No Picture Ken Average	#1 by Ken Bennett at Jan 12, 1978 at 6:51 PM EST
	Great song to sing along with if you're angry at anything. I simply adore it :P

No Picture josip Wanna Be	#2 by josip pucek at Jun 11, 1978 at 4:21 AM EST
	im surprised no one has said this.. but i've always thought "mad max bullshit..." was a refrence to Pulp Fiction, where good ole Vincent Vega is trying to buy herion, from memory the seller is like ... ... .... dammit... i just popped in the dvd, just to make sure, and it's actually "madman" not "madmax" .. oh well, it was a cool thought anyways

No Picture Eric Rhythm Player	#3 by Eric at Mar 21, 1983 at 11:17 AM EST
	it sounds like he's holding onto everything i think this song is pretty sarcastic. like, even tho the suit is falling apart, he holds onto it so much that he wants to be burried with it. he thinks everything is worthy of that... cuz you know...you wanna be burried with something that means A LOT to you... so maybe we should stop clinging to stuff

No Picture lee Average	#4 by lee henninger at May 6, 1986 at 2:27 PM EST
	I absolutely love how he isn't really singing in parts of it... he's talking really... to the fans. Cause they must be afriad of becoming sell outs or w/e. Thats just what i get from listening to it.

No Picture Martin Average	#5 by Martin Mc Taggart at Apr 12, 1996 at 7:31 PM EST
	The song definitely seems to be about the different things that people consider "worthwhile living" (having free time, have a suit or material things, having a large paycheck) and if they don't have those they might as well be dead. Definitely seem to be clinging to things and stuff.

No Picture chris Average	#6 by chris markert at Nov 20, 1997 at 3:36 PM EST
	this song, i think, is really about the good things in life. it's not about a literal burial (he doesn't want to actually be buried in his suit) he's talking about the things he charishes in life, and he's saying that if they ever have to go that it would be a favor if you would take him with it.

No Picture its leeeeeeeeer Wanna Be	#7 by its leeeeeeeeeroy jenkins at Aug 13, 2005 at 11:18 PM EST
	kingle stated it very nicely. Is the first verse refering to drugs? And i love the line "lost the plot"(and how they made a random logo for it in the liner notes)

No Picture J Average	#8 by J Fray at Mar 16, 2006 at 4:57 AM EST
	i think this song is about how you cant take any of the stuff he sings about with you when you die. its supposed to be ironic, or maybe just a statement about that kind of thing. if this stuff is worth so much please bury me with it, but really it wont do anything for you in the end. thats what i got out of it anyways.i think "the view" is about that too, like no matter what we do we are going to die eventually.
