Go For A Soda
Kim Mitchell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Might as well go for a soda nobody hurts and nobody cries
Might as well go for a soda nobody drowns and nobody dies
So I'm in one of my blue moods
You want to have it your way and I want it mine
All this debating going 'round in a blue mood makes me thirsty for love
Might as well

Might as well go for a soda nobody hurts and nobody cries
Might as well go for a soda nobody drowns and nobody dies

Life seems to be a bomb inside of your head
Well, the bomb in my head is love
All this debating going 'round in a blue mood makes me thirsty for love
Might as well

Might as well go for a soda nobody hurts and nobody cries
Might as well go for a soda nobody drowns and nobody dies
Might as well go for a soda it's better than slander
It's better than lies
Might as well go for a soda nobody hurts and nobody cries
Might as well go for a soda

Might as well go for a soda nobody hurts and nobody cries
Might as well go for a soda nobody drowns and nobody dies
Might as well go for a soda it's better than slander
It's better than lies
Might as well go for a soda

Might as well go for a soda
Oh yeah, nobody hurts nobody cries
Might as well go for a soda
Oh yeah, nobody drowns, and nobody dies
Might as well go for a soda




It's better than slander, it's better than lies
Might as well go for a soda

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Go For Soda" by Kim Mitchell are a reflection on the singer's current state of mind. He's feeling down, in a "blue mood" and finds himself in the midst of a debate or disagreement with someone he cares about. In this turmoil, he sees going for a soda as a way to take a break from the situation, to find some peace and quiet, away from the emotional turmoil. The refrain "Might as well go for a soda, nobody hurts and nobody cries" suggests that this break from the difficulty of human relationships is important, and that a simple pleasure, like having a soda, can be enough to recharge one's batteries and start again.


The song's chorus, "It's better than slander, it's better than lies" underscores the theme of the power of something as small as a soda to restore perspective when things seem out of control. The rest of the lyrics give context to the singer's situation-- he's facing the inevitable struggles of life, but has found a way to cope. The fact that he repeats the same line and chorus several times reinforces the idea that sometimes, the simplest things are the most effective.


Overall, "Go For Soda" is a catchy, upbeat, and inspiring song that promotes taking a break and indulging in something enjoyable when life seems overwhelming. The lyrics are straightforward in their meaning, but the catchy melody and upbeat tone make it a classic rock song that continues to be popular.

When MTV first started in the 80s, they actually played music videos. Today, I am not sure if they even play music videos anymore. It looks like just one pathetic reality show after pathetic reality show.

@djthrift6244

It was played a little bit on MTV back in the day.
Fun to watch it again decades later, it's so out, it's in!
The lyrics still seem to have relevancy as well
Rock on! 🤘
