Lyrics
Why'd you have to tell me
Questioning the necessity of being informed
If you've already shown me
Expressing frustration that actions speak louder than words
Running from the things that
Avoiding or escaping from responsibilities
Don't even own me
Rejecting ownership of irrelevant or burdensome things
Does it mean anything?
Pondering the significance of a situation
Just brush it off
Advising to dismiss or ignore the issue
Why don't you give them a call?
Suggesting to seek assistance or guidance
They'll see that I have a plan
Confident in having a well-thought-out plan
In the end
Emphasizing that, ultimately, it won't matter
It doesn't even matter
Referencing the insignificance of the situation
At all to them
Indicating others' lack of concern
We own the water
Claiming ownership or control over a valuable resource
While they count the money
Highlighting the contrast between power and time
While the time, it passes
Noting the passing of time while engaged in mundane activities
I eat my sandwich
Engaging in a casual, everyday action amidst chaos
Why'd you have to tell me
Reiteration of questioning the need for information
If you've already shown me
Reiterating frustration with actions speaking louder
Running from the things
Reiterating avoidance of burdensome things
That don't even own me
Reiterating rejection of irrelevant ownership
Does it mean anything?
Repeating the contemplation of the situation's meaning
Just brush it off
Reiterating the advice to dismiss or ignore
Unzip your overalls
Suggesting an action of removing barriers or constraints
Lemon trees cut down by police
Describing a scenario of authority cutting down nature
In the end
Reiterating the insignificance of the situation
It doesn't even matter
Personalizing the lack of importance
At all, to me
Expressing personal indifference to the situation
They own the air
Highlighting the powerful ownership of essential elements
And they own the water
Emphasizing the dominance over both air and water
Lit cigarettes
Introducing a contrasting image of pleasure and exploitation
While selling my daughter
Addressing a disturbing scenario involving personal sacrifice
Now we all care about
Stating a newfound collective concern for morality
What's right and wrong
Acknowledging the importance of distinguishing right from wrong
But we don't think about
Highlighting the neglect of the message within the song
The words in this song
Emphasizing the lack of consideration for the lyrics
Now we all care about
Reiterating the newfound concern for morality
Okay, I see how it is now
Expressing understanding of the situation
I guess I don't have to go back now
Conveying a sense of closure and gratitude
So, thank you
Expressing thanks and concluding the narrative
