Lyrics
Anything that you want to do, anyplace that you want to go
Encouragement to pursue one's desires and aspirations without constraints.
Don't need permission for everything that you want
Freedom emphasized; no need for approval in pursuing personal goals.
Any taste that you feel is right
Expression of individual taste is supported and encouraged.
Wear any clothes just as long as they're bright
Fashion choices are unrestricted, as long as they are vibrant.
Say what you want, 'cos this is a new art school
Declaration of a new era or philosophy – "this is a new art school."
Do what you want if it takes your mind
Freedom to act as one wishes, especially if it aligns with personal thoughts.
Better do it now, 'cos you won't have time
Emphasis on taking action promptly due to the fleeting nature of time.
And never worry if people laugh at you
Encouragement to disregard concerns about being ridiculed.
The fools only laugh 'cos they envy you
Laughing at you is driven by envy, implying the value of individuality.
Time is motion and the hands are fast
Time is portrayed as moving quickly, urging swift action.
Young words are mumbled, they don't always last
Suggesting that youthful expressions and words may not endure.
It's up to us to be sure they understand
Responsibility to ensure understanding of the younger generation's perspectives.
Who makes the rules that make people select
Raising questions about who establishes societal rules and norms.
Who is to judge that your ways are correct
Challenging the notion of a singular correct way of living.
The media as watchdog is absolute shit
Criticism of the media's role as a watchdog and its impact on shaping opinions.
The TV telling you what to think
Critique of television influencing thought processes.
Anything that you want to do, anyplace that you want to go
Reiteration of the earlier encouragement for unrestricted pursuits.
Don't need permission for everything that you want
Emphasis on freedom without seeking permission for personal choices.
Any taste that you feel is right
Reiteration of support for diverse and individual tastes.
Wear any clothes just as long as they're bright
Freedom in clothing choices, emphasizing brightness.
Say what you want, 'cos this is a new art school
Restatement of the declaration of a new era or philosophy.
Do what you want, 'cos this is the new art school
Encouragement to act freely, reinforcing the idea of a new art school.
