Believer
Laws feat. Jason Caesar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're looking at kids saying its all junk
Looking at me just another punk
But we're not gonna take it from you no more
You say its all stupid, wasting our time
Never saw the reason never heard the rhyme
Well we're not gonna take it from you no more
And you could not believe
All the things we told you
You went out and fell for all the lies they sold you
65 punks on the street tonight
Moods pretty heavy - there's gonna be a fight
Cause they're not gonna take it - no not no more
Policeman come and chase us away
But we'll be back with more to say!
Cause we're not gonna take it from them anymore
No cause we're not gonna take it from them no more
And you could not believe
All the things we told you
We could not believe how fast they sold you
Waking up feeling like shit
I don't mind no not one bit
Coz I'm not gonna take it from you anymore
And you would not believe
All the things we told you
You went out and fell for all the lies they sold you
True believers stand true today
They don't give a damn what people say




Cause they're no gonna take it
No not no more

The second verse describes a group of punks who are met with disapproval and resistance from the authorities, but refuse to be silenced. The line “65 punks on the street tonight, moods pretty heavy - there’s gonna be a fight” reflects the sense of defiance and rebellion that characterizes the punk movement. The final verse is more introspective, with the singer acknowledging that while they may wake up feeling “like shit”, they are still committed to their beliefs and won’t be swayed by the lies and manipulation of others.
