Spineless Majority
The Faction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're all alone and by yourself

Pretty much nothing to do

The others are so many it's fuckin' scary

The things that they could to you
Spineless Majority

They feed on mtv, shaping paths of thought

About the third world war and things they should have bought

Smart ass people they're all the same

You're slightly different so today is the day

Perfect mamma's boys in their perfect daddy's cars

Twenty bucks a ticket to see rock stars

You're a minority 'cause you use your head

The spineless majority wants you dead

They'll kick your teeth in for praise and glory

but when it's one on one it's a whole different story

The spineless majority's for a spineless world





Spineless majority, join for the thrill.

Overall Meaning

The Faction's song "Spineless Majority" is an aggressive and passionate rebellion against the mainstream culture that values conformity over individual thought. The lyrics describe the isolation and vulnerability that can come with being different in a society that punishes non-conformity. The lines "You're all alone and by yourself, pretty much nothing to do" and "You're a minority 'cause you use your head" both address the feeling of being alienated from the larger group because of one's own values and beliefs.


The song also attacks the idea that popular media, such as MTV, creates a "spineless majority" of people who mindlessly consume and conform to the ideas presented to them. The lyrics suggest that this majority is not only spineless but also dangerous, as they will turn on those who stand out or challenge their beliefs. This is echoed in the lines "The spineless majority wants you dead" and "They'll kick your teeth in for praise and glory".


Overall, "Spineless Majority" is a passionate and unapologetic call to arms for those who refuse to conform to popular culture and the dangerous status quo it creates. It is a rallying cry for individuality and non-conformity, ultimately rejecting the idea that popularity and conformity are more valuable than authenticity and personal beliefs.
