The Catch
Defying Despair: Unveiling Society's Catch
Lyrics
Meet my new friends:
Introducing new friends
One, a boxer
First friend is a boxer
Two, are senators
Second and third friends are senators
Three are lion tamers
Remaining friends are lion tamers with attractive appearances
All pretty faces
Highlighting their physical attractiveness
Together we'll save the world
Expressing a collective goal to save the world
From desperation and dismay
Mission to rescue the world from despair and unhappiness
Our house is under
Stating their house is facing a crisis
Water at the fault
Attributing water issues to a government fault
Of the government
Government's responsibility for the problem
They raise the point:
Government raises a point or argument
This city is a bad lover
Describing the city as a bad lover - hasty and inattentive
Too quick and inattentive
Critiquing the city for being quick and inattentive in relationships
Let's sink it and build ourselves over
Suggesting a drastic solution: sinking the city and rebuilding
How will we keep warm?
Pondering how to stay warm alone in beds
Alone in our beds
Reiterating the challenge of staying warm alone
How will we keep warm?
Questioning how to stay warm in individual towns
Alone in our towns?
Repeating the challenge of staying warm individually
Silly citizens
Addressing citizens as foolish or naive
You know there's a catch
Hinting at a hidden or deceptive aspect ("catch") known to citizens
