A thousand men in uniform

Kicked down the doors of my concern
Suggesting an intrusion or disturbance into personal matters or concerns.
And stormed the kingdom

To take its worth
Implies the intention to claim or seize what is considered valuable.
Leaving every stone unturned
Leaving no aspect untouched, indicating a thorough disruption or upheaval.
A thousand men in uniform

Kicked down the doors of my concern
-And stormed the kingdom

-Leaving every stone unturned
-Fate can pick you up, you know that it can put you down
Fate's unpredictable nature, its ability to uplift and bring down, and a warning against hindrance.
It can pick you up and spin your head around and round
-If you hold us back you know that we can shout
-We brought you into this place you know we can take you out
-You've been in school for ten years now
Depicting the challenges of education, debt, and the harsh reality of life.
Eighty grand indebted down
-Every day's a missile test
-Your dancing shoes and torn up dress
-2017 we know
