Thieves
Big D the kids table Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hypocrites and bastards
Hey thanks for nothing!
Morals in the dust
Two-faced bastards and syncophants
No trust
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of their mouth do you suppose that it came?
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of the grass is greener?
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know
You're like a great big fucking gun,
Just waiting to get squeezed!
Breathe, forfeit erection!
Toxical injection
Geriatric fuck-fest
We still believe in lies
Thieves! liar!
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, we don't know
Who started it? who started it?
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of their mouth do you suppose that it came?
Which side are they? which side are they?
Which side of the grass is greener?
Inside, outside, which side, you don't know
My side, your side, their side, no one knows
You're like a great big hit of acid,
Waiting to be taken!
The lyrics of this song are a scathing critique of society and the people in it. The song begins by calling out thieves, liars, murderers, hypocrites, and bastards, and expressing contempt for them. The lyrics then go on to talk about how there are two-faced people everywhere, and how trust is impossible because of this. The repetition of the phrase “which side are they?” emphasizes the ambiguity and unreliability of people’s allegiances and motivations. The chorus, which repeats the phrases “thieves” and “liar,” is an indictment of everyone who is corrupt and dishonest.
The song’s second verse continues the theme of hypocrisy, with lines about toxic injections and geriatric sex. The line “we still believe in lies” suggests that people are willingly deluding themselves about the state of the world. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that no one can be trusted and that everyone is a thief or a liar.
The final lines of the song compare the people being criticized to a gun and a hit of acid, respectively. These images suggest that people are dangerous and potentially destructive, and that their true intentions are hidden beneath a façade of normalcy.
Overall, this song is a powerful condemnation of society and the people in it. The lyrics suggest that there is widespread corruption and dishonesty, and that people cannot be trusted. The repetition and emphasis of certain phrases reinforce this message, and the vivid imagery creates a sense of unease and danger.
