1. Liberator fi… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists with the name "Liberator"
1. Liberator first got together 1993 in Malmo, Sweden. Starting out, they earned a local reputation as a highly energetic live act, with music firmly rooted in the 2-tone tradition, spiced up with some classic, old school ska.
At this time it was mostly covers on the menu (e.g. Madness, Specials, The Beat), but soon original songs were made as well.
The band hooked up with manager Tobbe Lorentz, and together they were able to land a recording deal with punk/hardcore label Burning Heart Records.
During the years that followed Liberator made several tours in most European countries and became known as one of the beacons in "The Third Wave" of ska.

Lazy Bones
Liberator Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to take it easy - these things are not for me
People I thought I knew are passing me at lightning speed
Their faces are coloured from the strain of what they have to do chorus: Call me lazy bones, tell me I'm no good
I don't mind at all, I'm doing fine I'm in no respect organized - I don't want to be
I refuse to be projectized - these things are not for me
I want to be free to do the things I want to when I want to
How could I know what I will want to do next weekhow could I, how could I (chorus)
The lyrics of the "Lazy Bones" song by Liberator portray the desire of the singer to live life on their own terms, free from the pressure of societal expectations. The first verse begins with the question of the singer claiming that they don't want to do the things that everyone else is doing, they want to take it easy. However, they feel that everyone they know is caught up in the race, moving at lightning speed, and chasing after things that are not necessary. The chorus, which repeats twice in the song, seems to be the response of those around the singer as they are called lazy bones and told that they are no good. Nevertheless, the singer finds happiness in living life the way they want, rather than the way the world thinks they should.
The second verse emphasizes the singer's aversion to being organized and projectized. They refuse to conform to the structures that have been designed to ensure societal efficiency. They want to be free, and they want to do what they want to do when they want to do it. The song closes with the singer asking how they can know what they will want to do next week. They are content with their current situation and will take things as they come.
