This is a song about recent historical events in the news, written in 2005-2005. It references Jimmy Carter’s return to prominence as a critic of the scandals and secrecy within the Bush administration, the death of Ronald Reagan, the return of the Backstreet Boys, and several other things he think...
[Verse 1]
Like Jimmy Carter, like electric underwear
Like any idea that never had a chance to go anywhere
This is who you are, a paid celebrity
Who drives off a bridge in a car
Your beautiful body filling up with water
[Verse 2]
Like Harry Truman dropping bombs out of the air
Like any self-respecting multi-billionaire
This is who you are, five dancing teenage boys
Who sing their way into our hearts
Backstreet's back, alright
[Chorus 1]
And there's a toxic cloud hanging over
And there's white noise on the screen
And there's a man in a hotel room
Assaulting a maid who just came to clean up the mess
[Post-Chorus]
Backstreet's back, alright
Like Ronald Reagan falling asleep forever more
Dreaming of horses and dreaming of nuclear war
This is where we are tonight
Everybody under surveillance from a satellite
You can be the first one on your block to die
[Chorus 2]
And there's a plague of locusts upon us
And there's a nightmare in the swarm
And there's a lion out in the desert
Slouching towards Bethlehem to be born again
[Post-Chorus]
Backstreet's back, alright
Alright
