Lyrics and Their Meaning:

You say that I'm too complicated

You say I'm confusing

Hung up and mis-educated

Naughty and that I don't have an education

I say nine to five is overratedI'm saying, why are we working for such a long time?And we all fall down

"        "  (from exhaustion)

I can't sleep 'cause my mind keeps racing

There's too much on my mind and it's keeping me from sleeping

My chest hurts 'cause my heart keeps breaking

I've been in an emotional state that my heart won't stop breaking

I'm so numb and I can't stop shaking

I've probably caught the flu (or Coronavirus [I know I just cracked a joke about it, but please don't joke about Coronavirus. I'm being a bit hypocritical but oh well])

Frustration, desperation

I'm frustrated and in a state of despair

You say I need some kind of medication

She'd put me on meds

Situation, no motivation

There's a situation, I got no motivation

Destination, permanent vacation

Let's have a holiday forever!

Hey, I'm doing fine

Yeah! I'm totally doing fine (sarcasm)

And I know I'm out of line

And I need to pull myself back into line

So let's sing this one more time

So scream it with me now

It goes

Self explanatory

Na-na, na-na na na

A random bunch of 'na's

Voices coming through the speaker

There's a microphone connected to some speakers and someone is making some noise from said speaker

They can't make me a believer

However, they can't convince me to not be me

I know I'm an under-achiever

I don't care if I'm a straight D student

And we're all so proud

Because it was my best

Watch out, I think we're going under

Self explanatory

Right now, you're just another number

We're all downgraded to just a number (IQ and SASE points)

Get out, the system's in the gutter

The system is shit so get out now

Congratulations, your imitations

Congrats! You're pretending to be someone else!

Are taking over the radio stations

And they're going viral

Corporations, calculations

Companies and calculations

We're the voice of the new generation

Are celebrating you because you're going to bring this world up


Yay or Nay: ABSOLUTE YAY!!

What It Reminds Me Of: This song is the absolute party song! You can jump and dance to it and go a little crazy too!
