Lyrics
Well I'm standing here looking at you
Observing someone
What do I see?
Questioning what is visible
I'm looking straight through
Seeing beyond the surface
It's so sad
Expressing a feeling of sadness
When you're young
Commenting on the challenges of youth
To be told
Being instructed while young that one is enjoying oneself
You're having fun
Reflecting on the contradiction in such instructions
So unplug the jukebox
Suggesting to stop the music for everyone's benefit
And do us all a favour
Encouraging a collective action
That music's lost its taste
Claiming that the current music has lost its appeal
So try another flavour
Advocating for trying a different musical style
"antmusic"
Introducing the term "antmusic" as a symbol
Well I'm standing here what do I see?
Continuing observation and questioning
A big nothing
Perceiving emptiness or insignificance
Threatening me
Feeling threatened by a lack of substance
It's so sad
Reiterating a sense of sadness
When you're young
Repeating the challenges of youth theme
To be told
Reiterating the contradiction in youthful enjoyment
You're having fun
Reiterating the commentary on youth
So unplug the jukebox
Repeating the call to stop the music
And do us all a favour
Reiterating the encouragement for collective action
That music's lost its taste
Reiterating the critique of current music
So try another flavour
Reiterating the suggestion to explore different music
"antmusic"
Repeating the term "antmusic" for emphasis
Don't tread on an ant he's done nothing to you
Advising against harming the insignificant (ant)
There might come a day
Warning of potential consequences in the future
When he's treading on you
Highlighting potential retaliation if mistreated
Don't tread on an ant you'll end up black and blue
Cautioning against causing harm to the insignificant
You cut off his head
Describing a consequence of mistreatment
Legs come looking for you
Portraying a consequence of harm inflicted
So unplug the jukebox
Repeating the suggestion to halt the music
And do us all a favour
Reiterating the encouragement for collective action
That music's lost its taste
Reiterating the critique of current music
So try another flavour
Reiterating the suggestion to explore different music
"antmusic"
Repeating the term "antmusic" as a final emphasis
