Down 2.89 points, (?)
What is it, a suicide epidimic?
(Jimmy Snow)
I believe with all of my heart that it is a contributing factor to our juvenile delinquency of today by a hundred percent believe. Why I believe that is because I know how it feels when you sing it. I know what it does to you. And I know of the evil feeling that you feel when you sing it. And I know the ... the ... lost position that you get into ... and the beat ... well ... uhmm ... if you talk to the average teenager of today and you ask them what it is about rock ′n roll music that they like, and the first thing that they'll say, is the beat, the beat, THE BEAT!
The lyrics "Down 2.68 points, Empire Gas, Down 2.89 points, (?) What is it, a suicide epidemic?" is a reference to the fluctuation of gas/oil prices in the stock market. The phrase "Down 2.68 points, Empire Gas" refers to a drop in the stock price of Empire Gas by 2.68 points. The next line "Down 2.89 points, (?)" indicates that there is another company that has experienced a drop in stock price but the name is unknown. The third line, "What is it, a suicide epidemic?" can be interpreted as a commentary on how the stock market affects people's mental health, and how the continuous fluctuation and loss can lead to depression, anxiety, and suicide, hence the reference to an epidemic.
The subsequent lines by Jimmy Snow delve into the controversy around rock music and the influence it has on youth. He asserts that rock music is a significant factor in juvenile delinquency because it can evoke an evil feeling that can make one lose their sense of self and become lost in the beat. According to Snow, teenagers like the beat more than anything else in rock music, and it holds significant sway over them, leading them to engage in delinquent behavior.
The song appears to be a commentary on the state of society and the darkness that lurks beneath the surface. It highlights how the economy, through the stock market, affects people's mental health and how music, specifically rock music, can have a negative influence on young people, leading them astray. The lyrics deliver a powerful message that underscores the need for people to become more aware of their mental health and for society to provide better support and guidance to young people.
