Last Word
Sicko Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Set yourself up for a fall, and you'll fall
Trip on the last curtain call
It doesn't matter if I know of what I speak
The arguer's strong if the argument's weak
It's persistence, insistence, and a nice healthy winning streak
I got the last word in, I'm happy to announce
Counting on you to throw in the towel before I do.
Keep talking, you can talk til the cows go home
Til you wake up and find you're alone
I went home, I went home with the cows.
I got the last word in, I'm happy to announce
I got the last word in and that's all that counts
Counting on you to throw in the towel before I do.
The lyrics of Sicko's song Last Word convey a message about the futility of arguments and the desire for the last word. The singer warns against misinterpreting what is being said and setting oneself up for a fall. The finality of the last word is emphasized in the lines "I got the last word in, I'm happy to announce, I got the last word in and that's all that counts".
The second verse suggests that talking for the sake of talking is pointless, likening it to speaking until the cows come home, and ultimately, being left alone. The imagery used in this verse is a nod to the idiom "until the cows come home", which means for a very long time. The singer then declares that they chose to leave the argument behind and return home with the cows.
The chorus is repeated twice and serves to reiterate the singer's conviction and his need to emerge victorious in an argument. The song ends with the line "Counting on you to throw in the towel before I do", which implies that the singer is willing to go to great lengths to have the last word.

Misinterpret, that's not what I meant at all
Don't misinterpret what I'm saying, I'm not saying what you think I'm saying
Set yourself up for a fall, and you'll fall
If you set yourself up for failure, you will fail
Trip on the last curtain call
Fall over and fail at the end of it all
It doesn't matter if I know of what I speak
My knowledge of the topic at hand is insignificant
The arguer's strong if the argument's weak
If the argument is weak, the person making it has to be strong to keep it going
It's persistence, insistence, and a nice healthy winning streak
To win, you need to persist and insist using a strong winning streak
I got the last word in, I'm happy to announce

I got the last word in and that's all that counts
The only thing that matters is that I got the last word
Counting on you to throw in the towel before I do.
I'm hoping that you give up before I do
Keep talking, you can talk til the cows go home
You can keep talking forever without making progress
Til you wake up and find you're alone
You'll realize that no one is listening to you
I went home, I went home with the cows.
I left and went home with the cows, leaving you to talk to yourself
