Authority
Biohazard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or go to work like a jerk and end up snoring
Tuesday's mail never fails
Collection agency wants me in jail
Wednesday's rules got me ignoring, deploring, all my tensions roaring
Thursday same shit different day
But these motherfucking rules will never ever go away
Friday night gonna be out of sight
If you're 21 they say drinking might be fun
On Saturday, Bible says seventh day
The day of rest so have it your way
Go for a ride, keep it under 55
Respect the badge, don't drink and drive
On Sunday gotta survive these fascist fools
Take your freedom back from the bullshit rules
Call me paranoid call me what you will
I got a fucking feeling something big is going down
Fuck the rules
Call me paranoid call me what you will
I got a fucking feeling something big is going down
Fuck the rules
The lyrics of Biohazard's song "Authority" represent the frustration and rebellion against societal norms and rules. The verses describe the monotony and hopelessness of everyday life, where the only escape seems to be the weekends or breaking the rules. The lyrics talk about how the government and authorities enforce strict rules and regulations, and how they are seen as a threat to individual freedom. The chorus is an anthem of rebellion, with the singer shouting "Fuck the rules" multiple times, highlighting the feeling of wanting to break free from the constraints of the system. The bridge warns of impending doom and chaos, potentially a result of people's frustration with the system.
Overall, this song is a critique of authoritarianism and a call for individual freedom. It highlights the monotony and futility of life under strict rule, and the desire for rebellion against societal norms.
