Ebin
Ebin's Transformation: A Tale of Change and Controversy
Lyrics
Out my window cool and bright
Reflecting on a cool and bright view outside the window
Fade so slowly into night
The view fades slowly as night falls
Funny how things look the same
Noting the similarity of things despite changes
Now that my friend Ebin's changed
Expressing that the speaker's friend Ebin has changed
Ebin was a cooly that I used to know
Describing Ebin as a former acquaintance
Now he's down with the PLO
Indicating Ebin's affiliation with the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization)
He's cold kickin' it live with the KKK
Stating that Ebin is now associated with the KKK (Ku Klux Klan)
No JMC, no JFA
Mentioning the absence of JMC (Johnny Machine Crew) and JFA (Jodie Foster's Army)
Cooly was sportin' black denim shoes
Describing Ebin's attire with black denim shoes
Dealing he was looking for something to use
Implying Ebin is involved in questionable activities
With a pistol in his pocket and a bottle of booze
Depicting Ebin carrying a pistol and a bottle of booze
Well, it could be me or it could be you
Suggesting the potential for anyone to face a similar fate
Oh feels like my whole life is rearranged
Expressing a feeling of life being rearranged
Oh Ebin you changed
Reiterating that Ebin has undergone a significant change
Ebin, Ebin, Ebin, Ebin you
Repeating Ebin's name to emphasize the change
Oh how you changed
Continuing to emphasize Ebin's transformation
Oh you changed
Expressing astonishment at the extent of Ebin's change
Oh how you changed
Reiterating the surprise at Ebin's transformation
I give you a hard time, didn't want to stay
Acknowledging giving Ebin a hard time, but he chose to leave
Got outta jail just the very next day
Noting Ebin's quick release from jail
It's plain to see my friend Ebin is a Nazi
Alleging Ebin's association with Nazi ideology
He was a Nazi yeah, yeah, yeah
Confirming that Ebin was a Nazi in the past
Now he's down with the CIA
Indicating Ebin's current association with the CIA
We got covert operation in Vietnam
Mentioning covert operations in Vietnam
Making hits and assassination he's long gone
Highlighting Ebin's involvement in hits and assassinations
He went down to protect his country
Stating Ebin's dedication to protecting his country
Eat Mexican food and makes lots o' money
Describing Ebin's post-service activities and financial success
Come back a God and drive a big white car
Depicting Ebin's return as a revered figure with material wealth
And take himself a plane down to Nicaragua
Mentioning Ebin's travel to Nicaragua by plane
Well it feels like I'm the only one to blame
Expressing a sense of personal responsibility for the changes
Oh Ebin you changed
Reiterating the impact of Ebin's transformation on the speaker
Ebin, Ebin, Ebin, Ebin you
Repeating Ebin's name to emphasize the change again
Oh you changed
Continuing to emphasize Ebin's transformation
Oh you changed
Reiterating the surprise at Ebin's transformation
Oh how you changed
Expressing astonishment at the extent of Ebin's change
I give you a hard time, didn't want to stay
Acknowledging giving Ebin a hard time, but he chose to leave
Got outta jail just the very next day
Noting Ebin's quick release from jail
It's plain to see my friend Ebin is a Nazi
Alleging Ebin's association with Nazi ideology
He was a Nazi yeah, yeah, yeah
Confirming that Ebin was a Nazi in the past
Out my window cool and bright
Reflecting on a cool and bright view outside the window (repeated)
Day so slowly into night
The view fades slowly as night falls (repeated)
Funny how things look the same
Noting the similarity of things despite changes (repeated)
Now that my friend Ebin's changed
Expressing that the speaker's friend Ebin has changed (repeated)
