Addiction
Jets Overhead Lyrics

Looking out onto a city of bad people
Observing a city populated by individuals who exhibit poor character and morality

Climbing the walls to escape all the good evil
Struggling to avoid the temptation of engaging in acts of immoral behavior despite the presence of positive role models

Blinding the student like horse independence
Providing students with excessive freedom and independence that may distract them from important aspects of their education

But I'm not one, you're not one
Acknowledging that neither the artist nor the listener are among the bad people in this city

One of those bad people Addiction
Emphasizing that addiction is a negative trait that bad people often exhibit, suggesting that the artist wishes to avoid such behavior.

So much for teacher
Expressing disappointment in teachers who may not be doing enough to prevent students from engaging in immoral behavior

The kids are all playing
Noting that some children may be more interested in engaging in potentially dangerous or immoral activities, rather than studying.

But not my son Not your son They're not those bad people
Assuring the listener that their own children or the artist's children will not engage in such behavior, nor will they be associated with the bad people in the city.

Change it tomorrow
Encouraging the listener to take action to change the negative aspects of their city or society as soon as possible.
