In this song, the last of the TruANT album, Dryden Mitchell, the singer of the band Alien Ant Farm, talks about a bad adventure that he had with his friend, who “stole” his wife.
We don’t know whether or not the song tells a story which happened to him for real, but I like to think that it did.
Hope is the thing im feeling today
Walking a mile out of the way
I still not make it though
Turn on your street and see a car
Finding our home a house a pain
See in an instant things can change
And never feel the same
Turn on your street and see a car
One where i thought mine should be parked
If that's what you demand !
Then that's what i'll deliver
If that's what you demand !
Then that's just what i'll give you
Trenches dug out the side of the road
Remember the smells of earth and bile
And there was nothing else to do
And there was nothing left to do
But walk for miles
So i walked for miles
If that's what you demand !
Then that's what i'll deliver
If that's what you demand !
Then that's just what i'll give you
Turn on your street and see a car
Someone i thought was a friend to me has ripped a hole in my life
Someone i thought was a friend to me has gone and married my wife
If that's what you demand !
Then that's what i'll deliver
If that's what you demand !
Then that's just what i'll give you
If thats your master plan !
Then i wish you two the best together
If that's what you demand now !
Then that's just what i'll give you
