Do It Again
Endless Cycle of Pursuit and Consequence
Lyrics
In the mornin' you go gunnin' for the man who stole your water
In the morning, you seek revenge on the person who stole your water.
And you fire 'til he is done in but they catch you at the border
You shoot at him until he's defeated, but authorities catch you at the border.
And the mourners are all singin' as they drag you by your feet
Mourners sing as they drag you, possibly implying a failed or tragic outcome.
But the hangman isn't hangin' and they put you on the street
The hangman doesn't execute you, and instead, you end up back on the street.
You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
A sense of repetition and cyclical nature, encouraging going back and repeating actions.
You go back, Jack, do it again
Reiteration of the idea to go back and repeat actions.
When you know she's no high climber then you find your only friend
Your romantic partner is not ambitious, and you find solace in a questionable friendship.
In a room with your two-timer, and you're sure you're near the end
In a room with someone untrustworthy, and the situation feels near its end.
Then you love a little wild one and she brings you only sorrow
Falling for a risky relationship that brings only sorrow.
All the time you know she's smilin' you'll be on your knees tomorrow, yeah
Despite knowing the negative outcome, you remain devoted, anticipating future pain.
You go back, Jack, do it again, wheel turnin' 'round and 'round
Encouragement to repeat actions, emphasizing the cyclical nature of mistakes.
You go back, Jack, do it again
Reiteration of the idea to go back and repeat actions.
Now you swear and kick and beg us that you're not a gamblin' man
Denial of being a gambler, but circumstances bring you back to Las Vegas.
Then you find you're back in Vegas with a handle in your hand
Returning to a gambling scenario with a physical lever or handle in your hand.
Your black cards can make you money so you hide them when you're able
Your hidden advantages can bring financial gain, but you must risk exposing them.
In the land of milk and honey, you must put them on the table
In a prosperous place, you must reveal your assets or skills for success.
You go back, Jack, do it again, wheels turnin' 'round and 'round
Emphasizes the repetitive nature of making the same mistakes over and over.
You go back, Jack, do it again
Reiteration of the idea to go back and repeat actions.
