People Of The Earth
Coxon Graham Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ain't even on the universe map
People of the earth you do not rock
You are nothing but a fluffy frock
People of the earth you have failed
You still worship The Sun and The Daily Mail
People of the earth are you hearing me
There's nothing on the telly and the radio's shite
So I'm gonna blow you off with my meteorite
People of the earth you are not cool
You eat hamburgers and go to school
People of the earth you are bland
You ain't even got a decent band
People of the earth you have no clue
You still wear cocoons and tennis shoes
People of the earth are you hearing me
I'm dropping you a line from the cosmic city
There's nothing on the telly and the radio's shite
So I'm gonna blow you off with my meteorite
People of the earth
, the lyrics of Coxon Graham's song "People of the Earth" convey a clear sense of disdain and frustration with humanity. The song starts off by calling out the collective failure of humans as a species, stating that they are not even on the universe's map. The lyrics suggest that humans have not progressed enough to be considered significant on a cosmic scale.
Graham goes on to critique various aspects of human society, such as their taste in music, their diet, and what they read. The lyrics use the repetition of the phrase "People of the Earth" to further emphasize the collective nature of these criticisms. Graham is calling on humanity as a whole to improve and move beyond their current state.
However, the use of the word "fluffy frock" seems to undermine the author's message somewhat. The reference is unclear and somewhat random, making the song seem less serious despite the pointed criticisms.
In summary, the lyrics of "People of the Earth" are critical of humanity's current state, calling on them to improve and progress beyond their current standing. However, the song's tone is somewhat undercut by the random and nonsensical "fluffy frock" line.
