Ben Folds (Five) - Jackson Cannery Song Meanings

Lyrics:
Stop the bus
I wanna be lonely
When seconds pass slowly
And years go flying by
You gotta stop the bus
I'll get off here
Enough...

Jackson Cannery is a factory where he works, the 'stop the bus' part is him getting sick of his job and quitting.

I think the 'But Big brother got the keys/And I got Jackson Cannery' part is in reference to his older brother was handed a car by his parents, while he has to work a shitty job for it; there's some resentment there.

This song is about a friend of Ben's with schizophrenia and how he suddenly changed.

The name cannery is the name of a mill in his hometown in N.C.
