With nothing better to do
No one to come home to
I woefully conclude
To take it out on you
I'm bored to the extreme
This world of foolish dreams
Disillusion
I am not who I seem to be
Yeah sure I might do harm
and bear my right to arm
Retribution
If only someone would listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me

A room an empty shelf
A book on mental health
I look for inner wealth
A punish in myself
I'm bored to the extreme
This world of foolish dreams
Disillusion
I am not who I seem to be
Yeah sure I might do harm
And bare my right to arm
Retribution
If only someone would listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen to me

    This song, theme-wise, is similar to Rise Against's "Black Masks and Gasoline", which came after this song, but is a bit less metaphorical in its meaning. The Rise Against song contains the lines "I have an American dream but it involves black masks and gasoline Someday I'll turn these thoughts into screams on a world that turned its back down on me"

    I think both these songs share the idea of a person who has been beaten down to the breaking point by the world around them, from personal problems like family and relationships and friends to political problems and the media and the facelessness of society. The person is basically isolated and backed into a corner, to the point of lashing out violently, either literally or in their thoughts, against themselves or others. Just being pushed to the edge of insanity by every aspect of life in general and being left alone. Almost like Dark Side of the Moon, but compacted into a few minutes of punk rock fire.
