There must be something that we can eat, maybe find another lover
Should I fly to Los Angeles, find my asshole brother
Minnie mouse has grown up a cow, Dave's on sale again
Kissy-kiss in the rearview, we're so bored you're to blame
Try to see it once my way
Everything's zen, everything's zen, I don't think so
Everything's zen, everything's zen, I don't think so
Raindogs howl for the century, a million dollars a steak
as you search for your demi-god, and you fake with a saint
There's no sex in your violence, there's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence, there's no sex in your violence
Try to see it once my way
Everything's zen, everything's zen, I don't think so
Everything's zen, everything's zen, I don't think so
Everything's zen, everything's zen
I don't believe that Elvis is dead, yeah
I don't believe that Elvis is dead
I don't believe that Elvis is dead, yeah
I don't believe that Elvis is, Elvis is
There's no sex in your violence, there's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence, There's no sex in your vi-----olence
Try to see it once my way
Everything's zen, everything's zen, I don't think so
Try to see it once my way
Everything's zen, everything's zen, I don't think so
Zen
Zen
Well I don't think so, no I don't think so
Well I don't think so
Zen
Should I fly to Los Angeles, find my asshole brother
Minnie mouse has grown up a cow, Dave's on sale again
Kissy-kiss in the rearview, we're so bored you're to blame
Try to see it once my way
Everything's zen, everything's zen, I don't think so
Everything's zen, everything's zen, I don't think so
Raindogs howl for the century, a million dollars a steak
as you search for your demi-god, and you fake with a saint
There's no sex in your violence, there's no sex in your violence
There's no sex in your violence, there's no sex in your violence
Try to see it once my way
Everything's zen, everything's zen, I don't think so
Everything's zen, everything's zen, I don't think so
Everything's zen, everything's zen
I don't believe that Elvis is dead, yeah
I don't believe that Elvis is dead
I don't believe that Elvis is dead, yeah
I don't believe that Elvis is, Elvis is
There's no sex in your violence, there's no sex in your violence

He's not saying don't eat a burger or be a nun.
It's just that there has to be something more then being an animal looking for power caught in some fight or flight nightmare of always needing more things and stuff or pussy.
The demi-god thing, well I don't know anything about Gavin's religious views, but here's my perception of what he said. If anyone doesn't know, a demigod is a "god" coming from one human parent and one parent that's a god. And obvious stab at Christianity in my opinion. I think the point of it was that in our culture we try to justify so many things in the name of a god that we don't have any real evidence to their existence. "You fake with a saint". We claim to be so good and pure with the holier than thou mentality. Religion, especially modern religion and how it is interpreted and followed is a sham. The pope, priests, preachers etc, are "saints" in our eyes. Yet they are blindly following grossly outdated values and a dogma full of contradictions. I didn't come here for a religious debate and I don't know Gavin's religious beliefs, but this makes perfect sense with the rest of the song and I tend to agree.
And while Kurt may have thought he was smart referencing Buddhism in his band's name, he didn't realize Gavin could easily copy him with the title of his first single.
This song is in every way an overly self-conscious mimmic of the Cobain approach:
- disjointed, non-linear, veiled meaning
- expression of boredom, anger, angst, and antiestablishment views
- excessive repetition
- Quirky phrases
You really have to either turn it off or throw up by the time this asshole starts repeating, "I don't believe that Elvis is dead."
"Another quirky, cliched phrase," indeed. Fuck Gavin. No doubt, he killed Kurt Cobain with this bush league garbage.
So those early comments are now 8 years old. To see the progression as the years go by. up to February of 2010. I think of this post as a message in a bottle. 1) will anyone read it? and 2) when ? a month from now ? and year from now ? Will people still be listening to Bush ? Or will they fade like many of the bands of the past. Only time will tell.

"I love this song, but maybe fuck you Gavin, you're going to hell, I don't know for sure, but maybe you're a stupid London asshole! But this song is awesome."
