I'm called a cow
I'm not about
To blow it now
For all the cows
It's funny how money allows all to browse
And be endowed
This wish is true it falls into pieces new
The cow is you
My kind has all run out, as if kinds could blend
Some time if time allows, everything worn in
Like it's a friend
I said you're all a painted doll and it caused
The walls to fall
How far is he?
Impatiently
That's as far as far can be
I'm not about
To blow it now
For all the cows
It's funny how money allows all to browse
And be endowed
This wish is true it falls into pieces new
The cow is you
My kind has all run out, as if kinds could blend
Some time if time allows, everything worn in
Like it's a friend
I said you're all a painted doll and it caused
The walls to fall
How far is he?
Impatiently
That's as far as far can be

even surreal. like i dont know what kind of books you or even dave reads but theres some books like Waiting for Godot and The Dumb Waiter that are a bit surreal. the whole FF record is sort of brown. i dont know what that means tho and anyway my point is. it sounds to me like this guy who's been like a big kid his entire life (sort of like What's My Age Again? by Blink-182) and he just got home from a long day out and he probably had an argument with some friend and hes home tired stretching their back on the bed alone and they look at their lamp and out of the window and start to overthink life and stuff so its just very weird. i literally dont know what the song or anything i said means lol but i think its sort of about thinking those things and even growing up?????????????? scratch that
Enjoy chewing your cuds, everyone...
Dave was mistakenly identified as a cow. Not wanting to blow the gig for the other cows, he decides to play along.
It's funny how
money allows
all to browse
and be endowed
This means that money can buy anything
the wish is true
it falls into
pieces new the cow is you
His personality changes as he gets famous
My kind has all run out
as if kinds could blend
some time if time allows
everything worn in
like its a friend
Good rock bands are running out and that his time with Nirvana is like a "friend"
I said you're all
a painted doll
and it caused
the walls to fall
i think he called someone in the band something and it caused the band to fight
how far is he?
impatiently
thats as far as far could be
i don't know what this means
Dave is calling himself a Cash Cow, a term executives use for a product that has limited investment and continues to provide strong profits.
The next line seems to be saying "sacarstically" I won't rock the boat, and do what ever the execs want me to do.
Funny how...Because the executives are rich they are right.
the cow is you...Not really sure what he is saying here.
The next verse is straight forward, he is a dying breed where he takes control of his music and not the recorod execus.
As Reqos stated above, he will not comprise to become a Cash Cow for the company.
i always thought it was kind of about Courtney Love, i've always thought of her as a cow?
