We Aren't the World (Safety Girl) Lyrics

Have you seen any mention, it's been quiet in detention all week
Is that so?
I saw the winter party person candidate give a sermon shook his fists, like this
Is that so?
And everyone sat as blank as a cake and in love like a stupid lump of clay
Is that so?
I know a good Armageddon might have made my day, that day
Is that so?

We aren't the world
We aren't the children
But you are my safety girl

And you know we could go and spend ourselves like money
Let's pretend we're hundred dollar bills
Like so
And complain every day there's a spider in my soup
Tired of my opinion, like everybody else
Is that so?

We aren't the world
We aren't the children
But you're my safety girl

Like so
Oh, is that so?

We aren't the world
We aren't the children
But you're my safety girl

What is the Meaning of We Aren't the World (Safety Girl)?

In the midst of a world clamoring for unity and grand solutions, Wilco's lyrical journey in this song takes a more intimate detour. The repeated refrain, "We aren't the world, we aren't the children," serves as a gentle renunciation of global anthems that call for collective action, suggesting instead a focus on personal connections and individual safety nets. The protagonist finds solace not in changing the world but in the reliability and comfort of his "Safety Girl." This track beautifully captures the essence of finding peace in personal sanctuaries amidst external chaos, reminding us that sometimes, our world is enough when defined by those we trust and hold dear. #Wilco #PersonalSanctuary #IntimateDetour #SafetyGirl
