
There are so many unanswered questions regarding these lyrics, but I particularly wonder about the following lines: “Ooh I let the cancer spread,Lord, it keeps me holy”.May he be referring to tobacco, drugs, or something more metaphorical which keeps him connected to pure art?!
