Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No crying just go hurt
We fire our guns through your signs
Can't stop us with your rights
No fighting just go hurt them
We know you don't want trouble
So get those hands up high
Hey You
Keep your eyes on yourself
Hey You
You know there's nobody else
Hey You
No need to give peace a chance
We've got
The whole world in our hands
We are your moms & fathers
We teach your sons and daughters
No comments no questions
We'll tell you what your best is
We've got your new world order
You know you don't want trouble
So get your hands up high
Hey You
Keep your eyes on yourself
Hey You
You know there's nobody else
Hey You
No need to give peace a chance
We've got
The whole world in our hands
The lyrics to TJ Stafford's song Hey You appear to be a commentary on the state of modern society and the power dynamics at play. The repetition of "No fighting just go hurt them" creates a sense of aggression and ruthlessness, suggesting that the singer is advocating for a violent approach to dealing with those who oppose them. This is reinforced by the line "We fire our guns through your signs", implying violent confrontation with those who hold different beliefs.
The chorus of the song, with its repeated refrain of "Hey You", can be interpreted as a call to action for the listener. The singer is urging them to focus on themselves and not be distracted by the world around them. The line "We've got the whole world in our hands" further reinforces this idea of control and domination.
The verses of the song suggest that those in positions of authority, such as parents and teachers, are the ones shaping the worldview of younger generations. The line "We'll tell you what your best is" implies a restrictive and authoritarian approach to education and personal development. The repeated call for listeners to "get your hands up high" adds to the sense of control and domination present throughout the song.
Overall, Hey You appears to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked power and aggression. The lyrics suggest that those who seek control and domination will stop at nothing to achieve their goals, regardless of the cost to others.
