Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go ahead and smell it
I'm sure it won't stink
Go ahead and say it
I'm sure it won't stick
Go ahead and find it I
'm sure you'll lose it again
Go ahead and live it up
I'm sure you'll burn in the end

Give it up for
The model citizens
Give it up for
The model citizens

Go ahead and buy it
I'm sure it'll last through the storm
Go ahead and fall in love
I'm sure it'll keep you warm

Give it up for
The model citizens





Give it up for
The model citizens

In the song "The Model" by JG And The Robots, the lyrics reflect on the idea of conformity and the pursuit of a perfect ideal. The song starts by urging someone to go ahead and embrace this perfect image, whether it be through material possessions or societal expectations. The lines "Go ahead and smell it, I'm sure it won't stink" and "Go ahead and say it, I'm sure it won't stick" suggest that this model citizen is flawless, immune to any negative consequences.


However, the lyrics also hint at the emptiness and inevitable downfall of this pursuit. The line "Go ahead and find it, I'm sure you'll lose it again" suggests that even if one manages to attain this perfection, it will eventually slip away. The following line, "Go ahead and live it up, I'm sure you'll burn in the end," implies that this strive for an idealistic lifestyle will ultimately lead to self-destruction.


The chorus emphasizes the idea of praising and giving recognition to these so-called model citizens. It can be seen as a sarcastic or ironic call to celebrate those who conform to societal norms, hinting at the superficiality of such admiration.
