Mad as Rabbits Lyrics

Come save me from walking off a windowsill
Or I'll sleep in the rain
Don't you remember when I was a bird
And you were a map?

And now he drags down miles in America
Briefcase in hand
The stove is creeping up his spine again
Can't get...

    It's about when you piss off a rabbit.

    For what it seems, for me this song is total reflection of the new era.
    As in the other PATD songs, Ross uses lots of metaphors to talk about things like poverty and the selfish/hedonist attitude that society has nowadays, masterpieced all on one song. Also if you notice clearly, Ross makes fun of the capitalism times nowadays and the presures that everyone has on their jobs, with a like politic taste (And at the end was a dog called Bambi,Who was chewing on his parliaments,When he tried to save the calendar business...) Finally, after talking in many ways of the mad new days that the "new era" has, Ryan talks about love itself, and remarking the hedonist attitudes of the new world, remarks that the times we live nowdays where relationships are taken without seriousness and as the cherry of the cake, proposes that "We must reinvent love" (Get back to real love, the one that really involucrated to persons for a lifetime).

    This song is, in part, about the gay rights movement.

    "You know that Paul Cates
    Bought himself a trumpet from
    The Salvation Army
    But there ain't no
    Sunshine in his song
    We must reinvent love"

    Paul Cates is public education director for the Lesbian and Gay Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union.

    The phrase "reinvent love" comes from "Délire I: Foolish Virgin, The Infernal Bridegroom” by gay author Arthur Rimbaud: "He says, 'I don't like women: love must be reinvented...'"

    Ryan Ross himself also refers to this song as a "love song."
