I'm feeling what I want to feel
I'm saying what I've said all along
Because I know the things that are important to me
Because life is too short to be long

And those thoughts
That I've kept inside
With those words
That I could not hide

Before those times that always remind me
That all I ever did was try
So change your tune one step to make a stand
I want to speak my mind start my own African tribe

I'm alone now, run into the deepest pile of shit
Cause that's where I'm going to blend in, go!
Those choices that I've never made
With those decisions that once cut me a break

Cause after all what's left in the end
There's somethings that they just can't take
So take a bow
Well you're not that great

Go pat your back
Go off and masturbate
'Cause one thing that you know for sure
Your hand is not a lonesome date

    General Comment:i bet this song is about being your own "cool:" having your own ideas, opinions, and style, not conforming... even though, sadly, that kind of attitude isn't what gets the chicks :(

    hence, masturbation!

    General Comment:Just to tell everyone that 'ZULU' is a African language and culture!
    It used to also be a type of tribe but now that africa has modernised, you don't see many tribes anymore!

    General Comment:hehe. makes me wanna say, go Tom! I like the positivity of the song it's kinda uplifting, especially if you've had a sucky day or run into sucky people. It's pretty self-explanatory, I think it's like a fuck you song and being sick of trying to be or say what people expect and annoyed at jerks who think they are better than you and it's like, whatever, I'm so over it kinda thing, if you get my gist.
