The Tarpeian Rock was a steep cliff used by the Roman Empire for executions. The implication here is that everyone listed in the lyrics, from “greedy bastards” to “terrible bartenders,” deserves execution.
Let them be shocked
By gravity
Then the ground
Fate rushing upwards
Make their heads go pop
Throw them from the rock
Greedy bastards
Rank amateur professionals
Emotional cripples
Gluten fascists
Alt-weekly types
Human dieldrin
Envious cowards
Envious associates
Internet personas
Smug urban settlers
Ants in the bathtub
Crucibles of smog
Unformed skulls
Neon bands on laptops
Recent memories
Unweird beards
Rich crusties
Adults dressed as children
Do-nothing know-it-alls
What democracy looks like
Upper class slummers
Text as new literature
Shot counters
Last Matts in the phone book
Credit card users
Pain-free catheters
Most bands ever
Terrible bartenders
