Lyrics
We're all prosperous and proud to be
We are all prosperous and take pride in it
With our holiday photos and our tickets for speed
Displaying our vacation pictures and tickets for high-speed events
Having kitchens installed for a family
Installing kitchens for a family
And once in a while for making love
Occasionally setting up for moments of intimacy
Look at her eyes, they're so eager and dead
Observing her eager yet lifeless eyes as she dances, seemingly prepared for bed
As she dances for you, more than ready for bed
Accepting that it's fine on a Tuesday night to drink and engage in activities by 5 AM
But it's alright on a Tuesday night
Expressing the acceptance of certain behaviors on specific nights
To drink up and hit it at five
Justifying the act of drinking and engaging in activities early in the morning
It's the new gold in fact
Referring to a new form of wealth or lifestyle
It will keep us all intact
Believing that this new wealth will preserve us
As long as our eyes are all closed
As long as we remain oblivious to the dangers we've escaped
To the coals that we just fled
Ignoring the troubles we've left behind
You can relax
Encouraging relaxation due to a sense of security
Cause we're safe behind
Feeling safe and protected
Behind the Bush
Behind the metaphorical "Bush," a symbol of safety or security
We're in love we're all occupied
Being in love and occupied with multiple lovers
With our 200 lovers in a fast moving line
Having a large number of lovers in a rapid succession
It's a need you cannot deny
Recognizing it as a need that cannot be denied
It's something to straighten your spine
Something that invigorates or strengthens your spirit
Now we know that grim reaper's on our side
Acknowledging the inevitability of death but feeling protected
We can turn to the papers and watch for the fight
Turning to media and distractions to escape reality
Man it's warm let's just sleep outside
Suggesting a carefree attitude, opting to sleep outdoors
And see how the sky reflects our fire
Observing how the sky reflects the warmth of their fire
It's the new gold in fact
Reiterating the concept of this new form of wealth
It will keep us all intact
Believing it will safeguard us, as long as we remain oblivious
As long as our eyes are all closed
As long as we keep our eyes closed to the dangers we've escaped
To the coals that we just fled
Ignoring the troubles we've left behind, again emphasizing the new wealth
It's the new gold in fact
Reiterating the idea that this new wealth can keep us intact
That can keep us all intact
As long as we remain oblivious to the dangers we've escaped
As long as our eyes are all closed
Emphasizing the importance of keeping eyes closed to past troubles
To the coals that we just fled
Ignoring the difficulties that have been left behind
You can relax
Encouraging relaxation due to a perceived distance from problems
Cause it's far away
Feeling safe because the issues are far away
We're safe behind
Being protected and secure, symbolized by being "Behind the Bush"
Behind the Bush
Reiterating the sense of safety and security
