I'm the kid that no one knows
I live a life I never chose
But these thoughts in my mind
Are my own my own

I'm face to face with the unknown
My scary movie will be shown
I've got one evil mind
Of my own of my own

Chorus
We take from one another
We never stop to wonder
How it feels from the other side
But nothing lasts forever
When stupid turns to clever
Why are you suprised

Little know it all little know it all
Ten bucks in my hands
Little know it all little know it all
Don't cry I understand

I'm a target although smart
They got ambition I've got heart
I'm analyzed and tagged
Before I start

So tell me who can I respect
I feel the leash around my neck
As I find out there's shame
In the game in the game

Chorus

And I feel like
I'm caught outside the box
And I feel like
I'm sleeping when I'm not

Looking for the real thing
Looking for the real thing

Chorus

Little know it all little know it all
Ten bucks in my hands
Little know it all little know it all
Don't cry I understand
You'll never know it all little know it all
Ten bucks in my hands
Little know it all little know it all
Don't cry I understand
You'll never know it all

    My Interpretation:I heard this song in the clip of the cage and the road. Thought it was only Iggy Pop and then found it was with Sum 41.
    WTF?!
    I found weird before, that this song sounds more "modern" than I'm used to hear from other Iggy songs.

    Anyway, Feliciano2040 said well, but is a very short answer.
    It seems about how people naturally have two sides and you are only able to see one and also about how things can be turned inside out after some time.
    I've never been a huge Iggy fan to be honest, but I remember a girl telling me he was the dexter guy, doing everything right. After some experiences, he started to be that guy rolling over broken glass...
    And both ones are real, but you only see one side and believes that's all you have to know about him.

    This lyrics seem to be also, much about this: "I live a life I never chose".
    "And I feel like
    I'm sleeping when I'm not

    Looking for the real thing".


    How can you even dream with the life you want if you walk underneath a blanket?
    Like, there is a whole world inside begging to just pop out and explode and there is no sight of chance for that to happen?

    Great lyrics, great song! Can relate to this 100%!
    Cheers!

    General Comment:People, THE MEANING X-D !

    I think it's a song about "teen losers", about the nerds who did better than the people who bullied them.

    General Comment:I agree, great song, and Iggy Pop with Sum 41 is awesome. But it sounds like, "They got ambition," and not 'ammunition'.

    General Comment:iggy is a legend - he is a god. i got to scream lines from "i wanna be your dog" into the mic when i saw him live. that was one of the most amazing shows he's ever done. if iggy hand-picked sum 41, then there's proof that they're worthy. they've come to be so much more than the band that raps about iron maiden, old people and mullets. and besides, that doesn't even matter. it's about the music, and this song is killer.
