Everybody thinks we're wrong (mother, mother)
Who are they to judge us (judge us, mother)
Simply 'cause we wear our hair long, ooh (ooh)
Da-da-da-la, da-da-da-da-la-da
Da-da-da-la, da-da-da-da-la-da

The lyrics to E's song "Inner City Blues" speak to the struggles and injustices faced by marginalized communities in urban settings. The song starts by addressing the judgment and criticism faced by individuals for simply expressing their identity through their appearance, specifically mentioning long hair.
The following lines delve into the systemic issues faced by these communities. The lyrics touch upon the disparity between the rich and the poor, with the "haves" spending money on extravagant ventures like rockets and moon shots, while the "have-nots" struggle to make ends meet. This highlights the unequal distribution of wealth and resources in society.
The frustration and anger build as the song progresses. The repeated line "Make me want to holler" emphasizes the overwhelming emotions stirred by the injustices and hardships endured. The lyrics further illustrate the struggles of everyday life, such as inflation, financial strain, and the obligation to serve in wars, which can lead to a sense of hopelessness and disillusionment.
The lyrics also touch upon issues like hang-ups, letdowns, bad breaks, setbacks, and the inability to meet financial obligations like paying taxes. These further exemplify the range of challenges faced by individuals in the inner city, adding to the overall sense of frustration and discontent.
The final lines of the song allude to the increasing crime rates, trigger-happy policing, and an overall atmosphere of panic and uncertainty. The message conveyed is that the social and economic climate is deteriorating, and the future is unknown.
Overall, "Inner City Blues" serves as a powerful critique of the systemic issues faced by marginalized communities and the deep-rooted injustices that permeate society. It highlights the struggle for survival and the urge to speak out against these societal flaws.

Translation
Government men are always like carnivorous demons called Rฤkแนฃasas [man-eaters]. Sometimes these government men turn against the conditioned soul and take away all his accumulated wealth. Being bereft of his lifeโs reserved wealth, the conditioned soul loses all enthusiasm. Indeed, it is as though he loses his life.
Purport
The word rฤja-kula-rakแนฃasฤ is very significant. ลrฤซmad-Bhฤgavatam was compiled about five thousand years ago, yet government men are referred to as Rฤkแนฃasas, or carnivorous demons. If government men are opposed to a person, that person will be bereft of all his riches, which he has accumulated with great care over a long period of time. Actually no one wants to pay income taxes โ even government men themselves try to avoid these taxes โ but at unfavorable times income taxes are exacted forcibly, and the taxpayers become very morose.
