You don't mean it

You need a uniform
So you won't be ignored
You are affected
And so you're accepted

It's time you invested in a bottle of poison
So we don't have to hear about your bitchin and moanin
You think you could afford a fuckin bottle of asprin

Boo fuckin hoo you're not the only one whose live's a piece of shit
And yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it
Did anybody think that you would really seriously slit your wrists
In fact I think that everybody thinks you're seriously full of shit

You don't mean it

You need a uniform
So you won't be ignored
You are affected
And so you're accepted

It's time you invested in a bottle of poison
So we don't have to hear about your bitchin and moanin
You think you could afford a fuckin bottle of asprin

You think you're saying something relevant as you connect the dots
You never realized you have to get in line to suck a cock
You're telling me that fifty million screaming fans are never wrong
I'm telling you that fifty million screaming fans are fucking morons

You don't mean it
So you're accepted

Boo fuckin hoo you're not the only one whose live's a piece of shit
And yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it
Did anybody think that you would really seriously slit your wrists
In fact I think that everybody thinks you're seriously full of shit

You think you're saying something relevant as you connect the dots
You never realized you have to get in line to suck a cock
You're telling me that fifty million screaming fans are never wrong
I'm telling you that fifty million screaming fans are fucking morons

Boo fuckin hoo you're not the only one whose live's a piece of shit
And yet miraculously somehow we all seem to deal with it
Did anybody think that you would really seriously slit your wrists
In fact I think that everybody thinks you're seriously full of shit

You think you're saying something relevant as you connect the dots
You never realized you have to get in line to suck a cock
You're telling me that fifty million screaming fans are never wrong
I'm telling you that fifty million screaming fans are fucking morons

You don't mean it

    General Comment:I think this one's pretty easy to discern the meaning of.
    It's telling all the whiny "my life sucks I'm so depressed so I'm gonna whine to the public about it and deliberately go against the grain" kids to suck it up. "It's time you invested in a bottle of poison so we don't have to hear about your bitching and moaning. You think you could afford a fucking bottle of aspirin!" They're saying "if it's so bad, just off yourself. It's not that hard to get rid of that perpetual headache on your own, rather than giving it to us."
    It's also another song speaking out against other bands- this time against worshiping them. "You never realized you had to get in line to suck a cock. You're telling me that fifty-million screaming fans are never wrong? I'm telling you that fifty-million screaming fans are fucking morons!" Pretty self-explanatory.

    General Comment:Anyone who's focusing on one group of people with their definition is a complete moron. The song is about the growing trend in contemporary music where artists just put out grating melodrama for teens of all types to eat up. It doesn't matter if it's My Chemical Romance, Korn, or Avril Lavigne. The point Jimmy is trying to make is that it's all insipid bullshit that everyone involved in should be ashamed of. Hell, the name of the band refers to this, and I'm fairly certain there's at least one song on every album they've made that tries to illustrate this point.

    And yet half of his fans don't get it. There's a reason why he's a bit passive aggressive towards us.

    My Opinion:I know that the song is about people who fit into silly trends and stuff,
    BUT its also about mainstream bands such as MCR (just an example) influencing soo many kids with the same irrelevant messages and ALSO the way that people listen to these bands because people tell them that they are good instead of thinking for themselves ( this does not count for everyone as some people like these bands just because they enjoy the music).

    General Comment:This song makes me think...And if you think about it, he's singing about us just as much as he's singing about anyone else. Everything is so fucking tangled...But yeah, everyone else nailed the song's meaning.

    General Comment:'You're telling me that 50 million screaming fans are never wrong,
    I'm telling you that 50 million screaming fans are fucking morons.'

    Fuck Nirvana.

    Didn't the emo/goth thing used to be about 'suffering in silence', or atleast I preferred it that way.

    Let's get this straight, You. Are. NOT. Goth. Or. Emo. If. You. Say. That. You. Are, arsehole.

    General Comment:Thank you MSI for writing this song so I didn't have to! Waa. I have a decent education, live in a prosperous nation where the lower middle class exceeds the wealth of most countries' upper classes, have a future to live for. God. Angst is such a fad sometimes.
