Story Behind The Song

The mood of the song is inspired by Tom Waits' "Time".

Song Description

The basic feel of this song is revolution by evolutionary backsliding. It suggests that we as human beings make ourselves miserable serving the laws, rules and societal machines we created to keep us in line and/or occupy us. Why not throw a wrench in the gears and start living life instead of serving it? It would lead to a breakdown of society as we know it, but who gives a fuck.

Lyrics

Wouldn't that be sight to see
A gathering of everyone in this whole city
We'd shout out from the rooftops to eachother
And pour expensive wine into the streets

We'd all get drunk and stumble into someone else's home
We'd be warm there and sleep in our neighbor's beds
If only this sleepy little city hadn't slept so long
That we all thought for sure that it was dead

And in the morning when the sun comes up behind the buildings
With all their windows open wide and doors unlocked
We'd look at one another and just wonder
Just exactly what was coming over us

Wouldn't that be a sight to see
A gathering of everyone in this whole city
We'd shout out from the rooftops to eachother
And pour expensive wine into the streets

There'd be no making love, but there'd be fucking
Cause that's all anybody really wants anyway
You can fool yourself into thinking otherwise
Or you can get this whole charade underway

And in the moring we'd all call in sick to our jobs
Cause we'd be basking in the warmth of human being
And every shirt and tie we own would feed the moths
And then we'd see the end of the machine
