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
In Kate Miller-Heidke's song "No Truck," the singer is frustrated with someone who always manages to ruin the mood and is seemingly quick to get angry. She asks for someone to explain what just happened and expresses her tiredness of trying to understand the complicated details. The chorus, "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," seems to suggest that the cause of the frustration is someone acting like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum.
The singer then asks for forgiveness for speaking out of turn but acknowledges that she is not as young as she used to be and has learned from past experiences. She refuses to play the game anymore and will have "no truck with it." The lyrics "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" indicate that the situation is not unique and can be solved through communication and therapy.
Overall, "No Truck" is a song about setting boundaries and recognizing when a situation is unhealthy. It encourages listeners to speak up for themselves and not let others negatively affect their mood and well-being.

Whoa, wait a minute, not so quick
Hold on, don't rush this conversation
You go from zero to ticked off and losing it
You get angry very quickly
Could somebody please tell me what just happened then
I don't understand why you're upset
Manage to always ruin the mood somehow
You always bring down the mood
Well I'm over combing through the details now
I'm tired of trying to figure out what went wrong
Far too complicated to bother with it
This situation is too complex to deal with
All you people gather round and listen up
Everyone pay attention
His Majesty the Baby has got something up
The baby is upset and needs attention
His bottle's empty and his nappy's come unstuck
The baby needs a new diaper and a refill of his bottle
All the kingdom must shut up
Everyone needs to be quiet so the baby can be taken care of
Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn
Sorry if I'm saying something inappropriate
But I'm not as young as I used to be
I'm getting older, and wiser
And you live and you learn
We make mistakes and gain experience from them
Forgive me if I'm pushing on my luck
I know I'm taking a risk with this situation
But I've been through this a million times
I've dealt with similar situations many times before
And now I'll have no truck with it
I won't tolerate it anymore
Yeah we all got luggage and we all got scars
We all have baggage and emotional wounds
But I know for a fact it shouldn't be this hard
This situation should not be this difficult
I've seen it on Dr Phil, I know all about it
I've seen similar situations on TV shows and know how to handle them
And no I'm not mad, I just don't wanna play
I'm not angry, I just don't want to deal with this situation
I know the script and I hate that game
I'm familiar with how this situation usually plays out, and I'm not interested
Think His Majesty the Baby is overtired
The baby is probably tired and needs sleep
But I've been through this a million times
I've dealt with similar situations many times before
And now I'll have no truck with it
I won't tolerate it anymore
No truck
I'm done dealing with this situation
