about

(Gabriel): "I didn't expect to record this song, let alone be the first I'd want to write for an album, but I had just written it so it felt right. The lyrics were finished just moments before we recorded them, and I wasn't sure about the song, as at the moment it was just me and my acoustic. That night Jess sent me some electric guitar ideas, and I remember thinking I had finally found someone who could hear me."

lyrics

Who’s afraid of the red rabbit, red rabbit red, oh he’s dead
who was there when they chopped of his head
fed him to the feds, remains left on the freeway
and if seeing is believing, I could have sworn he was still breathin’

so you phoned home, you needed to know, you needed answers
they needed to know they were the last ones
so you now know that first is the heart and then the nation
we’re living in whose imagination

So you walk to the read rabbit, red rabbit red, oh he said
don’t you know that they’ll come for you next
bonded by the sex, founded on the free ways
and if seeing is believing, I could have sworn I wasn’t feelin’

so you phoned home, you needed to know, you needed answers
they needed to know they were the last ones
so you now know that first is the heart and then the nation
we’re living in whose imagination

Spirit lifted, voice was gifted
you need a minute to call your own
you need a minute to hold your roll

so you phoned home, you needed to know, you needed answers
they needed to know they were the last ones
so you now know that this is the cost of education
by trying to refuse imagination
