I believe in Love-By Don Williams
A cry for help!
This song is so cloying. The Good southerner with his belief in viginity and more and more children.
But at one point he say s that he dosen't believe that 'Gasoline is in short supply, the rising cost of getting by'. and before that "I don't believe the price of gold" [look out for the italicized and bold portion below].
"I don't believe in superstars,Organic food and foreign cars.
I don't believe the price of gold;The certainty of growing old.
That right is right and left is wrong,That north and south can't get along.
That east is east and west is west.And being first is always best.
But I believe in love.I believe in babies.
I believe in Mom and Dad.And I believe in you.
Well, I don't believe that heaven waits,For only those who congregate.
I like to think of God as love:He's down below, He's up above.
He's watching people everywhere.He knows who does and doesn't care.
And I'm an ordinary man,Sometimes I wonder who I am.
But I believe in love.I believe in music.
I believe in magic.And I believe in you.
Well, I know with all my certainty, What's going on with you and me,
Is a good thing.It's true, I believe in you.
I don't believe virginity,Is as common as it used to be.
In working days and sleeping nights,That black is black and white is white.
That Superman and Robin Hood,Are still alive in Hollywood.
That gasoline's in short supply,The rising cost of getting by."!!!!!
Somebody explain to me whether,
He dosen't believe in the rising costs of getting by because he dosen't believe that gasoline is in short supply. Which means that gasoline is really not in short supply and thus
1) believes that the prices are artificially kept high and thus does not justify the rising cost of getting by. So he is in denial in some sense.
2)gasoline prices are really quite low(but we don't realize it for some reason) and hence the cost of getting by is really quite low. In this case he needs to take econ 101.
Sorry! I'm sure my logic is highly flawed..but if someone could explain to me what Don Williams was thinking when he wrote that song, I can listen to it next time in peace.
And what's with the price of gold issue. He's questioning basic economic laws of demand and supply. This matter will not be taken lightly. I f there is another dimension to his thoughts, somebody explain.
