Lyrics

See him all alone,

Observing an individual in solitude.

No one seems to like him, he's uncool,

Not well-liked by others, considered uncool.

No one seems to like the way he rules,

Disapproval of the way he governs or controls things.

See them all alone,

Observing a group of people in isolation.

Talking of the secrets of the moon,

Discussing mysterious or hidden matters, possibly unproductive.

Spending hard-earned money they'll just lose.

Spending money on things that will not yield returns.


Chorus

Chorus begins.

What we really want is some way to adjust,

Desire for a way to modify or adapt societal values.

All the values that we have been left to trust,

Questioning the trustworthiness of established values.

I just can't believe they are real, very real,

Expressing disbelief in the authenticity of certain things.

Far from real

Emphasizing the perceived distance from reality.


See them on their own,

Observing a group in isolation again.

See their cartoon faves in the news,

Noticing the presence of favorite characters in the media.

Storming from the house in ones and two's,

People leaving a place, possibly expressing discontent.

Can you hear them cry,

Audible expressions of distress or dissatisfaction.

Making accustions to each other,

Accusations being made between individuals.

Campaigning for the mark of a young mother.

Engaging in a campaign for the recognition of young mothers.


Chorus

Chorus repeats.

What we really want is some way to adjust,

Reiteration of the desire for societal adjustments.

All the values that we have been left to trust,

Repeating skepticism towards established values.

I just can't believe they are real, very real,

Re-emphasizing disbelief in the authenticity of certain things.

Far from real

Reiteration of the perceived distance from reality.


What we really want is some way to adjust,

Repetition of the desire for societal adjustments.

All the values that we have been left to trust,

Repeating the questioning of established values.

I just can't believe

Reiterating disbelief in the authenticity of certain things.

They're real, very real,

Restating the perceived distance from reality.

Far from real,

Further emphasis on the perceived distance from reality.

See them all alone

Observing a group of people in isolation once more.

See them all alone.

Reiteration of observing individuals in solitude.
