John Z DeLorean
Corporate Rebellion: Johnny Z's Fight Against the System
Lyrics
The police said that I am the enemy and they won't leave me alone
The police consider me an enemy, and they persistently bother me.
I'm detained but they hit their quota, hope the boss throws the whole precinct a bone
Although I'm detained, the police meet their quota, and I hope the higher-ups reward the entire precinct.
This doesn't have to be, just let me leave here and delete this scene
I wish to be released from this situation, and the request is to erase this incident from records.
I'm not the one to be had, I'm the one to believe
I'm not someone to be taken advantage of; instead, I am someone to trust and have faith in.
Now they've read me my rights, I don't wanna be the man I am in their photographs
After being informed of my rights, I dislike being portrayed as the person captured in their photos.
Why would you lead me on? You're so damn angry
Expressing confusion about being misled or deceived, and frustration towards someone extremely angry.
You hate the mind I have, drives you mad, so you overthrow me
There's resentment towards the intelligence or thoughts I possess, leading to a rebellion or overthrow against me.
Johnny Z dared, Johnny Z cared, but
John Z DeLorean dared to do things, cared about certain matters, but...
Johnny beware, they're gonna leave their eye on you, but I know you
A cautionary note about being under scrutiny, despite knowing who John Z is.
High at the top of corporate America was no air for me to breathe
At the pinnacle of corporate America, there was no space for me, and I struggled to breathe.
I took a risk, changed the machine's motors,
I took a risk by altering the machine's motors.
Ever-destined to construct a dream
Destined to create a dream, regardless of the challenges.
Default celebrity, but your magazine cover's not my legacy
Despite achieving celebrity status, the real legacy is not reflected in magazine covers.
I resigned, you attacked, high and dry, you entrapped, guess I strayed from the wolfpack, and now you're gonna smear my name with your new photographs
I resigned, faced attacks, felt abandoned, and accused of deviating from the established group, leading to a tarnished reputation through new photos.
Why would you lead me on? You're so damn angry
Reiteration of being misled and frustration towards intense anger.
You hate the mind I have, drives you mad, so you overthrow me
Continued resentment towards the intelligence possessed, resulting in a rebellion or overthrow.
Johnny Z dared, Johnny Z cared, but
John Z dared and cared, but...
Johnny beware, they're gonna leave their eye on you, but I know you
A warning about continued scrutiny despite knowing who John Z is.
The jury said that I'm not the enemy, so just leave me alone
The jury has declared that I am not the enemy, requesting to be left alone.
The jury said that I'm not the enemy, so just leave me alone
Repetition of the jury's verdict of not being the enemy, emphasizing the desire to be left alone.
Why would you lead me on? You're so damn angry
Reiteration of confusion and frustration about being misled.
You hate the mind I have, drives you mad, so you overthrow me
Continued resentment towards the intelligence possessed, resulting in a rebellion or overthrow.
Johnny Z dared, Johnny Z cared, but
John Z dared and cared, but...
Johnny beware, they're gonna leave their eye on you, but I know you
A repeated warning about continued scrutiny despite knowing who John Z is.
