Lyrics
For what it's worth, I've walked miles
Expressing the speaker's extensive experience or journey.
And I've seen the sun go down.
Reflecting on the passage of time, possibly with a sense of nostalgia.
Played my share of dues,
Referring to enduring hardships or challenges.
Yet you still want to put me down..
Despite the speaker's struggles, they face criticism or judgment.
Started on the bottom tell me
Questioning why the speaker finds themselves back in a difficult situation.
Why I feel here again.
Expressing frustration or confusion about returning to a challenging position.
It was at my expense, now you're cashing in.
Highlighting that someone else is benefiting from the speaker's sacrifices or expenses.
Make way for the boys in your town today,
Suggesting that others should make way for the speaker and their experiences.
Dig in your pockets, they've got a lot to say.
Encouraging others to contribute or support, possibly financially.
Look up on the wall,
Referring to merchandise or memorabilia related to the speaker's experiences.
They'll have some shirts for sale.
Implies the commercialization of the speaker's journey with shirts for sale.
Another week has passed
Noting the passage of time, possibly with a sense of repetition or monotony.
Can you keep up with the brand new scene,
Asking if others can keep up with the speaker's evolving experiences.
The music's changing
Observing changes in the music scene, possibly with some skepticism.
With the constant tapping of my feet.
Describing a constant and rhythmic engagement with the music.
Play it faster, play it slower,
Playing with the tempo of the music, suggesting experimentation or adaptation.
You still don't know,
Highlighting a lack of understanding or appreciation from others.
The music's not so important to you,
Suggesting that music may not hold the same significance for others.
It's what you're makin' off the show.
Emphasizing that the financial aspect is more important to some than the music itself.
Starting from the bottom again.
Expressing a sense of restarting or facing challenges once again.
