cash cow
■We Are Scientists Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, I've been taking my time
Slow going's nothing new to me
I've been taking my time
Slide up, just drop everything

Falling out of my car
I'm not sure what I'm doing here
Somehow wherever we are
I'm not sure what I'm doing here

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once
I'm ready for the cash-in
And I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen, no, oh

Well, I've been talking a lot
I'm not saying much of anything
Well, I've been talking a lot
I'm not saying much of anything

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once
I'm ready for the cash-in
And I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen, no, oh

I've been taking my time
I've been taking my time

I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen
All of this at once




I'm ready for the cash-in
And I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen, no, oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of We Are Scientists' song "Cash Cow" are open to interpretation, but a possible interpretation is that the song is about a person who feels stuck in life and doesn't know what they're doing. The person has been taking their time with things, but they're not sure what they're waiting for. They're falling out of their car, which suggests they may be lost or disoriented. The person talks a lot but is not saying much of anything, which could suggest that they're feeling lost or disconnected from the people around them.


However, as the song progresses, the person decides that they're not going to wait for anything to happen anymore. They're ready to "cash in," which could mean that they're ready to seize opportunities and make something of their life. The repetition of "I'm not gonna wait for anything to happen" reinforces this idea that the person is taking control of their life instead of waiting for things to come to them.


Overall, the song is about seizing opportunities and taking control of one's life instead of waiting for things to happen.

I appreciate the sensitivity and compassion you displayed here, some people would be snarking or make fun of these extrordinary people. I was inspired by all of them, and hope they are all finding happy and fulfilling lives.

I feel so bad for the people suffering through these things, but it makes me happy to see them grow and learn not to care about things that are hard

I was born with congenital hydrocephalus , and my head is bigger than average. A few people teased me about it in high school, but I got the last laugh when I told a bully that I was as smarter than him because I had room for a bigger brain. :)
