Fat Sack
The Pietasters Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look at them, way out there, is it hard to think and fall in here
Check you back, how it is, shut your mouth you stupid kids
It's hard to tell how much you're seen
But you missed the point again
Thanks a lot you've had your say
Time to move to another day

Another day another time
Spend your weekend home there wasting time
Certain win no simple thing for you

Floodings stick and waters too
But the families whatchin' over you
With a man in love, tell that shit
Well step right up and take some licks
Burbon jungle's what you get
Sorry my brother broke your chin
Steady yourself you're out of time
Drinks gonna come and you're gonna find

Another day another time
Spend your weekend home there wasting time
Certain win no simple thing for you

In my head you do not see
10 brass knuckles gonn bash your teeth
See my sack, oh so fat
Me and mother fuckers gonna get my back

Another day another time
Spend your weekend home there wasting time
Certain win no simple thing for you

Another day another time




Spend your weekend home there wasting time
Certain win no simple thing for you

Overall Meaning

The Pietasters's song Fat Sack is a socially-critical song that talks about the wide gap between the mainstream society and the marginalized groups, including the young kids, who are ridiculed and misunderstood by the former. The song's lyrics depict how the mainstream society secludes themselves from the 'misfits' and formulates their opinions without giving a second thought to the 'outsiders'.


The song starts with "Look at them, way out there, is it hard to think and fall in here," which suggests that the people outside of the mainstream society have a different perspective of things and it's difficult for the people who think inside the box to understand their point of view. The following line, "Check your back, how it is, shut your mouth, you stupid kids," clearly shows the insensitivity and disdain the mainstream society holds towards the people who are different from them. The song also criticizes society's obsession with materialistic possessions and their inclination towards wasting their time doing frivolous activities.


The chorus "Another day another time, spend your weekend home there wasting time, certain win no simple thing for you" emphasizes the idea of wasting time and how society rarely thinks about the misfits in the community. The line, "In my head, you do not see, 10 brass knuckles gonna bash your teeth" portrays the anger and the frustration faced by the marginalized group, who is not getting justice and won't be heard by them. Finally, the song's title, "Fat Sack," is a metaphor referring to the support system the marginalized groups need, which the mainstream society is reluctant to provide.
