Story Behind The Song
This is one of those rare songs that seemed to "write itself". On the surface it's a call for social unity but in the spirit of many double entendres there is a not so hidden second meaning of engaging in sexual activity.
Song Description
A medium tempo (115) hard rock song with loud distorted guitar sections interspersed with heavily processed clean guitar during the verses. The story is a double entendre which can be interpreted as a call for social unity or a plea for sex.
