weezer - la brea tar pits

주인공은 아프리카의 라브레아 타르 구덩이에 빠져 고통받고 있으며, 탈출을 원하지만 어디서부터 시작해야 할지 모른다
그는 부족을 위해 헌신하고, 자신의 능력을 활용해 남에게 도움을 청하지만 곤경에 처한 자신을 끌어올려줄 사람을 간절히 바라본다
이 모든 상황 속에서 그는 여전히 할 일이 많음을 느끼고 있다

I was tromping the jungles, there was nothing to find
No mastodon so that I could be the guy that provides
With empty hands, I headed on home
Live long enough, you're gonna choke on a bone, hey, hey
Hey, hey
That's just the way that it goes
Now I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
And I don't want to die 'cause there's still so much to give
I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
Wanna make an escape but don't know where to begin
Each time I wriggle, I sink a little deeper, ah, damn
So let me try to persuade you all to lend me a hand
Good with a spear and settling fights
Do anything for the good of the tribe, hey, hey
Could you throw me a rope?
(Throw me a rope)
'Cause I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
And I don't want to die 'cause there's still so much to give
I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
Wanna make an escape but don't know where to begin
