Lyrics
Shout, shout, let it all out
Expressing a strong desire to release emotions; encouraging shouting as a form of catharsis
These are the things i can do without
Identifying aspects or problems that can be eliminated or lived without
Come on, I'm talking to you, come on
Urging someone to speak up or express themselves
Shout, shout, let it all out
Reiterating the need to shout and release emotions
These are the things i can do without
Re-emphasizing things that are unnecessary or burdensome
Come on, i'm talking to you, come on
Encouraging dialogue or expression
In violent times
Commenting on challenging or tumultuous times
You shouldn't have to sell your soul
Arguing against compromising one's integrity, especially in difficult circumstances
In black and white
Referring to a situation in clear terms
They really really ought to know
Suggesting that people in authority should be aware of certain facts
Those one track minds
Describing individuals with narrow or fixed perspectives
That took you for a working boy
Criticizing those who underestimate or exploit others for their labor
Kiss them goodbye
Bidding farewell to such individuals
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
Asserting that happiness should not require extraordinary efforts
You shouldn't have to jump for joy
Repetition of the idea that joy should come naturally
Shout, shout, let it all out
Reiteration of the call to shout and release emotions
These are the things i can do without
Listing things that can be eliminated or are burdensome
Come on, i'm talking to you, come on
Encouraging dialogue or expression, repeating the call
They gave you life
Highlighting the gift of life given
And in return you gave them hell
Indicating a rebellious response to life's challenges
As cold as ice
Describing the rebellious attitude as cold and unyielding
I hope we live to tell the tale
Expressing a wish to survive and share the experience
I hope we live to tell the tale
Repetition of the desire to live and share the tale
Shout, shout, let it all out
Reiteration of the call to shout and release emotions
These are the things i can do without
Repeating the identification of burdensome things
Come on, i'm talking to you, come on
Encouraging dialogue or expression, repeating the call
Oh
An exclamation or expression of emotion
And when you've taken down your guard
Referencing vulnerability and openness
If I could change your mind
Expressing a desire to influence someone's perspective
I'd really like to break your heart
Expressing a willingness to cause emotional impact, potentially heartbreak
I'd really like to break your heart
Reiteration of the desire to emotionally impact someone
