Who Are They?
Buck-O-Nine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They say that alcohol spins me 'round
They say that I've got some questionable behavior
And I suspect, it's all written down
Who are they?
Where do they get their information?
Who are they?
Who are they?
Hey, why do they think they know?
They say I should stop acting like a kid
They say, hey what's behind them shades?
They say I'm always sittin' writin' in a little book
And they've noticed my car it don't have plates
Who are they?
Where do they get their information?
Who are they?
Where do they get their know?
Who are they?
Hey, why do they think they know?
Hey, who the hell are you?
What you want from me
And what do you know about me?
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
[Incomprehensible]
?Coz I say who the hell are they?
They've showed up at my favorite place for lunch
They know I like to go to be alone
Are they a network of experts that don't even need a name?
And I still don't know who the hell they think they are?
Who are they?
Where do they get their information?
Who are they?
Where do they get their know?
Who are they?
Hey, why do they think they know?
In Buck-O-Nine's song "Who Are They?" the singer is questioning the credibility of those who are constantly judging him. The lyrics suggest that a shadowy group of individuals are compiling information on him, judging his behavior, and spreading rumors about him. The singer is rightfully skeptical of these remarks, wondering where these people get their information, and why they feel entitled to criticize his behavior.
The song explores the theme of judgment and how people are often too quick to judge others without knowing the full story. Instead of blindly accepting the opinions of others, the singer calls into question the legitimacy of their sources and knowledge. The song encourages the listener to think for themselves and not be swayed by the opinions of others without first investigating their sources.
Overall, "Who Are They?" is an anthem for individuality and standing up against judgment from others. It is a call to question authority and not blindly follow the opinions of others without first doing your research.
