"did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?"

[Skip Intro]

--------------
So, so you think you can tell heaven from hell, blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground. What have you found? The same old fears
Wish you were here
------------

and the bushies say "we're so happy we can hardly count"

on edit: this has probably been done to death. sorry for the repetition.

1. Mother do you think they'll like this song?

Hey did you go to Northwestern by any chance? I saw your old name was NU.

You don't have to answer if that's too personal.

2. song has always haunted me....

as someone growing up in Pittsburgh in the 70s and 80s. Too many paralells in the lyric to the dismantling of my town and its culture during that period (did i mention how much i hate reagan) - perhaps they saw similar things happening in their neighborhood.
