Hot Like Ebola!!!: slacking off

Alright, so maybe I haven't been as prolific lately as a could be. I've been busy!

As I was driving down to have b-fast with Gravy and Jazzy this morning, I noticed that Matt had left his iPod in the car. I figured out how to turn it on with it's radio tuner dealie, and was happily listening to Cake. One of the songs off their newest album is called "Take It All Away". I had heard this song a few times, and was always amused by this line:

"Take your economy car and your suitcase,
Take your psycho little dogs"

I assumed, like many Cake songs, that this was a song about social class or politics.

Today, I listened to the whole song, and these are the lyrics:

You keep pushing me away
In spite of what you say
I found out yesterday
That I've been wasting all my time
Trying to make you smile
Trying to make this seem worth...
While you've been pushing me around
In spite of what I do
Trying to make things good for...

You take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away

You've been racing through my mind
You're picking up in speed
You're driving recklessly
It's like a car crash happening on my street
Broken bodies at my feet
And sirens on the way
They're too late
'Cause nobody's going to save us
We're a rubbernecker's dream
We're burning gasoline

Go take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away
And go
Go ahead and destroy this
Better come with an army
Are you feeling feeling okay baby?

Na-na-na-na-na-na
Take your economy car and your suitcase
Take your psycho little dogs
Take it all away

Sad.
