Street Soldier Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right from the get go I never liked you
You're a scumbag, yeh you and your cronies better look back
Cos you'll be going head fist in a bin bag
It's just like that, you're damn right lad
Did you really think that I wouldn't fight back
Gimme 5 on 1 and I'll have that
I'm 0-1-9-0-4 Don't forget that
Getting sent back to the sewer for a big bath
Skinny man, any physical contact
Then there'll be a blood bath and you won't like that
I can see you from a mile away
You're the same fake snake that I see everyday
Chat shit behind another man's back
But you never pipe up when it's face to face
Me? I'm proud to be part of the pissed off youth
Only see lies never see truth
Only see lies never see, never see
NEVER SEE TRUTH
Send him back to the sewer for a big bath
Send him back to the sewer for a big bath
Send him back to the sewer for a big bath
Dirty little rat, RAT
Yeh you and your cronies better look back
Cos you'll be going head first in a bin bag
It's just like that
Any physical contact then there'll be blood bath
And you won't like that
SCUMBAG
The lyrics of Street Soldier's song "Scumbag" are a powerful expression of anger, frustration and pride of the "pissed off youth" who refuse to be intimidated by bullies or fake people. The singer of the song, represented as "0-1-9-0-4", sees through the facade of the scumbag and his cronies who talk behind people's backs and think they can get away with it. The scumbag is not a new phenomenon, but a recurring type of person that the singer has encountered many times and despises for their lack of integrity, courage and respect.
The tone of the song is confrontational and threatening, as the singer challenges the scumbag to a fight and promises to send him back to the sewer for a big bath. The use of violent imagery, such as head fist in a bin bag and blood bath, reinforces the message of the song that violence is sometimes necessary to defend oneself and stand up to bullies. The chorus is a repetition of the phrase "send him back to the sewer for a big bath", which serves as a catchy and memorable hook that highlights the disgust and contempt that the singer feels towards the scumbag.
Overall, the song can be interpreted as a call to action for young people who are tired of being mistreated, ignored or manipulated by others. The scumbag represents the oppressor, the liar, the coward, the fake person that hides behind a mask of toughness or popularity. The singer, on the other hand, represents the rebel, the truth-teller, the fighter, the survivor who refuses to give up or back down. By using bold, aggressive and catchy lyrics, Street Soldier's "Scumbag" captures the energy and urgency of a generation that demands respect, justice and freedom.
