Lyrics

That's the role of the government keeping track of what you spend now

Government's responsibility to monitor citizen expenses

it's our land of freedom and democracy,

Reference to the United States as a land of freedom and democracy

with the budget gone and spent,

Money from the budget has been used up

seperation imminent and we're expected

Predicting separation or division due to spent resources

happily to fall in line and so we fallow the leader

People obediently follow the leader without questioning

and what he does know why i'm doing it

Uncertainty about following blindly and imitating without understanding

just because i'm of thinking for myself.

Expressing desire to think independently

Oh ya and I hope to God i don't stir

Hoping not to cause trouble by thinking differently

the pot keep my brain from original thought

Suppressing original thoughts or ideas

oh lemmings are cool lemmings are fun not too distinct

Admiring the conformity and uniformity of lemmings

and I wanna be one right now.

Expressing the desire to conform and follow blindly

Front of her was a long white line

Imagery of a white line possibly representing a decision or direction

should she go or should she try to listen to her friends

A person contemplating whether to follow advice or not

when she wasn't sure no opinion of her own

Lack of personal opinion leading to dependence on others' views

soon enough you were alone cause it's hard to find a friend w

Isolation due to difficulty finding friends when lacking independent thought

hen you're on a ledge well i'll make my decision for myself

Assertion of making personal decisions regardless of others' influence

without listening to anyone else

Choosing not to heed anyone else's advice or input

oh lemmings are fucked,

Criticizing lemmings as being in a hopeless situation

lemmings are dumb,

Describing lemmings as lacking intelligence

and I wanna be one right now.

Reiterating the desire to conform mindlessly like lemmings
