R.E.M. - Man-Sized Wreath [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Turning on the tv and what do i see?
A pageantry of empty gestures all lined up for me - wow!
I'd have thought by now we would be ready to proceed
But a tearful hymn to tug the heart
And a man-sized wreath - ow!

[Chorus 1]
Throw it on the fire
Throw it in the air
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don't care, oh
Give me some

[Verse 2]
Wave the palms, steal the alms, fists in the air
A motorcade up the ninth street shows the people that you care - ow!
Nature abhors a vacuum but what's between your ears?
Your judgement clouded with fearful thoughts
A headlights and a deer - ow!

[Chorus 2]
Throw it on the fire
Throw it in the air
Kick it out on the dance-floor like you just don't care, oh
Look what I've found
Everybody look around
Everybody looking like they just don't care, oh
Give me some

[Verse 3]
Well I'm not deceived by pomp and odious conceit
But a tearful hymn to tug the heart
And a man-sized wreath-ow!

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Outro]
Give me some
Give me some
