Please could you stop the noise
I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that?
What's that?
When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that?
What's that?
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, squealing Gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height
Rain down, rain down
Come on, rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height
Rain down, rain down (that's it, sir, you're leaving, the crackle of pigskin)
Come on rain down on me (the dust and the screaming, the yuppies networking)
From a great height (the panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit)
God loves his children
God loves his children, yeah
I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that?
What's that?
When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's that?
What's that?
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, squealing Gucci little piggy
You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height
Rain down, rain down
Come on, rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height
Rain down, rain down (that's it, sir, you're leaving, the crackle of pigskin)
Come on rain down on me (the dust and the screaming, the yuppies networking)
From a great height (the panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit)
God loves his children
God loves his children, yeah

I've been thinking of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in relation to this song actually. Not only does the book have a character MArvinthe Paranoid Android, but there is also a line where the Guide descibe's a company whose opinion is not at all acurate, saying they will be "first against the wall when the revolution comes" anyone know if they are douglas adam's fans, or am I just reading too far into this?
that's immediately what I thought, actually. in the book, there is a point at which Zaphod calls Marvin "the Paranoid Android" ... and looking at these lyrics, I remember that quote as well.
I think you're reading to much into this. I love this song and the Hitch-Hikers' Guide, but I don't think there's a connection with that quote, as they are essentially about different things in my opinion.<br /> Although I definitely agree that 'Paranoid Android' refers to Douglas Adams' Marvin.
your reading into this too much, lol reading.<br /> <br /> but hey, i think the marketing division of the sirius cybernetics corporation have perfecteclty valid opinions about robots. they are your plastic pal who's funto be around!
@BlackEyedAngels not reading too much. Just reading. It's too much a coincidence - paranoid android, "first against the wall when the revolution comes", references to rain... It still has enough vagueness to allow people's own interpretation but I think there is a link to Hitchhiker's Guide.
