| ZzZiff - your expanded explanation definately seems to be spot on. I think Les is trying to show the two sides to the coin here, I think that that's what this is about: presenting the situation as is, not from a biased perspective. But his conclusion (as already outlined by ZzZiff) seems to be that in the end, the situation is doomed to fall apart anyway, either way it could go. There is a spiral of victimization that is cyclical in its nature, and is a catch 22 to those caught inbetween and those at the bottom end of it. PS Anyone else noticed that Ler's guitar at the start and end of the song sounds like some kind of a railway horn-type sound? I love that effect - so perfectly fitting. | |

| This song was originally written to bring to light the number of blue collar workers who were addicted to meth. Curious george's drug patrol is the police, asking locals for any leads on any illegal activity. the locals are told that everything will be fine, but they know better. if the police find out about the workers, they would be locked up. But since so many workers were addicted to meth, it would devastate the town. The workers in this situation figured that since the town depends on them, and since they are already loved by the town, they can do whatever they want. but since "the flame that burns twice as bright burns only half as long", the workers will eventually burn out completely. les is sayng to the listener at the end of the song to sit back and watch the inevitable and disasterous end of the blue collar drug craze. or something like that. | |

| About how parts of America (mostly midwest), the small towns, are turning into total meth communities. I live in the midwest and there are meth explosions and busts all the god damned time. | |

| Actually Les said only 1 verse is about tweekin' union boys, the rest is about his blue-collar upbringing. | |
