Bell - Junior [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

You know it's all a lie
They got you hook and eye
It's not really real
Don't get hypnotized
Adjust to the light
Nothing is so silver-lined
Across the border

But Junior you had a plan
You were going to that old Big Sky country
Just beyond the barbed wire
Your old man never got through
Your mama never got to
But you did!

Go and colonize
The Coca-Cola life
I almost taste it

Junior--this is a slow free-fall and not a life
Oh--I know you're dead tired but look alive, look alive
You are--another rope fraying, another rung
Oh--look around you boy

It hits you like a tide
The love you left behind
It's on the other side
You bleed, reapply
And then a sudden light
Yeah then the sun will rise
Making it, $$$

You're making it money
Making it money
Auntie and uncle write
Are you making it, money?
High in a corner office, Is that our baby?
MY GOD only in this country

Ah, everyone making it money
Ah how many colors do you really see?
Everyone loves a golden US story
Ha la la la Jun-, Ha la la la

Junior--this is a slow free-fall
Oh--I know you're dead tired but look alive, look alive
You are--another rope fraying, another rung
Oh--it was a waste boy, you're such a waste boy, it was a waste
