We Shall Cleanse the World
Revolting Cocks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do it, do it, do it!
It started so quick
We had no time to think about it
Think about it

Cross the city very fast
Cross the city very fast
Very fast, I said very fast
We got a mission

Do, do, do it
Do it, do it
Do it, do it

Cross the city very fast
No time to lose, no time to lose
Cross the city very fast
You're the only driver who can do it

Just do, do it
They shall cleanse the world so
What do you think about it?

First one, she sang
'You gotta do us [unverified]'
Eyes behind the windows
In every building, every room
They're waiting for you

On a mission and this
Could be your last mission
This could it be your
Last mission in this world?

Don't let them take her off your eyes
Cross the city very fast




Very, very fast
Don't let them [unverified] alive!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Revolting Cocks's song "We Shall Cleanse the World" describe a mission that must be accomplished quickly and efficiently. The urgency of the situation is emphasized by the repetition of the words "do it" and the phrase "cross the city very fast". The singer seems to be urging someone, possibly a driver, to complete this mission without hesitation. The mission is described as the cleansing of the world, which suggests a violent or radical act of some sort. The lyrics mention eyes behind windows in every building and room, indicating that there are people watching and potentially trying to stop this mission. The final lines of the song suggest that the success of the mission is crucial, and that failure could result in death.


The meaning of the lyrics is open to interpretation, as they are somewhat vague and abstract. It's possible that the song is a commentary on the urgency of political or social change, and the necessity of taking drastic action in order to achieve it. Alternatively, it could be a reflection of the singer's own desire for power or control, and their willingness to use violence to achieve it. Whatever the message may be, the lyrics are effective in creating a sense of urgency and building tension throughout the song.
