People
The Nutty Boys Lyrics

The Nutty Boys's song "People" is a commentary on the state of society and the struggles that come with it. The first verse talks about the journey that people have been on, suggesting that it has been a long and difficult one, filled with obstacles and challenges. The second line, "Many years spent hop skipping and a-jumping," is a metaphor for the ups and downs of life, and how people have had to keep moving forward despite the obstacles. The singer then reflects on their success, saying that they have "cracked the golden egg," but also acknowledging that they have made mistakes and "cooked our goose."

In the second verse, the tone changes, and the singer reflects on the challenges that still exist. There is a feeling of unrest in the air, indicating that something is about to change, but it is uncertain what. The singer acknowledges that many people will not be heard or recognized, and compares them to the unknown soldier who "didn't say a word." They also suggest that people are being mistreated and forced into a herd mentality, which makes life seem "absurd."

The chorus of the song is a call to action, encouraging people to keep moving forward despite the challenges they face. The repetition of the phrase "do carry on" is a reminder to persevere, even when things are difficult. The final line, "Oh oh," is a hopeful note, suggesting that there is still something worth working for.
