In My Shoes
M.O.D. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quata calls, aren't civil rights
Split the vote, split the state
Split the house, income rape
Doors are shut, need not apply
There's no one here to fight for my rights
Walk the straight line
I live the injusted
Of liberal insight
Motor vote, I say motorhead
I work a job, I don't lay in bed
Payed my dues, pay my way
I earned the right too have my say
I'm sick to death, of liberal views
The liberal fools are fucking you to
You'll know what I'm saying
When you walk in my shoes
In "In My Shoes," M.O.D. highlights the challenges of being a working-class person in a society that often overlooks their needs and rights in favor of those in power. The lyrics reflect a sense of frustration with the political system that favors the wealthy and powerful, leaving many struggling to get by. The line "Equal rights, don't apply; quota calls, aren't civil rights" speaks to the systemic issues that continue to plague society, despite calls for equal treatment and opportunity. It highlights how policies like quotas may seem like progress but still fall short of achieving true equality.
The verses "Split the vote, split the state; split the house, income rape" suggests a frustration with a political system that often divides people to maintain power. The phrase "income rape" is particularly striking, as it describes the feeling of being taken advantage of by those with more power and wealth. The line "Doors are shut, need not apply; there's no one here to fight for my rights" highlights the feeling of being powerless and excluded from a system that seems to favor those with privilege.
Overall, "In My Shoes" is a powerful critique of a society that perpetuates inequality and leaves many feeling disenfranchised. The lyrics speak to the frustrations of a working-class person who feels left behind by a political system that's designed to serve the interests of the wealthy.

Yea man, this album is simple but thats what makes it so great. The riffs are catchy, the subject matter is funny and Billy’s singing with the talking thrown in at the right moments is perfection…Anyway, the late 80s was great for albums..reign in blood, peace sells, masters of puppets, Apetiete for destruction among the living, so far so good, south of heaven…..and the coming of Alice and nirvana. Great time for my
