| i think the song's about racism. some about white people at the same social level as the blacks singing it. they are almost the same, but the whites think they're better for some reason. also you can be racist in the cia but not the mafia. and both are corrupt. blacks and whites have been together for a long long time. beginning of time or something. it's a stretch but with the wine thing maybe they're saying that jesus was black and there were whites following him and drinking his miraculous wine. | |

| maybe... hmm... why can't we be friends? maybe she is a trained assassin out to get whoevers singing. or even the other way round. whoevers singing is on a mission to kill this person but theyve fallen in love and he dont wanna kill her any more but has to i reckon its something to do with the CIA bit, but maybe thats just because ive just been reading Scorpia and Ark Angel ive only ever heard the reel big fish cover of this but i dont think its no different :s this song is cool! | |
