3. And can also apply to ruthless WOMEN ...
BombBomb, get a food taster NOW. This woman isn't
going to get let you or ANYTHING ELSE get in the
way of her helping to make an American Theocracy
possible.

And because you're 72 years old, this becomes SO
MUCH easier. Watch your back, old man.

4. The lyrics:
So this aint the end -
I saw you again today
I had to turn my heart away
Smiled like the sun -
Kisses for real
And tales - it never fails!

You lying so low in the weeds
I bet you gonna ambush me
Youd have me down down down down on my knees
Now wouldnt you, barracuda?

Back over time we were all
Trying for free
You met the porpoise and me
No right no wrong, selling a song-
A name, whisper game.

If the real thing dont do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
Ooooooh, barracuda?

Sell me sell you the porpoise said
Dive down deep down to save my head
You...i think you got the blues too.

All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools - silly fools!

If the real thing dont do the trick
No, you better make up something quick
You gonna burn burn burn burn it to the wick
Ooooooohhhh, barra barracuda.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh.


(I once heard a radio interview with Ann Wilson and she specifically said this was about a certain type of man that she has learned to avoid.)

5. Like Springsteen's song.
Reagan used "Born in the USA" without knowing the lyrics. It's about the crap that war mongering, greedy politicians do to the country, but all they heard was the riff. republicans don't read. They don't think. They are the walking example of stupid and greedy. Ever see the movie Idiocracy? That's us if republicans have enough supporters.
