No Truck
Kate Miller‐Heidke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You go from zero to ticked off and losing it
Could somebody please tell me what just happened then
Manage to always ruin the mood somehow
Well I'm over combing through the details now
Far too complicated to bother with it
His Majesty the Baby has got something up
His bottle's empty and his nappy's come unstuck
All the kingdom must shut up
Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn
But I'm not as young as I used to be
And you live and you learn
Forgive me if I'm pushing on my luck
But I've been through this a million times
And now I'll have no truck with it
No truck
Yeah we all got luggage and we all got scars
But I know for a fact it shouldn't be this hard
I've seen it on Dr Phil, I know all about it
And no I'm not mad, I just don't wanna play
I know the script and I hate that game
Think His Majesty the Baby is overtired
All you people gather round and listen up
His Majesty the Baby has got something up
His bottle's empty and his nappy's come unstuck
All the kingdom must shut up
Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn
But I'm not as young as I used to be
And you live and you learn
Forgive me if I'm pushing on my luck
But I've been through this a million times
And now I'll have no truck with it
No truck
The song "No Truck" by Kate Miller-Heidke is an expression of frustration towards a person who always manages to ruin the mood with their uncontrollable outbursts. The first verse of the song starts off with the singer trying to understand what might have triggered the other person's sudden loss of temper. She expresses her disdain towards the complicated process of trying to sort out what could have caused the person to be upset. The chorus talks about a baby, and how the whole kingdom must shut up because the baby is upset. This could be interpreted in two ways: either the person who is losing it is compared to a baby, or there is a literal baby involved that has upset the people around them.
The second verse emphasizes the fact that everyone has baggage and scars, but it shouldn't be this hard to deal with someone who always manages to ruin the mood. The singer talks about how she knows about this behavior from watching Dr. Phil, indicating that the issue is common enough to be broadcasted on television. The final chorus repeats the same lines as the previous one, and the singer emphasizes that she doesn't want to deal with this kind of behavior anymore. The phrase "no truck" is a slang term that means "no tolerance" or "no respect" for something.
Overall, "No Truck" is a relatable song about dealing with people who always manage to ruin the mood. The lyrics express a sense of exhaustion and frustration, and the chorus with the baby metaphor highlights how the situation can feel like dealing with an impossible task.
