I Say
Artificial Joy Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The V-chip on my tongue's gone berserk yeah yeah
One channel left
I hope you like my talk show network
Can dress me up
Can't take me out
I'll make you squirm
'Cause I say what I feel, it gets me into trouble
Yeah I feel what I say, I don't care anyway
And I do what I like, it doesn't make me humble
I like what I do, it's just my attitude
Steve Austin and I both have bionic mouths yeah yeah
His saves the world, mine just spews whatever out
Sometimes my foot gets really stuck
Inside my mouth
I don't give a fuck oh oh
'Cause I say what I feel, it gets me into trouble
Yeah I feel what I say, I don't care anyway
And I do who I like, it doesn't make me humble
And I like who I do, it's just my attitude oh oh oh oh oh oh
Hey badabing, hey badaboom!
My lines don't come on silver spoons
You don't get refunds when you buy my brand of etiquette
'Cause I say what I feel, it gets me into trouble
Yeah I feel what I say, I don't care anyway
Yeah I do what I like, it doesn't make me humble
And I like what I do, it's just my attitude
'Cause I say what I feel, it gets me into trouble
Yeah I feel what I say, I don't care anyway
'Cause I do who I like, it doesn't make me humble
And I like who I do, it's just my attitude
It's just my attitude oh
It's just my attitude
It's just my attitude
The lyrics of "I Say" by Artificial Joy Club reflect an unapologetic attitude towards speaking one's mind. The first verse talks about the singer's filter being broken, represented by the "V-chip on my tongue gone berserk." They acknowledge that they may offend people with their talk show network, but they do not seem to care. The chorus repeats that they say what they feel, and that gets them into trouble, but they do not care anyway. The second verse compares the singer's mouth to Steve Austin's, both bionic in their own way. The singer acknowledges that they often put their foot in their mouth, but they again do not care. The bridge uses the phrase "hey badabing, hey badaboom" to show that the singer's lines do not come on silver spoons, or with any sort of graceful delivery. They acknowledge that people may not like them or their style, but it is just their attitude.
Overall, "I Say" is a song about not caring about the consequences or the filters when it comes to speaking one's mind. It is an anthem for those who refuse to be silenced or filtered.
