Defying Norms: The Exploited's Alternative Anthem of Resistance
Lyrics
Something's happened what's gone wrong
Something undesirable has occurred, indicating a problem.
Going down the dole got to sign on
Registering for unemployment benefits due to lack of work.
Millions of kids with nowt to do
There are millions of unemployed youths.
You better watch out they're after you
There's a warning to be cautious as authorities may be targeting the unemployed.
Alternative
Suggesting an alternative lifestyle or viewpoint.
I don't want to join the army
Expressing a desire to avoid military service.
Alternative
Reiterating a rejection of joining the army.
I know it's a waste of time
Recognizing that joining the army is futile.
Alternative
Stating that according to others, there's no other option.
No alternative is what they say
There's supposedly no other choice according to prevailing beliefs.
Alternative
Still asserting personal autonomy and choice.
The choice is mine
Emphasizing the individual's control over their decisions.
Politicians what do they care
Critiquing politicians for their self-serving nature.
They're all money grabbers they're after their share
Accusing politicians of pursuing money for themselves.
They don't even care if you get shot
Indifference of politicians towards people facing harm.
Cause there ain't no way they'll be there
Politicians won't be present in dangerous situations.
Do you really want to die
Rhetorical question about the willingness to die.
Alternative
Again, presenting an alternative to engaging in war.
Kill other people just to survive
Questioning the morality of killing for survival.
Alternative
Highlighting freedom only in death, not in life.
Only the dead have their freedom
Stating that living individuals endure the most suffering.
Alternative
Reflecting on the pain and struggle of the living.
It's the living that's got to suffer most
Living people bear the brunt of hardships and challenges.
