Lyrics
You think that we're not getting better
You believe there is no improvement in our situation.
I disagree
I hold a different opinion; I think there is progress.
We look like an angora sweater hanging of a pear tree
We appear distinct and unique, akin to an angora sweater on a pear tree.
Oh
Expression of emphasis or realization.
You'd like to send me a letter with the postage paid
You would like to communicate with me through a letter with prepaid postage.
You'd like to check on the weather
You want to discuss or inquire about the current situation.
Look at the progress we've made
Observation of the positive advancements we have achieved.
Oh
Expression of emphasis or realization.
You'd like to get on my level
You aspire to reach my level or understanding.
Good luck
Sarcastic remark, implying it's a challenging task.
You'd like to look me in the eye
You wish to have a direct, honest interaction by looking into my eyes.
When you think that we're not getting better
Reiteration that there is progress despite the belief to the contrary.
And thats just a lie.
Assertion that the notion of no improvement is false.
Cause
Transition to a chorus or a key message.
We can we can get much better
Affirmation that we have the capacity to improve significantly.
Oh
Repetition of the potential for improvement.
We can we can get much better
Reiteration of the potential for improvement.
Oh
Repetition emphasizing the possibility of getting better.
We can we can get much better
Emphasizing once again the potential for improvement.
Oh
Expression of emphasis or realization.
Yeah! Oh!
Enthusiastic exclamation or declaration of agreement.
You think that we're not getting better
Reiteration of the belief that there is no progress.
I disagree
Disagreement with the belief in line 28.
We look like an angora sweater hanging of a pear tree
Restatement of the unique and improved appearance metaphor.
Oh
Expression of emphasis or realization.
