| This reminds me of how Zach's father got fuct up(i dont remember how) when Zach was at a young age, and his father(dont remember his name) wasnt there for him, so it was his mother that was mostly look after him, so that would go with the "Hey revolver, don't mothers make Good fathers ?" part. oh shit, the revolver, i dont know about that part, maybe the revolver is metaphor for the thing that fuct his father up, whatever that was, oh well, do your own research, im too lazy | |

| I'm just so surprised that more people didn't see it the way ClaytonOT did. To me, the song has always been from the son's perspective, but ingeniously, instead of being from a naive child's point of view (see Pink's "Family Portrait"), it's coming from a son who knows all about screwed-up marriages like this, and is making a serious, thought-out decision (or at least wanting very badly to make it) about killing his father, as in, he's asking the revolver itself for adive: "Wouldn't I be fucking justified?? Mothers make better fathers when your dad is like this." I think it's incredible how so much pain, confusion, and panic can be expressed just in the way he sings that one line. In terms of the second verse, I always thought of it as the son being angered by possible sexual abuse ("Her body numbs as he approaches the door") in a Hamlet-esque way. This all seems strengthened by the fact that the story is in third person, an observation, followed by a chorus obviously coming from someone deeply involved in the abuse. | |

| well, In truth about the wonderful Draft, 7Rich black people never got drafted, why? cause they were rich, They will not draft anyone who is rich and is the upper crust, no matter who or what color they are. Look back at Vietnam, mostly poor whites and Blacks were drafted, from downtroddened homes and poor areas. No rich, why? becasue they bring money to the war machine at home. All it ever took was money to keep your ass ouit of the Draft. And to them rich black people are not a threat, because they conform to the way the game is played, no questions, no doubts, Nothing. Poor, no matter what color, will always question, and with all right to. The lower class have struggled as well as the middle, and take todays times, they are trying to phase out the middle class, trying to break up unions, to make only poor and rich. With the war in Iraq, the almighty war for Oil and Domination, the draft may sooner or later re appear, and that will once again weed out the lower and middle class making us fewer in numbers. No one to fight against them, no one to protest against them, or argue. And this is were Rage is making their point, we must Unite!! We cannot always stay seperate from each other, we must look at what we done to each other, ourselves, forgive, apologize, and Unite. This is where I believe that socialism is the only way to fully Unite as one. It may have it's flaws, but it is the only way that we can overcome the past and present and make a better future | |

| 'mysteryslugs' what do you mean its not really zach's thing to use metaphors? "you're friendship is a fog, that dissapears when the wind re-directs" a hell of a lot of zach's lyrics are metaphors.and 'flanger' are you sure that's what the song was written about? unless you heard it from zach, every view is an interpretation. wouldn't you say? | |
