Lyrics
Turn off your television
Reject mainstream influence by turning off the television.
They're selling superstition
Criticizing the promotion of unfounded beliefs for profit.
Criminals and victims, slaves to the system
Highlighting the existence of both perpetrators and victims, all enslaved by societal systems.
Prisoners to the pain
Describing individuals trapped in pain and suffering.
The whole world's addicted, tangled up and twisted
Pointing out a global addiction, symbolizing societal problems.
Panic pumping through our veins
Expressing the widespread panic and anxiety in society.
Well, baby, they say I'm a low life
Defiantly embracing the label of a "low life" who has made questionable choices for survival.
'Cause I sold my soul to the devil
-Gave up my life for the right price
-But I'll survive, I'm just a low life type
-I'm a low, I'm a low, I'm a low life
-I'm a low, I'm a low, I'm a low life type
-They'll drag you down into the dirt
Warning about the negative influence of others who can bring one down and cause emotional pain.
(I'm a low, I'm a low life type)
-They'll show you what it's like to hurt
-(I'm a low, I'm a low life type)
-Yeah, you're no better than me
Challenging the notion of superiority, suggesting equality.
If I'm on the wrong side of heaven
Expressing a sense of guilt and a desire for acceptance despite imperfections.
Then I know I won't be forgiven, ooh
-Pray I'm accepted, plagued and infested
-Preaching I'm the one to blame
-Never said I'm perfect, I guess that makes me worthless
-They tell me almost every day
-Well, baby, they say I'm a low life
Reiterating the acceptance of the "low life" label and the survival despite selling one's soul.
'Cause I sold my soul to the devil
-Gave up my life for the right price
-But I'll survive, I'm just a low life type
-I'm a low, I'm a low, I'm a low life
-I'm a low, I'm a low, I'm a low life type
-They'll drag you down into the dirt
Emphasizing the deceitful nature of external influences and the consequences of hidden actions.
(I'm a low, I'm a low life type)
-They'll show you what it's like to hurt
-(I'm a low, I'm a low life type)
-And they'll fool you 'til you come and pay
-(I'm a low, I'm a low life type)
-To tie you into what you hide
-(I'm a low, I'm a low life type)
-Yeah, you're no better than me
Reiterating the theme of equality, challenging judgment.
It's a shame that you think I'm a failure
Responding to negative perceptions, asserting self-worth despite being considered a failure.
I can still see a man with his head held high
-But what can I do to make it right?
-You're still gonna think I'm a low life type
-I'm a low, I'm a low, I'm a low life
Reaffirming the acceptance of being a "low life" type.
I'm a low, I'm a low, I'm a low life type
-They'll drag you down into the dirt
Warning about the manipulative nature of external forces and the consequences of hiding the truth.
(I'm a low, I'm a low life type)
-They'll show you what it's like to hurt
-(I'm a low, I'm a low life type)
-And they'll fool you 'til you come and pay
-(I'm a low, I'm a low life type)
-To tie you into what you hide
-(I'm a low, I'm a low life type)
-Yeah, you're no better than me
Asserting equality, challenging the idea of being inferior.
