So I walked downtown On my telephone And took a lazy turn Through the redeye zone. It was a five-band bill A two-dollar show. I saw the van out in front From Idaho And the girl passed out In the backseat trash. There was no way they’d make Even a half a tank of gas. They looked sick and stoned And strangely dressed. And no one showed From the local press. But I watched them walk Through the bottom land And I wished I played In a rock & roll band. Break: ...  Hey hey It was the fourteenth day in April.      Well they closed it down With the sails in rags. And they swept up the fags And the local rags. Threw the plastic cups In the plastic bags And the cooks cleaned the kitchen With the staggers and the jags. Break: Ruination day And the sky was red. I went back to work And back to bed. And the iceberg broke And the Okies fled And the Great Emancipator Took a bullet in the back of the head...    For the 2nd guitar just find a 1930s Epiphone and mess around in G.    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_14th

La chanson évoque une ambiance mélancolique et désenchantée. Elle décrit des scènes de la vie urbaine et la lutte des artistes face à l'indifférence du monde qui les entoure. On y ressent une certaine nostalgie, mêlée à un sentiment d'abandon, avec des références au désespoir et à la défaite, comme en témoigne la mention de l'iceberg et du passage difficile des musiciens. Elle semble s'inscrire dans un moment historique où l'espoir se heurte à la réalité, symbolisé par des événements tragiques et la lutte pour la survie dans un environnement hostile. En arrière-plan, on note une tension entre les rêves de la jeunesse et le cynisme que la vie peut parfois apporter.
