I can't say what I want to,
Even if I'm not serious.
Things like
"Fuck yourself,
Kill yourself,
You piece of shit."
People tell me what to say,
What to think,
And what to play.
I say
"Go fuck yourself,
You piece of shit.
Why don't you go kill yourself?"
Just kidding.
Even if I'm not serious.

one is that its a passive aggressive song about censorship
the second and more likely given tools other songs is that it is talking about how we are molded to avoid our "shadow selves" (see carl jung). As children we are taught and society reinforces certain taboos and beliefs. even joking about these taboos is considered odd behavior and forces that side of us into the shadowich . facing and accepting these thoughts and feelings as part of us is key to growth. he is being himself and saying he is not going to do what society says because just because its taboo. he instead embraces that side and shows some passive agressivness by saying something offensive. the irony i think is he is just kidding and hes not being sarcastic. the point is to show others that being uncomfortable about just the words not the intent is ridiculous. for example i could say i don't like so and so and in my heart want to kill them but thats socially acceptable to actually not like someone or even hate someone but oddly enough people are more put off by a joke or humor that is in "bad taste".
then he blatantly says people tell him what to say and what to do,
& then the just kidding part makes me see the song as though he's actually writing an anti-censorship song but at the same time censoring it in essence by putting the "just kidding" part.
kind of like if someone says something nasty and they see that the person is upset and say i was just kidding! even if they were being serious.
i think it's clever.
BTW, the music video is AWESOME. Check it out.
it gives u nice rage, like rage against the machine! haha
