Home Run King
Unveiling Truth: Gene Clark's Home Run King
Lyrics
Well I saw it clear today that we were all more than only refugees
Realization that everyone is more than just refugees, acknowledging a shared humanity.
And the heads of state called out all of their reserves
Leaders calling upon reserves to avoid World War III, indicating a global tension.
So they could postpone World War III
Efforts to prevent a major war by mobilizing reserves of power.
I can hear the morning crier yellin' read all about it here's the truth
Hearing the truth from a morning crier, contrasting roles as a newspaper boy or Babe Ruth.
You are either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe Ruth
Highlighting the binary roles in society, either a mere messenger or a significant figure like Babe Ruth.
Now how could we have been put upon this planet
Reflecting on the existence of humanity and questioning our purpose on Earth.
Fools enough to think that we could be
Criticizing the folly of thinking humans could be the first to form a civilized society from the charismatic sea.
The first to form a civilized involvement from the charismatic sea
Questioning the arrogance of assuming superiority in creating a civilized society.
There's a ten year old in the alley
Observing a ten-year-old in the alley, playing with a hard ball, symbolizing the harsh reality.
Throws a hard ball off the wall that is the truth
Recognizing the truth that one is either a messenger or a significant figure like Babe Ruth.
He knows you're either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe Ruth
Reiterating the dichotomy of roles, emphasizing the newspaper boy or Babe Ruth identity.
The home run king
Mentioning the "home run king," possibly alluding to achieving greatness in life.
We can all dream up some explicit rationalized dream
Encouraging imagination and dreaming about one's identity and purpose.
Of exactly who we are
Acknowledging the diverse interpretations and rationalizations of individual dreams.
While the rockin' rolling home run king
Describing the dynamic "rockin' rolling home run king" and their influence.
Keeps the black Madonna sleepin' with a star
Symbolic imagery of the black Madonna sleeping with a star, possibly representing unique connections.
Now it doesn't matter how much bread you can spend
Emphasizing that material wealth doesn't determine importance, using "bread" metaphorically.
So you can hold the center booth
Stating that societal roles don't matter much, whether holding the center booth or not.
You are either just the newspaper boy or you're either Babe Ruth
Reiterating the dichotomy of roles, emphasizing the newspaper boy or Babe Ruth identity.
