Lyrics
We dropped the ball,
We failed or made a mistake.
It rolled away,
The mistake continued or progressed.
Down a hill,
It worsened, going downhill.
Onto the freeway,
The situation moved onto a larger, more dangerous path (freeway).
We didn't look,
We didn't pay attention.
We got run over,
As a result, we faced consequences, possibly symbolized by being run over.
We died and rotted
We experienced a significant setback or failure.
We decomposed.
We decayed or fell apart.
We became fuel
We transformed into a resource.
For future human
We became fuel for the advancement of humanity.
Flying cars
Reference to futuristic technology like flying cars.
Our remains
Our remains or legacy.
Will quench their
Our legacy will satisfy their needs.
Thirsty engines
They will benefit from our mistakes.
They'll get gas
They will succeed or perish in the process.
Or die trying...
They will either achieve their goals or face failure.
We swallowed the olive, man, we blew it...
We made a critical error or failed in a significant way.
We Baptized our Super-Sized Babies in embalming fluid...
A dark or satirical comment on how society handles death.
With squirt guns...
An absurd image of a ritual involving Super-Sized Babies.
We dropped the ball
Repetition of the earlier mistake or failure.
It rolled away
Continuation of the consequences.
Behind the couch
The mistake hidden or ignored.
It gathered dust
Accumulation of neglect or disregard.
The soot of lives
The residue of people's lives.
We put our feet up
We relaxed or were indifferent.
On the table
Indulgence or negligence.
Which was embossed
The surface we interacted with, marked by death.
With dead skin
A reminder of mortality.
The soot of lives
The residue of lives, emphasizing consequences.
We were scared
We were fearful or anxious.
We bought plastic
We resorted to artificial protection.
Furniture covers
Symbolic items representing a desire for safety.
And jogging suits
Additional measures to shield ourselves from danger.
To protect us from the bulldozers
Protecting ourselves from inevitable destruction.
Jesus Christ is my American Idol!
Expression of admiration or reverence for Jesus Christ.
He's the Brand New Funky President!
Reference to Jesus as a modern cultural icon.
Victory is certain, this much is certain,
Confident assertion of victory.
And if it's not you can always
If failure occurs, there's an opportunity for a fresh start.
Start the video game over....
A metaphor for restarting or resetting life.
Squirt Guns filled with pig's blood, for real
A shocking or grotesque image, possibly representing deception.
We're winning...
A paradoxical statement, suggesting success despite apparent failures.
