This song is about someone (like me) who is confused about the current state of politics. With telivision telling us all kinds of mixed messages. (Osama attacks us on US soil and the president vowed to catch him dead or alive but instead we end up catching Saddam, for example.)
"I got some people saying this way
I got some people saying that way
I got some people saying there's no way
Ain't it tough"
He is basically saying, it's tough to know which way is the right way when you have everyone telling you something different.
The general public (myself included, don't get bent about it) is a bunch of idiots. Watch us walk, watch us talk. Watch us write our names on the blackboards because we are WRONG, why are we wrong? because THEY said so. Watch our mindless bodies single file into the voting booth.
"And if you don't wanna feel like a putz
Collect the clues and connect the dots
You'll see the pattern that is
Bursting your bubble
And it's bad "
Pay attention to what is going on around you and use common sense. Make up your own mind. Question authority.
"You've seen the idiot walk
See the idiot talk
But you never learned nothing
And nothing isn't over"
You've seen it every day but you never learned anything from it. It's not too late to start now.
