So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish Lyrics

Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps and flags and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom, Ali, and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call in all its atomic pageantry

Bravissimo, hip hip hooray
For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo

Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin like
Marilyn Monroe
In an afterwind

Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On politicians, fancy water and guns and plastic surgery
Like our Prince and Reenie's mom
All the dolphins have moved on
Signaling the final curtain call in all its atomic pageantry

Bravissimo, hip hip hooray
What a glorious display
Melt our joyous hearts away
Under the mushroom cloud confetti

Hip hip hooray for this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo

Hip hip hooray
Hip hip hooray
Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin like
Marilyn Monroe in an afterwind

Time is money and money's time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps flags and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom, Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call in all its atomic pageantry

What is the Meaning of So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish?

In this hauntingly satirical track, A Perfect Circle critiques modern society's frivolous spending and misplaced priorities. The repeated lines about wasting money on superficial things like plastic surgery, lawyers, and fancy water underscore a collective distraction from more pressing global issues. The references to beloved figures like Willy Wonka and Princess Leia 'moving on' evoke a sense of loss, suggesting that the innocence and heroism they represent are fading away amidst societal decay. The chorus, with its ironic cheers for a "fireworks display" of destruction, paints a grim picture of civilization celebrating its own demise under the guise of progress. It’s a powerful reminder of what’s at stake when we lose sight of what truly matters. #SocietalCritique #ModernPriorities #CulturalDecay
