It's also about how people react to certain situations
"7 ways to go through school,
either you're noticed or left out,
7 ways to get ahead,
7 reasons to drop out"
Much of the song is also about the way society expects people to behave and how people react to that behaviour.
"There is a time when we all fail,
some people take it pretty well,
some take it all out on themselves,
some they just take it out on friends,
oh everybody plays the game,
and if you don't you're called insane"
The only bit I can't figure out is...
"Don't don't don't don't it's not safe no more,
i've got to see you one more time,
soon you were born,
in 1984"
I also think it's 'SON you were born...' rather than 'soon...'
Great song though, probably my favourite Strokes song.
