Do What You Do
Rebel Against the Norms: Embracing Individuality in a Twisted World
Lyrics
1-2-3 Go
Expressing readiness or encouragement to start something.
When you ask me about the world today
When questioned about the state of the world.
I'll just turn my head and look the other way
Avoidance or denial of acknowledging problems.
The world's fucked up for you and me
Highlighting the messed-up state of the world.
It ain't no good place can't you see
Emphasizing the world's unfavorable condition.
What's going on with mother earth
Concern about the state of the environment.
It's packed with shit, filth and dirt
Describing the earth as polluted and unclean.
It' s man's creation, human's fault
Attributing environmental issues to human actions.
We let the nature in the cold
Regret for neglecting nature.
Do what you do
An encouragement to be true to oneself.
And not what they tell you
Advocating independent action, not influenced by others.
Do what you do
Reiteration of the call for personal authenticity.
And don't let them treat you like a fool
Warning against being manipulated or taken advantage of.
When you ask me about the people today
When asked about people in general.
Just get out, get out of my way
Expression of frustration, a desire for personal space.
People are strange, way too strange
Critique of societal oddities and excess population.
We're with too many anyway
Perceived overcrowding and the need to stick with close relationships.
So I'll just stick together with my mates
Choosing solidarity with those close rather than with the disliked.
My family, not the ones that I hate
Preference for family over disliked individuals.
I'll do my thing and you do yours
Emphasizing individualism and personal freedom.
Never get in the way, sunshine
Advice to avoid hindrances and negativity.
Do what you do
Repetition of the call for individuality.
And not what they tell you
Encouragement to resist external pressures.
Do what you do
Reiteration of not succumbing to manipulation.
And don't let them treat you like a fool
Warning against being deceived or treated foolishly.
When you ask me about our country today
Response to a query about the current state of the country.
Just fuck off it doesn't matter anyway
Expressing indifference and frustration towards the country.
This country is sick, way to sick
Critical view of the country's condition and leadership.
People who rule it are all to blame
Attributing the country's issues to its rulers.
So I'll just keep busy with the things I like
Choosing personal interests over political engagement.
Surely not politics cause that's what I hate
Expressing dislike for politics.
Yes this is our country this is our land
Acknowledging ownership and the desire for improvement.
We try to bring it to the upperhand
Commitment to uplifting the country.
Do what you do
Repetition of the call for individual authenticity.
And not what they tell you
Reiteration of resistance against external influence.
Do what you do
Restating the importance of personal autonomy.
And don't let them treat you like a fool
Warning against being manipulated or treated foolishly.
Do what you do
Emphasizing the call for personal authenticity.
And not what they tell you
Reiteration of resistance against external influence.
Do what you do
Restating the importance of personal autonomy.
And don't let them treat you like a fool
Final warning against being deceived or treated foolishly.
