Georgia Maq - What Do You Mean (The Bank's Out of Money) [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I could never write poetry so I try to tell the truth
Though sometimes I get in trouble when
I sing about other people
But I know that you’ll be there for me
With a cone of green and some nicotine
And when you’re not home
I’ll hang your washing out to dry

Paying attention to overtones
And talking in short hand with you
Just sitting in dad’s bedroom
While the acid kids talk shit
And I got mistaken for Italian again
It was the second time this week
I’m sick of having to explain to people
That I am actually Greek

But I’m still trying to try to try
To remember what life was like before I got tired and
It helps to have your body standing next to mine
But this is just what being human’s like

Doing the dishes when you’re not home
And writing this song in your room
Giving up after twenty minutes
And catching up on Breaking Bad
It used to be that everything
Was an attempt to impress you
But you showed me where I want to be
And that’s exactly where I’m heading to

When the conscience of the nation
Is still standing in the street
Wondering what happened
How the man lost his compassion
And I can’t believe it’s twenty-fourteen
And we’re still fighting for equality
And the minister for my gender is a racist
Homophobic misogynist

But I’m still trying to try to try
To remember what life was like before I got tired and
It helps to have your body lying next to mine
But this is just what being human’s like

We never told my grandpa that my parents broke up
And we never even told him about the death of this eldest son
And even when he fell and broke his hip he would still stand
When a stranger entered the room so he could shake their hand
How I aspire to be like that man

But thank god I’m an atheist or else
I wouldn’t be able to think like this
Cuz' I’m not going to waste my life
Apologizing to some pedophile
And feeling bad about the girls I liked
So I lied about being the punk-rock type
But when she leaned against my car
She drank whiskey and played guitar
That’s how she stole my heart

But I’m still trying to try to try
To relive what life was like before we all got tired and
It helps to have your body lying on top of mine
But I never want this feeling to end
But I spend my days waiting to go to bed
