    on a more serious note..

    i think most of his brains were splattered about the limo. and on jackie's dress. and on the street. it was brutal.
    Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
    He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green

    « The whole world will be different soon

    The whole world will be relieved »


    I think this is the strong quote from the Yield album and the principle that man must give way (Yield) to the forces of nature. 


    So I always thought it was related to the reason, quite possible, for the assassination of JFK by the American oil tyrants who refused to lose millions in tax savings through Kennedy's projects. Monetary profits before life (even that of the President of the United States). Makes us think of overproduction before the preservation of our ecosystems for future generations. The intrinsic link between oil production and where we are with the effects of carbon emissions seems ovious. So, with global warming, the first part seems to explain itself well. The second is more interesting. Eddie could have written something like "suffering", but he wrote "relieved". Interesting artistic choice.

    This song rocks.

    It's totally about conspiracies and I was a big JFK buff thanks to the movie back in 94. Some of it was total BS, other parts were very eye opening.

    Any song on YIELD should be praised by all. Carry on...
    This is the best song off Yield IMHO

    I created a link to my google drive with the isolated vocals. The lyrics differ from what is on most websites. Here are the differences I hear:

    Bruise got the brain of JFK
    What's it mean to us now
    pause/boss it self destructs?
    But I can tell you, this is no lie

    The whole world will be different soon
    The whole world will be relieved/really bad (it sounds like really bad multiple times)

    You, you've been taught
    Whipped into shape, now they got you in line
    Stand behind the stripes
    There will be order, so give it good mind/so give up your mind
