Lyrics
When I was young
Reflecting on childhood experiences
I would scream blue murder
Expressing frustration or distress intensely
Till I had my own way
Insistence on having one's own way
Run from the family
Choosing to distance oneself from family
And tell of a story to spite my elders
Telling tales to defy or annoy elders
Round and round, the boy
Describing a person, perhaps the speaker, navigating falsehoods
In the garden of lies and science fiction
Mention of a deceptive environment mixing lies and science fiction
Brother and sister and father of mine
Addressing family members, acknowledging familial bonds
Keep us together and keep us in line
Highlighting the importance of family unity and discipline
A lot we depend on a lot we can do
Emphasizing dependence and capability within the family
Send love to mother I'll be good to you
Pledging to be good and expressing love to the mother
To pollute the mind of a minor
Discussing the corruption of a young mind
The only escape from the rigors of life
Presenting escapism as the only relief from life's challenges
Pretend we're a family and believe
Advocating for a pretense of family unity and belief in truth
In the virtues of truth
Belief in the virtues of truth despite the deceptive surroundings
Round and round, caught up
Describing entanglement in deception, perhaps cyclic
In a garden of lies and deception
Reiteration of being trapped in a deceptive environment
Brother and sister and father of mine
Repeating the familial address, emphasizing unity and discipline
Keep us together and keep us in line
Stressing the importance of keeping the family together and disciplined
A lot we depend on a lot we can do
Reiterating dependence on family and capability to act
Send love to mother I'll be good to you
Reaffirming love and commitment to the mother
Round and round and round and round
Repetition of being caught in a cyclical pattern
