Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Must be from Hollywood move over honey
How can I help you mister are you lost
You wanna find out just how much this all costs
Yes I do of course you do
Good for you
Make enough make enough to not feel worry
Worry worry
Are you scared
Oh baby baby whatchu talking bout talking bout
Oh baby babe you only talk about money
Got your wolf cut pouty lips and nothing to do
Dressed like your daddy's favorite rocker back in seventy-two
Found your friends Jack and coke playing pool at the Pink
Wound up across the street at Billy Club spilling your drink
Boo
You suck
Make enough make enough to not feel worry
Worry worry
Make enough make enough baby I don't care
I don't care
Make enough make enough to not feel worthy
Worthy worthy
Make enough make enough to not feel scared
Are you scared
You're worth more than you know
Make enough make enough to not feel worry
Worried worry
Make enough make enough to not feel scared
Are you scared
Make enough make enough to not feel worry
Worried worry
Make enough make enough baby I don't care
I don't care
In "Worry" by The Sons, the lyrics explore the theme of materialism and its impact on one's sense of worth and happiness. The song begins by introducing the character of "Mr. Big Shot," who is portrayed as someone with a lot of money, potentially from the entertainment industry. The singer questions this person's motives and offers to help him navigate his lavish lifestyle, implying that it comes at a cost.
The chorus emphasizes the desire to make enough money to eliminate worry and fear. It suggests that financial security is seen as the ultimate goal, as it would allow one to live without the burden of these emotions. However, the repetition of the lines "Are you scared?" and "I don't care" hints at the hollowness of this pursuit. It suggests that the obsession with wealth and status leads to a lack of genuine concern for others and oneself, ultimately leaving one feeling unworthy and empty.
The second verse delves deeper into the character's persona, describing their appearance and behavior. The reference to the 70s rock scene and the mention of playing pool and drinking at certain establishments portray a superficial and hedonistic lifestyle. The singer's taunting remark "You suck" serves to challenge the notion that material success is a measure of worth or happiness.
Overall, "Worry" offers a critical commentary on the pursuit of wealth and materialism, suggesting that it can lead to a shallow existence and a loss of true self-worth.
