They're WHIPPING
I guess El Con got tied up again. Last night I had a dream that I would get one dollar (woowee) if I posted the song of the day by 4 a.m. Of course, all kinds of things prevented me from doing that. Well, at least I can post this by 4 p.m.!
whipping
Don't need a helmet, got a hard, hard head
Don't need a raincoat, I'm already wet
Don't need a bandage, there's too much...blood...
After a while, seems to roll right off...hmm...
whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...
Don't need a hand, there's always arms attached
Oh, don't get behind, I can't fall back
Why must we trust all these rusted rails?
They don't want no change, we already have
whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...
Don't mean to push, but I'm being shoved!
Oh, I'm just like you, think we've had enough
I can't believe a thing they want us to...oh...
Oh, we all got scars, they should have 'em too...
whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping, ah...
whipping, ah...they're whipping, ah...
...they're whipping...yeah...they're whipping

Re: They're WHIPPING
On a video I have for the 6/20/95 show in Red Rock, Colorado Eddie says something about this song. Right before they play it he says something like "this song is about getting your ass kicked, something I know plenty about"
That would be a good interpretation of the whipping.

WHIPPING
His songs about different people getting their asses kicked are some of Ed's most potent. Every PJ show I go to, I hope they'll play whipping. Is it permanently off the playlist now?

Re: WHIPPING
I think the best version of this song is on the Vs demos. I was really disappointed that they didn't put it on the record. And then when Vitalogy came out, it was kind of a let down because I didn't like that version as much as the demo. Still, it's a great song. And aside from being about a person being kicked, I think it's also about "us" being kicked around by society. The writer is saying he's sorry he sometimes pushes but he's being shoved from behind. And he's tired of that. He knows we have all had enough. But there are no answers here. This is more of a "getting it out of your system" rant.

Damn... I just put a whole in my wall!
Well, not actually... least not this time!
Need I say more? Well, I definately agree with the political thing, or just the fact that there are way too many laws, and we pay way too many people to sit around and make them. Ok, that it...
THEY'RE whipping (scream it)
