Lyrics
There's a strange new breed, a kind of homebrew
Introducing a peculiar and unconventional group, described as a "homebrew."
Their apathy curdles
Their indifference becomes sour or unpleasant.
They gotta be there see that
Emphasizing the need for their presence and participation.
Do their darling chit chat
Engaging in superficial conversation or small talk.
Climb up your own pedestal
Suggesting arrogance or self-importance, urging self-reflection.
What's happened to them over there?
Raising a question about the experiences of the mentioned group.
It's safe down here
Contrasting the safety of the current situation with the unknown experiences of others.
What's up with that hole up there?
Pondering the significance of an inaccessible space or opportunity.
It's too far away to see
Highlighting the challenge of perceiving distant or unfamiliar circumstances.
There's a strange new breed, a kind of homebrew
Reiterating the presence of this unique group, emphasizing its relatability.
It could be you or me
Indicating that anyone could be part of this distinctive group.
I know I sit next to him on the bus
Personal connection with a member of the "homebrew" group.
His tie firmly in place, his destination secure
Describing a person with a secure and conventional lifestyle.
Down his tunnel through his tunnel in his bubble
Emphasizing a narrow, isolated perspective and routine.
With his bible in his bubble
Symbolizing a closed-minded or dogmatic attitude, using "bible" metaphorically.
With his bible in his bubble
Repetition for emphasis on the closed-off mentality.
What's gonna give?
Prompting a question about the breaking point or change.
Do we have to shake you?
Suggesting a need for a wake-up call or a disruptive event.
When will your nine to five be broken open?
Questioning the monotony of a standard work routine.
What's gonna give?
Repeating the question, urging receptiveness to experienced perspectives.
When will you listen to those who've seen this cycle before?
Highlighting the importance of listening to those who have witnessed similar patterns in the past.
'45 wasn't that long ago
Reflecting on the recent past, possibly a historical reference (1945).
'45 wasn't that long ago
Repeating the idea that the referenced period wasn't too long ago.
