Lyrics
Why oh why, yeah the kids are screaming
Expressing frustration or questioning; the youth are vocalizing discontent.
don't make the MUSAK you don't believe in
Don't produce music you don't believe in; stay true to your convictions.
killing time when you should be screaming
Engaging in unproductive activities instead of expressing oneself passionately.
check my pulse yeah this heart's still beating
Despite challenges, the artist remains alive and resilient.
radio playing the same old shit
Criticizing the repetitive nature of mainstream radio content.
you start taking us for complete fools
Perceived disrespect, being underestimated or taken advantage of.
you own it you control it
Addressing control and ownership of creative expression.
but me and my band yeah we missed the drag net...
The band feels excluded or overlooked.
FOOT SOLDIERZ!
Declaration of strength and unity, likening the band to foot soldiers.
I'm here to start a new religion
Desire to establish a new, independent belief system.
one that you have no control of
Rejecting external control over the new belief system.
you pump the tune on your radio show
Reference to promoting their music on the radio, but with diminishing impact.
but nobody cares about you anymore
Indifference to public opinion or recognition.
we're alien but we landed her first
Asserting uniqueness and claiming arrival before others in the scene.
and hit the scene just as the bubble burst
Entering the music scene coinciding with a decline in popularity.
don't own us or control us
Rejecting external control and ownership; asserting independence.
''cause me and my band yeah we rule the universe
Claiming authority and dominance over their creative space.
FOOT SOLDIERZ!
Reiteration of strength and unity as foot soldiers.
It's not what you can do for your country
Reframing the famous quote, emphasizing personal gain from one's country.
it's what your country can do for you
-It's not what you can do for your country
-it's what your country can do for you
-It's not what you can do for your country
-it's what your country can do for you
-It's not what you can do for your country
-it's what your country can do for you
-FOOT SOLDIERZ!!!
Reaffirmation of strength and unity as foot soldiers, possibly with increased intensity.
