Lyrics
Out my window cool and bright
Observing a calm and bright scene outside my window
Fade so slowly into night
The brightness fading gradually as the day turns into night
Funny how things look the same
Noticing the similarity in appearance of things
Now that my friend Ebin's changed
Reflecting on the changes in my friend Ebin
Ebin was a cooly that I used to know
Ebin, a person I used to know, was a "cooly" (possibly laid-back or cool)
Now he's down with the PLO
Ebin is now associated with the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization)
He's cold kickin' it live with the KKK
He's actively involved with the KKK (Ku Klux Klan)
No JMC, no JFA
No more JMC (James Monroe High School), no JFA (Jodie Foster's Army)
Cooly was sportin' black denim shoes
Ebin used to wear black denim shoes
Dealing he was looking for something to use
He was dealing and searching for something to use
With a pistol in his pocket and a bottle of booze
Carrying a pistol and a bottle of booze
Well, it could be me or it could be you
Suggesting that anyone could end up in a similar situation
Oh feels like my whole life is rearranged
Expressing a sense of disarray and transformation in life
Oh Ebin you changed
Acknowledging Ebin's significant change
Ebin, Ebin, Ebin, Ebin you
Repeating Ebin's name, emphasizing the change
Oh how you changed
Highlighting the profound nature of Ebin's transformation
Oh you changed
Reiterating the acknowledgment of Ebin's change
Oh how you changed
Emphasizing the depth of Ebin's transformation
I give you a hard time, didn't want to stay
Admitting to giving Ebin a hard time and not wanting him to stay
Got outta jail just the very next day
Ebin quickly got out of jail the next day
It's plain to see my friend Ebin is a Nazi
Explicitly stating that Ebin is now associated with Nazism
He was a Nazi yeah, yeah, yeah
Confirming Ebin's past involvement with Nazism
Now he's down with the CIA
Ebin is now associated with the CIA
We got covert operation in Vietnam
Referring to covert operations in Vietnam
Making hits and assassination he's long gone
Implying involvement in hits and assassinations
He went down to protect his country
Ebin went down to protect his country
Eat Mexican food and makes lots o' money
Enjoying Mexican food and making money
Come back a God and drive a big white car
Returning as a revered figure with material success
And take himself a plane down to Nicaragua
Traveling to Nicaragua by plane
Well it feels like I'm the only one to blame
Feeling personally responsible for Ebin's transformation
Oh Ebin you changed
Reiterating the impact of Ebin's change on the speaker
Ebin, Ebin, Ebin, Ebin you
Repeating Ebin's name, emphasizing the change once more
Oh you changed
Expressing a sense of disappointment in Ebin's change
Oh you changed
Reiterating the disappointment in Ebin's transformation
Oh how you changed
Emphasizing the depth of disappointment in Ebin's change
I give you a hard time, didn't want to stay
Admitting to giving Ebin a hard time and not wanting him to stay
Got outta jail just the very next day
Ebin quickly got out of jail the next day
It's plain to see my friend Ebin is a Nazi
Reiterating that Ebin is now associated with Nazism
He was a Nazi yeah, yeah, yeah
Confirming Ebin's past involvement with Nazism
Out my window cool and bright
Observing a calm and bright scene outside my window (repeated)
Day so slowly into night
The brightness fading gradually as the day turns into night (repeated)
Funny how things look the same
Noticing the similarity in appearance of things (repeated)
Now that my friend Ebin's changed
Reflecting on the changes in my friend Ebin (repeated)
