Modest Mouse - Poison the Well

 
0
Copied!

{Verse 1}
Come on, man, I'm not the problem
Well, I'm not the one tryin' to push you around
So poison the well, our enemies are thirsty
They took our money and threw their own damn party, get it out

{Verse 2}
I'm not tryin' to push you around
Well, to push you around
Well, to push you around
The medicine makers, they are tryin' to kill us
Yeah, they know what a cure is
But they bet that's bad for business, get it out

{Chorus}
Gimme, gimme, gimme some sorta lift
So pass me that feather down, down
Gimme, gimme, gimme something better than this
This bad taste in my mouth

{Post-Chorus}
Uh uh

{Bridge}
To push you around, man
To push you around, well
I'm not tryin' to push you around, well
Whoever prints the money says where you spend it
And just like magic, it's right back in their pocket
So poison their well, your enemies are thirsty
Yeah, I'd hate to see you gettin' too distracted
'Cause I'm not the one tryin' to push you around
Oh, spit that rind out your mouth
Let's get that taste out your mouth

{Chorus}
Gimme, gimme, gimme some sorta lift
So pass me that feather down, down
Gimme, gimme, gimme something better than this
This bad taste in my mouth

{Outro}
I'm not the one tryin' to push you around
Well, get that taste out your mouth
Now spit that rind out your mouth
Now get it out

The meaning of the song

Biography

Modest Mouse is an American indie rock band formed in 1992 in Issaquah, Washington, by singer/lyricist/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green and bassist Eric Judy. The band’s lineup has dramatically changed over the years, and the only original members still in the band to date are Brock and Green. For a lineup timeline, see here.

Modest Mouse released their debut album This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About in April 1996 and have released six studio albums to date. They gained mainstream recognition with their April 2004 effort Good News for People Who Love Bad News and it is their commercially best-selling album, being certified Platinum by the RIAA.

Modest Mouse’s name s derived from a passage from the Virginia Woolf story “The Mark on the Wall” which reads:

I wish I could hit upon a pleasant track of thought, a track indirectly reflecting credit upon myself, for those are the pleasantest thoughts, and very frequent even in the minds of modest, mouse-coloured people, who believe genuinely that they dislike to hear their own praises.
