Revolution Weekend
Revolution Weekend: Unmasking Society's Chains in U.S. Bombs' Anthem
Lyrics
It's automatic, it's automatic
Highlighting the automatic nature of a situation, possibly a negative one
You're livin' on the streets
Describing a person living on the streets
Lost your job to a robot
Job loss to automation, addressing societal challenges
And you gave up to drink'
Suggesting coping through alcohol in response to hardships
Talking and babbling
Distinguishing between talking and meaningful communication
Are two different things
Expressing the futility of certain actions
The hell you gonna lose anyway
Acceptance of an impending negative outcome
Take back the U.S.A
Call to reclaim or restore the United States
Whose side are you really on?
Questioning loyalty or alignment in a broader context
A closet suits as bad as a cop
Criticizing conformity, comparing a closet suit to a police officer pretending to be a punk
Who moonlights as punk
Highlighting contradictions or dual roles
Revolution weekend
Introducing the theme of a revolutionary weekend
Weekend revolution, now my friend
Reiteration of the revolutionary theme
Storm the U.S. embassy
Suggesting an act of protest at the U.S. embassy
Ship the suits to the army
Advocating resistance against authority, sending suits (representing authority) to the army
Drag your leader through the street
Symbolic act of disgracing a leader in public
They're killing us anyways
Addressing the inevitability of harm or repression
Fuck your revolution!
Rejecting the notion of revolution, expressing dissent or disillusionment
