Let's Talk About
The Busters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take a seat watch the people right out there
Tellin' stories 'bout their fabulous lives
There's no need to fool with your partner
To find out what live's all about I'm glad we talk
About...

Sex with animals
Dads is beeing homosexual
Eyeball piercing
Pulling tractors with an earring

Boobsize surgery
Dicksize operation
Tell me 'bout your lifting
Oral fisting

If you don't know how
No one is around
Help yourself you will find out
On your tv show

Take a seat whatch the people right out there
Tellin' stories 'bout their fabulous lives

There's no need to fool with your partner
To find out what live's all about

I'm glad we talk about...

Masochism
All about sadism
Cannibalistic sacrifice
Penetrating applepies

If you don't know how
And no one is around
Help yourself you will find out
On your tv show

Take a seat whatch the people right out there
Tellin' stories 'bout their fabulous lives
There's no need to fool with your partner
To find out what live's all about





I'm glad we talk about...

Overall Meaning

The Busters's song Let's Talk About is a satirical take on the prevalence of shock value in popular media. The opening stanza describes people watching and discussing stories of their amazing lives. The singer observes that there is no need to fabricate stories or deceive one's partner to understand the extremities of life. Instead, he is glad that they can openly talk about taboo subjects on a talk show.


The rest of the song lyrically lists taboo or shocking subjects that are often brought up for attention in the media or in conversation. The subjects range from beastiality to masochism, sadism, and even cannibalistic sacrifice. The chorus remains consistent throughout the song, as the singer contrasts the absurdity of public shock value content against candid conversations of everyday people.


The song ultimately serves as a commentary on the nature of media and their willingness to sensationalize rather than discuss real and challenging subjects. It is also a reflection of the band's punk ethos, where they push back against societal norms around what is acceptable to discuss in public discourse.
