One Way Or The Other
Peace won′t come (Repeats)
By words alone
With the world in front of you, you've only got a certain space to go. I go to me factory, and go there, that′s supposed to be my bit of seeing the world. The whole world in front of ya, you're waiting, seeing things that haven't been discovered.
No pretty please, pretty pretty please (Repeats)
One way or the other
Humdrum has a stammer
Saying ′w-w-w-whatever'
One way or the other
No pretty please, pretty pretty please (Repeats)
Peace won′t come by words alone
Peace won't come by words alone
I′m so low on order
But high on what I want
And I've got your number
And I′m coming over
One way or the other
No pretty please, pretty pretty please (Repeats)
One way or the other (Repeats)
Peace won't come by words alone
Peace won't come by words alone
The lyrics of One Way's song "Pop It" revolves around the theme of peace. The opening lines "Peace won't come" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer talks about the limitations in life, stating that even with the whole world in front of you, there is only a certain space to go. This suggests that despite the vastness of the world, we are still confined by societal norms and expectations. The singer then mentions their workplace as an example of their supposed limited world. They long for something more, something undiscovered, indicating a desire for change.
The chorus repeats the line "One way or the other, something's got to change" emphasizing the need for growth and transformation. There is a sense of urgency in the song's tone, as the singer uses words like "No pretty please, pretty pretty please" to represent their assertiveness in making change happen. The third verse talks about the singer's willingness to take action, stating, "I've got your number, and I'm coming over." The last two lines of the song, "Peace won't come by words alone" repeat the song's central theme. The singer acknowledges that words alone are not enough to bring about change or peace.
Overall, the song "Pop It" is a call to action, encouraging individuals to take charge of their lives and be agents of change. It suggests that while words are important, they alone will not bring peace. Instead, action and a willingness to challenge societal norms are necessary for change to occur.
