Fair Warning
The Movement Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why do they try to put their reasoning aside
I look, they're teetering on pride- they get the heater and they hide
They sneak a little piece of life then hole up, obey, and abide
When all the Universe, it tries to get you reeling- get you right

Some people- they act like they don't know
Ignorant man backlines the whole show
Always looking for snack time, you won't grow
Never loosen the slack, I grab hold

This life and this music is just a part of me
We don't try to refuse it- it is not hard to see
Never gonna abuse it- I got a fair warning
So now I live my life to spread love

This life and this music is just a part of me
We don't try to refuse it- it is not hard to see
Never gonna abuse it- I got a fair warning
So now I live my life to spread love

I see the sun as always burning, always one
It never lets me down- it teaches me where to reach and where to run
So when life gets you down and people start to preach- the weight's a ton
Well girl now you know just where you can come for fun

We see the light as it is piercing through this dark and evil cloud
We hear the screaming of the system so we keep the music loud
We look for truth and beauty rising from the crowd
Father you must be proud
Mother you held it down

This life and this music is just a part of me
We don't try to refuse it- it is not hard to see
Never gonna abuse it- I got a fair warning
So now I live my life to spread love

This life and this music is just a part of me
We don't try to refuse it- it is not hard to see
Never gonna abuse it- I got a fair warning
So now I live my life to spread love

Why do they try to put their reasoning aside
I look, they're teetering on pride- they get the heater and they hide
They sneak a little piece of life then hole up, obey, and abide
When all the Universe, it tries to get you reeling- get you right

Some people- they act like they don't know
Ignorant man backlines the whole show
Always looking for snack time, you won't grow
Never loosen the slack, I grab hold

This life and this music is just a part of me
We don't try to refuse it- it is not hard to see




Never gonna abuse it- I got a fair warning
So now I live my life to spread love

Overall Meaning

The Movement's song Fair Warning is a powerful commentary on the human tendency to ignore reason and instead rely on pride and self-interest. The opening lines ask, "Why do they try to put their reasoning aside?" and suggest that people often ignore logic in favor of protecting their own egos. The following lines paint a picture of people holding onto a small piece of life while cowering in fear, unwilling to take real action or change.


The chorus, "This life and this music is just a part of me, we don't try to refuse it - it is not hard to see, never gonna abuse it - I got a fair warning, so now I live my life to spread love," emphasizes the idea that we should embrace the good in life and use it to create positive change in the world. The song is a call to reject fear and embrace love.


The second verse continues this theme, describing the power of the sun and the importance of holding onto hope in the face of negativity. The final lines pay tribute to the singer's parents and their roles in shaping his worldview.


Overall, Fair Warning is a thought-provoking and inspiring song that urges listeners to reject negativity and spread love instead.
