![]() I still can’t believe they’re on the radio. I could be way off but I’m the same age as the members of Portugal the man. The “1986” reference reminds me of the first line to “fight for your right” by the beastie boys which is “KICK IT”. we truly know we’re not under attack and we don’t need a wall to feel safe from immigrants. Let the wall fall down by being peaceful or fight a bullshit political war. N then he says it doesn’t bother him either way. and it sounds like he’s giving a nod to Sander’s tip to the middle kids (college debt) and Trumps famous wall. “Flipping” could literally mean flipping burgers. ![]() N it also seems like “stop flipping for the enemies” could be the smear campaign the corporations use to not allow minimum wage to go up to 15 dollars. I really like the bridge bc it shows hypocrisy of war. People are now just a rebel for the fun of it. Now, we just complain about the corrupt system we’re apart of. Those were actually something to fight for politically. The chorus is almost making fun of SJWs when he mentions the 1960s which was the Vietnam protests, civil rights for blacks. He puts them on a shelf in case he needs to protect her. his hands used to be for fighting, now they’re purpose is to care for his child. It sounds like the lyricist is done with fighting in this current political environment especially when he mentions he has a little baby. Your love is an abyss for my heart to eclipse, now ![]() ![]() Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, yeah (Ooh woo, I'm a rebel just for kicks, now) Might've had your fill, but you feel it still Leave her with a baby sitter, mama, call the grave digger Think I'll dust 'em off, put 'em back up on the shelf ![]()
