The lyrics to StepArt's song "Ting a Ling" address the issue of hypocrisy among people, particularly within the educational system. The song points out that there are individuals who pretend to be supportive and helpful, but in reality, they are not interested in helping others develop their skills or succeed. These hypocrites are referred to as "them" throughout the song, and the chorus repeats the phrase "Oh what a thing" to emphasize the negative impact that these individuals can have.
The first verse describes how these hypocrites will come with "great pretence" when the school bell rings, but their intentions are not genuine. They may take advantage of others or lead them astray, rather than helping them achieve their goals. The second verse speaks to the duplicity of these individuals, who may lie or talk behind others' backs while pretending to be their friends. They may also betray those who have invested in them or looked up to them, causing them hardship in the process.
Overall, "Ting a Ling" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of hypocrisy and the need to be vigilant in identifying those who may not have our best interests at heart. The song urges listeners to be careful and discerning in their relationships, particularly in the educational system where the pressure to succeed can be high.
