This song is about how the only time you see all your friends is when one of them dies - and how you want to party when it's over. So why not just kill your friends to save time. (thanks, Ang - St. Louis, MO)

Like, a really cynical, sarcastic song about relationships between friends, how people tend to be so ugly towards each other, backstabbing, bitching, using each other for personal gain etc.
How people "scrape and sink so low" etc.
So yeah, I think its looking at how people treat each other these days...doesn't quite fit into the concept of TBP so they left it out.
Cant blame a person or persons for someones mental break down when it comes to interpretation of art. its like sueing andy warhol because his picture of a cambell soup can makes you go can someone to death! person accountablity.
Ok, maybe if there was something wrong with the person in the first place, but I don't think a sane person would kill someone just because a song 'told' him to. -.-;
wake up america and get a life.
its really good!
love the bass line XD
GO MIKEY!
