Barbed Wire Tennis Court
Unveiling the Rigged Game: Barbed Wire Reflections
Lyrics
Rolling the dice
Contemplating uncertainty or taking risks
Let someone above me decide
Relinquishing control and letting a higher authority decide
Stop to think twice
Pausing to reconsider actions or decisions
A breathtaking genocide
Describing a shocking and widespread destruction
The coin that's flipped
Highlighting the arbitrary nature of decision-making
Has heads on both the sides
Suggesting a situation where there's no real choice or chance
The game is rigged
Indicating an unfair or manipulated situation
Not by mistake but by design
Implies that the rigged system is intentional
Barbed wire tennis court
Metaphor for a restricted and controlled environment
Barbed wire tennis court
-Barbed wire tennis court
-Barbed wire tennis court
-Put my paper in the box
Submitting something for consideration or judgment
Did it get tossed
Questioning whether a submission was ignored or discarded
Handcuffed to the clock
Feeling constrained by time or obligations
But that comes at a cost
Acknowledging that freedom comes with a price
Guilt from spending time unwinding
Experiencing guilt for taking time to relax
Today that's barely law abiding
Engaging in activities that may be borderline legal
Protests about the earth dying
Referencing protests against environmental issues
Newspapers keen to deny it
Highlighting media bias or denial of environmental problems
Barbed wire tennis court
Reiteration of the metaphor for a constrained and controlled environment
Barbed wire tennis court
-Barbed wire tennis court
-Barbed wire tennis court
-The game is rigged
Reiterating the intentional manipulation of the system
Not by mistake but by design
Re-emphasizing the designed unfairness in the system
The coin that's flipped
Repeating the notion of lack of genuine choice or chance
Has heads on both the sides
Reiterating the arbitrary nature of decision-making
