Lyrics
Said he's going on a mission
Said he's embarking on a mission
One of global exploration
A mission of global exploration
Said he's leaving town tonight
Expresses the intention to leave town tonight
Time for some personal reflection
Time for personal reflection
Time to take a new direction
Time to change life's direction
And leave this life behind
Leaving the current life behind
He's tired of the racist people
Expresses fatigue with racist individuals
Says the world is fuckin evil
Believes the world is inherently evil
"I've lost faith in human kind"
Lost faith in humanity
What's so wrong about our problems
Questioning why our problems persist
That we can't even solve them without pointless loss of life?
Reflection on the inability to solve problems without unnecessary loss of life
It's been going on for so long
Recognition that issues persist over time
I know that we'll never see a change in our society
Pessimistic view on the possibility of societal change
Inherent violence
Acknowledging inherent violence
We're being brought up to fail
Commenting on a society that fosters failure
We've finally come to terms with this reality
Acknowledgment of accepting a harsh reality
Between racial discrimination
Issues related to racial discrimination
Cultural assimilation
Challenges of cultural assimilation
We've got a problem we can't hide
Highlighting an unavoidable problem
You see these people with addictions from the safety of your kitchen
Observation of people with addictions and judgment from a distance
And you judge them on their lives
Judging individuals based on their lives
All it takes is some compassion
Stressing the importance of compassion
Empathy, and understanding
Advocating for empathy and understanding
But you won't even try
Expressing frustration at the lack of effort to understand
Now it's creeping up behind us
Noticing societal issues approaching
White collar citizens in a fuss
White-collar citizens getting anxious
Screaming "someone think of the children!"
Reacting to societal issues affecting children
It's been going on for so long
Reiteration of persistent societal problems
I know that we'll never see a change in our society
Repeating skepticism about societal change
Inherent violence
Reiterating the acknowledgment of inherent violence
We're being brought up to fail
Re-emphasizing the idea of societal failure
We've finally come to terms with this reality
Confirmation of acceptance of a harsh reality
