Grandma has got to be the arch-opposite of the "Man".
In the original lyrics, the line was "If you're gonna have fun and play with the stake" but on recording it recently I changed it to "the State" to make it fit better with the whole "The Man" theme of the album, at the expense of a weaker rhyme.
lyrics
In the old driveway
For us by the way
She'd always be waiting
She'd spoil us boys
With gifts and with toys
And the undieing love only Grandma could give
We'd always get fed
With a pat on the head
Grandma never made anyone feel bad
With her grin and her smile
I'd walk fifteen mile
To see my Grandma be proud and be glad
When Grandma found out the trouble I was in
She gave a disappointed looked and warned me again
She said if you're gonna have fun and play with the State
Please be careful if just for Grandma's sake
