Lyrics
I'm a zero, not a number
I feel insignificant, not recognized as an individual
You can't say my name
My identity is not acknowledged or spoken
Can't keep me under
I cannot be controlled or confined
I'm a loser, I am loose
I am a failure, lacking tightness or restraint
Stay up late, like a monkey on juice
I stay awake late, full of energy like a hyperactive person
Freedom, Freedom
An expression of desire for freedom
TV screen's on
The television is turned on
I'm sick of watching
I'm tired of observing
The idiot box
Displeasure with mindless TV consumption
There's no time to get away
No opportunity to escape
Stay at home, let the politicians play
Suggests staying home while politicians make decisions
It's a jungle, in the city
Describing the urban environment as chaotic and unpredictable
Something new's gotta happen today
Anticipation of a need for change or something new
Call your boss you're unemployed
Call your employer; you're without a job
A creature feature, isolated in a void
Feeling like a character in a horror movie, isolated and empty
Call the man, sort what you can
Call someone who can help; take control of what you can
Police protection, part of the programme
Police protection is part of the societal structure
There's no time to get away
Reiteration of the lack of time to escape
Stay at home, let the politicians play
Recommending staying home and avoiding political chaos
It's a jungle, in the city
Repetition of the urban jungle theme and the need for change
Something new's gotta happen today
Expressing the urgency for something new to happen
There's no time to get away
Reiterating the lack of time to escape from the current situation
Stay at home, let the politicians play
Suggesting staying home as politicians continue to make decisions
It's a jungle, in the city
Emphasizing the chaotic nature of the city and the need for change
Something new's gotta happen today
Reinforcing the urgency for something new to happen in the city
And you're gone, so gone
Someone has left or disappeared
Drunk and dumb
Describing a state of being intoxicated and foolish
Gone, so gone
Reiteration of someone being gone, possibly due to substance use
You're stoned
Emphasizing the state of being under the influence of drugs
You're so stoned
Highlighting the intensity of being under the influence
There's no time to get away
Repetition of the lack of time to escape from the current situation
Stay at home, let the politicians play
Recommending staying home and avoiding political chaos
It's a jungle, in the city
Reiteration of the urban jungle theme and the need for change
Something new's gotta happen today
Expressing the urgency for something new to happen
