| After that lengthy but wonderful analysis, I feel too simplistic in saying, "You took the words right out of my mouth." | |
| Incubus – Thieves Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Without opening any cans of worms, I believe this is a democratic/liberal view or angle about the government and the people that run it. (Not that these are my personal views. I'm just trying to describe how I would explain it.) Initially, I thought this was about immigration being a problem, but then after a few more times, it sounds like it's coming from the other angle, in a sense. I think Incubus is trying to say that the people who work really hard or the most, get the most taken away, unrightfully and are waiting for their piece of the pie, by saying: "When will I get mine? Or must I be a god-fearing, white American? " In addition, we are being sold or offered things we already deserve or worked for in the first place. (I believe that it applies to people in all walks of life, not just a specific race/ethnicity within our country.) I get that from the verse: "Why should the thieves have all of the fun? Selling us water by the river, they don't speak for everyone I'm ready to run and you're making me crawl Selling me water by the river, they don't speak for me at all " This verse caught my attention the most, and I think that it means that there is good and bad in us all, even those 'in charge' or the people we think are so great and iconic that we look up to. Kind of like, we-all-bleed-the-same-color: "The man about the town The beauty queen, the paragon of civilization But shadows cling to us all Even those convinced that they're sheltered and immune." |

| @WavinGerbs I'm SO glad to know I'm not the only one! In '93 I jammed out to this, I was 6, then when I was 8, I was like, "huh?!" | |
