[Intro] [Verse] Still drinking on the corner Just don’t say I didn’t warn ya Always nagging big brother He’s only looking out for ya [Chorus] Tony... the pony Tony the pony [Verse] You’re still standing on the corner Just don’t say I didn’t warn ya Old and jealous big brother You had your time and you spent it crying [Chorus] No Tony... the pony Tony the pony [Middle] So that’s what they call you now When you’re free outside So cold and hard and in control and... There’s a free ride on Tony the pony [Verse] Oh why do you always wanna stop me From doing the things in life that make me happy? And when I’m outside with friends laughing loudly Why do you always wanna stop me? [Chorus] Oh I would never I would never [Verse] But you will carry the can for anyone There’s a free ride on gullible Tony You’re drunker quicker and you’re sicker even quicker Well something heavy is gonna fall on you [Chorus] Ah oooh ah oohh Ah oooh ah oohh [Middle] And what do they call you now When you’re free outside So cold and hard and in control and... And we ride on fucked-up Tony [Verse] I will never say I told you so Or how I knew that something bad would happen to you I don’t wanna say I told you so Oh but Tony [Chorus] I told you so I told you so [Outro] x2

La chanson évoque un personnage qui, bien qu’il soit conscient des avertissements de son entourage, refuse de changer son comportement et continue de vivre sa vie de manière insouciante, souvent à travers l'alcool. On ressent une certaine tension entre lui et son grand frère, qui semble préoccupé par ses choix. Ce dernier incarne la voix de la raison, mais son attitude jalouse le pousse à critiquer celui qui continue à s’amuser. Le contexte est celui d’une réflexion sur la liberté individuelle et les conséquences de ses actes, où le protagoniste choisit la légèreté plutôt que de prêter attention aux mises en garde. Les relations familiales et les luttes personnelles se mêlent dans ce tableau, offrant une perspective sur les épreuves que chacun peut rencontrer dans la quête du bonheur.
