Laplante Song
Propagandhi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Propagandhi's "Laplante Song" are full of aggression and insults towards others, particularly those who may be considered part of the punk rock scene. The first line, "hey hannah, how's it going? can i borrow some records you punk rock piece of shit?" is directed towards someone named Hannah, who the singer insults by calling her a "punk rock piece of shit." The second line, "hey jord, join the chicken-fight, is that a sub you've got in your face you piece of shit fat mother-fucker?" is directed towards someone named Jord, who the singer insults for being overweight and having a sub in his face.
The song seems to be about the frustration and anger that can build up towards people who are deemed as part of a certain subculture or community, particularly those who may be seen as overly zealous or exclusive. The insults thrown around in the lyrics hint at a deeper dissatisfaction, perhaps with the punk rock scene as a whole, or with people's tendency to gravitate towards certain labels or identities. The song may call into question the very nature of community, and the ways in which people form connections with one another.

Hey Hannah, how are you doing? Can I borrow some of your punk rock record collection, you worthless piece of garbage?

Hey Jord, want to participate in a physical altercation? By the way, is that sandwich you're eating contributing to your obesity, you useless excuse for a human being?
