Last Laugh
Alexis Blue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You all seem to think
That this industrys in sync
That its all sex drugs rock and roll
(ba da ba da ba ba da, ba da ba da ba ba da)

And that the papers blessed with ink
Thats it flows like to a shrink
But you're wrong

(ba da ba da ba ba da, ba da ba da ba ba da)

Think what you want that we'll never be big
Just you sit on that stool and take another swig but

Remember, who are you to say Alexis Who?
Theres nothing you can do
To change, what we'll sing about
And who'll remember you?
In a year or two

(ba da ba da ba ba da, ba da ba da ba ba da)
(ba da ba da ba ba da, ba da ba da ba ba da)

He says: 'imnotanalcoholicimarockstar'
As he downs another scotch,
On the rocks
(ba da ba da ba ba da, ba da ba da ba ba da)

With that attitude you'll go far
I think not
I think not
(ba da ba da ba ba da, ba da ba da ba ba da)

(ooooooooh ooh ooh ooooooooh)
Think what you want that we'll never be big
Just you sit on that stool and take another swig but

Remember, who are you to say Alexis Who?
Theres nothing you can do
To change, what we'll sing about
And who'll remember you?
In a year or two

Remember, who are you to say Alexis Who?
Theres nothing you can do
To change, what we'll sing about

And who'll remember you?
In a year or two

The song challenges the notion that the industry is all about hedonism and suggests that there are deeper themes to be explored through music.

The chorus of the song is a call to remember the artist's name, despite the doubts that others may have about their future success. The lyrics suggest that the artist will continue to sing about what they believe in, regardless of whether they become a commercial success or not. The lyrics also suggest that those who doubt the artist's potential will be forgotten in a year or two, while the artist's music will endure.

Overall, the song seems to be a message from the artist to the music industry and the media, telling them that there is more to music than just sex and drugs, and that the artist's work will be remembered, no matter what.
