Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Maximum the Hormone's song "Policeman Benz" criticizes the authority and power structures of society. The first verse discusses the strict norms that society imposes on people, and how those who fail to meet these norms are branded as weak and fearful. It then goes on to mock those who hold power, suggesting that their authority is simply a way to manipulate and control the masses.

The chorus makes a strong statement against the idea that those in power are above the people. It suggests that if those in authority cannot be held accountable to the people, then the people themselves must rise up and speak out. The second verse continues this theme, using more satirical and sarcastic language to deride the idea that some people are born to rule, while others are meant to be ruled over.

Overall, the lyrics of "Policeman Benz" convey a sense of frustration and anger towards the unequal power structures of society. The song encourages listeners to challenge the status quo and fight back against oppressive systems.
