Questionable
Evasion Blues: Defying Authority in Slightly Stoopid's 'Questionable'
Lyrics
You say where are we going
You question the destination or purpose of a journey.
And what you gonna do
You inquire about the actions or plans to be undertaken.
When all those police men
Refers to law enforcement officers pursuing someone.
Come chasin' after you
The potential consequence of being chased by the police.
You better run away
An urging to escape or avoid the impending danger.
Keep yourself from day
Suggests hiding during the daylight hours.
Hide out in the night
Encourages seeking refuge in the darkness of the night.
They leave you without any right
Warns of being deprived of rights or justice.
I don't know why they are coming to take you away
Expresses uncertainty about the reason for being pursued.
If you had reasoned
If one had negotiated or explained, it might be considered betrayal.
They'd call it treason
Suggests that reasoning might be labeled as treason.
And blow your sorry ass away
The consequence of reasoning might be severe, even lethal.
You say where are we going
Repetition of the earlier questioning of direction or purpose.
And what you gonna do
Reiteration of asking about plans when chased by the police.
When all those police men
Recalls the threat of law enforcement pursuing someone.
Come chasin' after you
Repeats the potential consequence of being chased by the police.
You better run away
Emphasizes the urgency to escape the impending danger.
Get out while you still can
Advises leaving before it's too late.
There's blood in your eyes
Symbolic reference to intense emotions or a violent situation.
You're not a mortal man
Suggests the subject is more than a mere mortal.
