Freak out
And give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebody's fool this year
'cause they know
Who is righteous, What is bold
So I'm told
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
Hipsters unite
Come align for the big fight to rock for you
But beware
All those angels with their wings glued on
'cause deep down
We are frightened and we're scared
If you don't stare
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know,
Should have listened when I was told
Who wants honey
As long as there is some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
And give in
Doesn't matter what you believe in
Stay cool
And be somebody's fool this year
'cause they know
Who is righteous, What is bold
So I'm told
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
Hipsters unite
Come align for the big fight to rock for you
But beware
All those angels with their wings glued on
'cause deep down
We are frightened and we're scared
If you don't stare
Who wants honey
As long as there's some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Tell me all of your secrets
Cannot help but believe this is true
Tell me all of your secrets
I know, I know, I know,
Should have listened when I was told
Who wants honey
As long as there is some money
Who wants that honey?
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out

This song was definitely their opinion of the music industry, as I believe they made their money and ran as far away from it as they could. You've got to respect their firm adherence to their beliefs - it's refreshing.
There is a theme of rebellion in this song. "I know, I know, I know, should have listened when I was told," also with "Hipsters unite. Come align for the big fight to rock for you." I think he is on the side of the hipsters. You have to remember that at the time this was written, "hipster" didn't have such a negative connotation. Maybe the hipster THEN was actually someone who was on the fringe of artistic expression.
"Deep down we are frightened, and we're scared if you don't stare."
A sincere sounding lyric, if you ask me. I think it means that we all crave attention, even if it isn't much.
And the chorus has always been especially puzzling. I think the songwriter really doesn't care about money, as long as there's enough to get by, and that "honey" is just good feelings. Hell, I'd use that word to describe this whole album, matter of fact.
It's a classic song from a classic album and one of my long-time favorites.
I myself being a high school student interpret it this way:
The first part is about the popular kids, telling you hwo you should act, what you should do, what styles are in these days, anything like that...
The Chorus is about how everyones willing to be popular, have friends, be liked, get a boyfriend/girlfriend, the "Honey" Refering to all the good stuff
The second part is about the people who only pretend to be your friend whether to make fun of you or to make you look like an idiot (Trust me hald my "Friends" are like that. "The angels with their wings glued on" referring to the people who act sweet and nice to you, like "Angels" but it was all fake "The wings glued on"
"Let me out!" Obviously what half the people that are in highschool think, they want out for good
The second part is about the people you can actually get along with "Tell me all of your secrets" and "Shouldve listened to what im told" Would be all the trouble you face on your way.
AGAIN< thats just MY THEORY, the music industry idea makes sense to me, but thats a way I relate to it
I want to live my life this way, and get buried to this song.
the important thing is that amidst all this, he is staring longingly out the dirty window at a floating island in the sky, which could represent mental freedom and escape. he wants more than anything to be there, outside of this influence, and that's why the song is kinda sad to me, because in the end he gives in.
haha sorry, origionally this was going to be short, but it ended up me babbling for way to long about the gorillaz...again. oh well they deserve it. so does Billy! smashing pumpkins and gorillaz kick Miley cyrus' ass >:D
