I remember studying the words of this song in high school. Seemed to me we were learning that it’s about the end of civilization. It’s cooler when Leonard Cohen sings about that, as contrasted with a radical religious right winger ranting. (Wow, that’s a lot of “r”s.)
Fave line:
Looks like freedom but it feels like death
It’s something in between, I guess
It’s closing time
Enjoy.
