Truth
O.E.S. Lyrics

Tell the children the truth!
Urge to reveal the truth to the younger generation.

Tell the children the motherfuckin' truth! [Repeat x2]
Reiterate the importance of honesty with exclamation.

Your pussy band sounds just like shit
Insulting the quality of a musical group's performance.

You're not punk rock
Dismissing a group's association with punk rock culture.

You're more like a punk trick
Implying a lack of authenticity or sincerity in association with punk rock culture.

You corporate motherfuckers all suck a dick
Expressing contempt for those who prioritize profit over principles.

I'm an anti-motherfuckin' social independent
Identifying as someone who opposes narrow-minded social conventions and values independence.

Fuck the life
Expressing a strong feeling of dissatisfaction with life.

I don't want a thing
Rejecting materialistic desires.

You buy, you sell, you suck, you pig
Criticizing those with a consumerist mentality.

Fuck the world
Expressing a strong feeling of discontent with the state of the world.

You're a lost consumer
Asserting that those who prioritize consumption over individuality are aimless.

You sold your time, your soul to Cosmo
Implying that society prioritizes superficial beauty standards over individual character.

In love with a name tag
Dismissing the importance people place on material labels such as brand names.

How bout this toe tag
Suggesting that placing value on material possessions ultimately leads to mortality.

You got raped by the fags on TV
Critiquing media for promoting harmful stereotypes and biases.

And the TV got raped by the FCC
Implicating government regulations for censorship or control of media content.

I can't fuckin' stand you fuckin' pigs
Expressing extreme negativity towards individuals who prioritize consumption and conformity.

How do you bite the hand that feeds?
Questioning why anyone would act against their own provider or authority figure.

How can I walk away?
Reflecting on the difficulty of breaking from societal norms.

I'd rather pull the trigga
Imagining taking one's own life as a means of avoiding societal pressures and consumption.

And take away my own life
Consideration of self-harm in response to overwhelming societal pressures.

Before I hand it over to you
Disdain for societal expectations and pressure to adhere to them.

No! I can't live like that! [Repeat x2])
Expressing a strong feeling of rejection for societal norms.

No way! I can't live like that!
Reiteration of disdain for societal pressures and norms.

You are not what you own! [Repeat x4]
Emphasizing that one's worth does not come from material possessions.
