Lyrics
You could be something great, but distractions won
You possess the potential for greatness, but various distractions have hindered your progress.
Pursuit of happiness has left you numb
The pursuit of happiness has left you emotionally numb.
When you're bored you're easy to manipulate
Boredom makes you vulnerable to manipulation.
Control becomes a breeze when you're desperate
Desperation makes it easy for others to control you.
Need a name famous enough to drop
You seek a name or recognition significant enough to be noticed.
Or an arse rich enough to slip in your tongue
You might compromise integrity for association with someone wealthy or influential.
Any fool can stay alive if they're willing to suck it
Survival seems possible by sacrificing self-respect.
But it's keeping your spine which is the difficult trick
Maintaining personal integrity is a challenging task.
Dipshit!
A direct address, possibly expressing frustration or contempt.
Be yourself
An encouragement to remain true to oneself despite challenges.
A good friend knows how to make you feel used
A true friend may exploit you, and enduring this mistreatment seems easier than leaving.
'Coz it's easier to stay and tolerate the abuse
Continuing to tolerate abuse may lead to personal extinction.
Keep this up and you'll be extinct
A sarcastic remark on how one's situation has deteriorated.
Vicious delicious, my how you've tanked
Commentary on a drastic decline, using "vicious delicious" to describe the downfall.
We're all looking for the next big thing
We are all searching for the next significant trend or opportunity.
Hunt it down, eat it, and shit out again
Metaphorical advice to aggressively pursue opportunities, consume them, and discard them.
Don't blame me I was just giving orders
The speaker claims innocence, having merely followed orders.
I don't want justice, I just want dollars...and revenge!
Expressing a desire for wealth, revenge, and indifference to justice.
...Make it rain!
An exclamation urging action, possibly with a sense of urgency.
Be yourself
Reiteration of the advice to be true to oneself despite external pressures.
Be yourself
-Make you clean like steam, and pour you into the clouds
A metaphor suggesting purification and elevation before self-destruction.
Make your brain perfect before you blow it out
Preparing one's mind before making a significant decision or taking drastic actions.
From idealistic youth to redundant wage slave
A progression from idealistic youth to a mundane existence consuming remnants of corporate success.
To eating corporate leftovers in your golden age
Illustrating a life of conformity and settling for less in old age.
Obedience is not enough
Emphasizing that mere obedience is insufficient.
Humiliation is the final seal for your submission
Humiliation is the final blow, sealing one's submission to societal expectations.
We dream of storming Eden, but we're locked in a slum
An aspiration to break free from societal constraints, contrasting with the reality of a confined existence.
I hate the person I'm trained to become
A strong dislike for the person shaped by societal expectations and norms.
Be yourself
Repeated encouragement to be true to oneself or adopt a facade for the benefit of others.
Or be someone else for someone else
-Be yourself
-Or be someone else for someone else
-Be yourself
-Or be someone else for someone else
-Be yourself
-Or be someone else for someone else
-I hate the person I'm programmed to become
A final expression of hatred towards the enforced persona, possibly the result of societal pressures.
I hate the person I'm forced to become
