This is the electric lounge
This refers to the setting, possibly a place called the electric lounge.
No one's afraid to laugh
People at the electric lounge are comfortable and not afraid to express joy.
They say c'mon, man
An invitation or encouragement to relax and enjoy.
Just let me break your back
Suggestive of a daring or provocative offer, perhaps metaphorical.
Talk about the medallin'
Discussing matters related to medals or achievements.
And what's on tap
Referring to the available drinks and beverages.
What else you come here for
Questioning the purpose of being in this place.
What else could this be about
Raising the question of the true nature or meaning of the situation.
Well for me I'm just waiting for the kid to come out

Let it bleed

In the tradition of your nationalized tracts

Outside between the bands

It's hard to put down
Difficult to suppress what one wants to express.
What you can't hold back
The challenge of holding back one's emotions or desires.
And this is like being alive
Comparing the experience to being alive and dynamic.
It flows right out of your mouth
The ease with which thoughts and emotions are vocalized.
Here at the electric lounge

No one's afraid to laugh
Reassurance that laughter is not discouraged.
Because you'll get just what you've come to expect

You can stick all that up your ass
A dismissive or rebellious statement towards certain expectations.
Because me I'm just waiting for the kid to come out
