"The Less I Know" - Raine Maida

[Mediocresinger]

His real name is Michael Maida

[KellyTheAlien]

Is Raine Maida his real name? Cause there's a line that says "and this is all the gold that was sold at the end of the rainbow", then I wikipedia'd Rhinemaidens and there's thing mentioning gold and rainbows

I dont see why you feel the need to over analyze this song, his whole album is incredible, just listen to it and if you love it you love it, if you dont you dont, no more needs to be said. Personally I'm in love with this.

[LeaderMan]

New York City to San Jose, troops home now, troops home safe

Time for the crime to the king and his crown

Grant him a pardon, let him right out

Time for the crime to the king and his crown

Grant him a pardon, send in the clowns

Send in the clowns

[LeaderMan]

Peace Please all ladies screaming Filthy liberty lady in pieces All the right to American Airlines 4000 back to stateside All's coffin quiet in the cargo hold And the in flight movie is silence Full to capacity sadly for only frequent fliers and pilot Paris on jail on nightline, but still no body bags on primetime Stuff words in our mouth if you want but we know who helped to build this place We love our freedom too, that's why we march, why we stay

[arntanynameleft]

i think you got it all right except i think it might be " the only frequent fliers are pilots" but like you i havnt been able to find them to confirm that

[FrankWestphotojourna]

Listening to it, I think it might actually be, 'The only frequent flier's the pilot', which makes sense, though I may not be right.

[LeaderMan]

So I haven't been able to find the lyrics for the spoken word piece anywhere.  I managed to put this together though, let me know what you think, if it's accurate:

[ShawnMichaelsRawks]

I think that's really good, only with the "only frequent fliers and pilot", I think it's "the only frequent fliers are pilots", but that's just me. :D

[LeaderMan]

Yeah now that you mention it, that is what it is! Clearly he is referring to the bodies of US soldiers coming back to the states in cargo jets. Not too subtle in this one! A great song though.

[ShawnMichaelsRawks]

Regardless, the song is very awesome indeed. -nodnod-
