Tiny Bit of Giant's Blood

We was broke and hungry on a summer day They sent the sheriff down to try and drive us away We was sittin' ducks for the police man They found a dirty faced kid in a garbage can And I'm alone, I'm on the highway Wanted, dead or alive, dead or alive Broken down and dirty, dressed in rags My from the day, my Mama told me boy, you pack your bags I send the mayor down in his pickup truck The jury look at me, say outta luck And I'm alone, I'm on the highway Wanted, dead or alive, dead or alive Let's break it down Let's break it down I want to talk but with Diminished volume of sound I want to tell you What this song means Van Halen wrote it But they don't know what it means This is the story Of a 12-year-old-boy A 12-year-old boy From Northwest Illinois He's in his room He's on his bed Giant headphones Sitting on his ample head He's cranking Zeppelin He's cranking Queen He thinks that Freddie Mac's the coolest thing he's ever seen but Then he hears Dave He feels a few feet taller He dreams karate kicks Maybe even a fur collar But then reality hits He knows his limits There's a spotlight somewhere But he sadly is not in it And so he goes to school He learns to work He tries to love one person He hustles for the perks It's isn't glamorous It's not quite amorous It's not calamitous so He builds up his staminas But then one day, He walks into a bar And the people here Are the sexiest he's seen by far He touches these people And they touch him back He knows he's found his kindred He knows he's found his track These people shout These people cry These people yearn to live Once before they fucking die And so he tells them Let's all hold hands What's the craziest thing we can do? Let's make an insane plan! Let's shut down governments Let's take down walls Let's blow up social standards Let's have a free for all Let's have a night of pleasure Let's all stop seeding pain Let's challenge any rule Be more human again And then a voice spoke up And she said NO! I have a better idea It will make the others seem so tiny, so tiny This idea, it will spread Like giant's blood in a water bed And we said yes let's hear it She fingered her hair She said what we should do Is so extremely fucking rare The authorities will freak We'll live our lives on the run We'll be like fugitives And I don't know why but it sounded like fun She said here's the rumpus She said here's the plan She drew a tactical map We followed it like a weatherman We walked out to the street We walked into a van We put on outfits That would have gotten our mothers banned And we drove it to the schools And we drove it to the parks We scoured the youth of America Until we found our mark It was a boy He was around 12 He had the roundest face A face his parents could love And we took that face We held it in our hands We could have taught that boy We could have changed this land But instead we gave him a beard Of mud and dirt We made his face filthy We even soiled his shirt And then we lifted him We held him high He didn't make a sound He didn't yell or cry He looked unfazed Like a middle aged man And so we lowered that boy Into a black plastic Chicago style garbage can Now, I'm broken down and dirty, dressed in rags A from the day, my mama told me boy, you pack your bags And we was sittin' ducks for the police man They found a dirty faced kid in a garbage can And I'm alone, I'm on the highway Wanted, dead or alive, dead or alive I'm gone I'm a spark on the horizon
