Stop!
Jane’s Addiction Lyrics

The lyrics to "Stop!" by Jane's Addiction are a call to action to stop complaining and instead actively engage in changing the world. The opening lines, "Save the complaints for a party conversation," suggest that complaining without action is futile. The world is filled with problems, but instead of being overwhelmed by them, the song urges listeners to take action. The phrase "lit to pop" refers to the idea that the world is on the verge of exploding. The repetition of "No one... No one! No way! Gonna stop, now; go!" serves as a rallying cry for listeners to take action.

The second verse describes different types of people, including "farm people, book wavers, soul savers, and love preachers." This diverse group of people is united in their desire for change, and the line "lit to pop and nobody is gonna stop" reinforces their determination. The bridge of the song paints a picture of a future where the water runs out and people have to face the consequences of their actions. The use of the word "hurrah" suggests a sense of relief that the water is finally running, as if it's a good thing that people are being forced to confront the reality of their actions.

The final verse is a call to action to stop polluting and consuming without thought. The line "Gimmie that - your automobile, turn off that smokestack and that goddamn radio" suggests that people need to stop prioritizing convenience over the environment. The final repetition of "No one's gonna stop!" serves as a reminder that change is possible if people take action and work together.
