People Got A Lot Of Nerve Lyrics
So the saying says, "An elephant never forgets."
Standing in the concrete cage Swaying side, saying They looked over the ocean Their dreams they dreamed awake Until the lights grew dim, until the cop cars came Everybody tells me this is crazy Yes, I know, that I'm a man, man, man Man, man, man eater But still you're surprised-prised-prised when I eat ya We know They call them killer whales But you seem surprised When it pinned you down to the bottom of the tank Where you can't turn around It took half your leg, and both your lungs And I craved I ate hearts of sharks I know you know, that I'm a man, man, man Man, man, man eater But still you're surprised-prised-prised when I eat ya Yes, I'm a man, man, man Man, man, man eater But still you're surprised-prised-prised when I eat ya It will end again in bullets from... It will end again in bullets from...

So the saying says
An elephant never forgets
Standing in the concrete cage
Swaying silent, saying
They walked over the ocean
And their dreams, they dreamed awake
Until the lights grew dim
Until the cop cars came
Everybody tells me this is crazy
Yes, I know it
I'm a man, man, man
Man, man, man eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised
When I eat ya
We know
They call them killer whales
But you seem surprised
When I've been deep down
To the bottom of the tank
Where you can't turn around
They took half your leg
And both your lungs
And I craved, I ate hearts of sharks
I know you know it
I'm a man, man, man
Man, man, man eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised
When I eat ya
Yes, I'm a man, man, man
Man, man, man eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised
When I eat ya
It will end again in bullets from....
It will end again in bullets from....

I never got the whole groupie thing until I saw Neko Case in concert. She is something else.

Man, man, man eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised when I eat ya"
--I think this song is about (wild) animals that attack humans and how surprised we (humans) are that such an attack took place, as if we think we're immune to such attacks.
"It will end again in bullets from....
It will end again in bullets from...."
--I interpret this to mean the killing of the animal once it attacked a human. Some animals are too strong to fight off (elephant, whale) so you have to shoot/kill them in order to save the person it's attacking.

My first assumption about this song is that when she sings "I'm a man-eater..." she's speaking from a human female perspective and not a Lioness, but I suppose the metaphor works both ways...

"It will end again in bullets fired"?

We know
They call them killer whales
But you seem surprised
When it pinned you down to the bottom of the tank
Where you can't turn around
It took half your leg, and both your lungs
And I craved I ate hearts of sharks
I know you know, that I'm a man, man, man
Man, man, man eater
But still you're surprised-prised-prised when I eat ya
Those lines make me think of how people do things they know are bad for them, but they crave it, and do it anyway. Things like smoking or heavy drugs, or even just things like obesity. I know smoking a pack of cigs a day is probably going to end up with negitive effects for me, but i crave them and keep buying them. Well should I be suprised then when that happens?
