Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That they would cut my hair for free
But that's not me, no liberties
And they're into all the coolest bands
And knowing that they're going to the gigs as fans
Entitles me to some decency
They're the cleverest blonde weekend
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
I wish everybody danced like me
Split visions of a talkative therapy
It makes me bend away, it gives me E
Seems hard to say, it?s insanity
The same record for the 16th time
Exact same set you did the last time ?round
Doesn't bother me, we're in harmony
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
They're the cleverest blonde weekend
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
I wish everybody danced like them
Everybody danced like them
No low emotions rolling tonight
Young heavy hopefuls staying the night
So stick around and wait for the day
Craziness kills laziness and happiness takes bad bets
No one gives a fuck, you see we're all out of our little heads
Craziness kills laziness and happiness takes bad bets
No one gives a fuck, you see we're all out of our
All out of our, all out of our little fucking heads
Doo doo doo
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
They're the cleverest blonde weekend
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
I wish everybody danced like them
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
They're the cleverest blonde weekend
Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day
I wish everybody danced like them
Can anybody dance like them, can you tell me?
(Asted-way ittle-lay eejays-day)
Does anybody dance like them, can you tell me?

The View’s song Wasted Little DJs is a lament about conformity and the loss of individuality in the music industry. The singer is a songwriter who has sacrificed his creativity for the promise of a haircut. He observes that the taste of the “cool kids” dictates the music industry, and anyone who does not comply with it has lost their “liberties". The chorus is mocking towards the DJs who play it safe and stick to the pop formula rather than paving the way for new and unique sounds.

Got to say ... I was working on the evening shift in some dead-end going-nowhere mind-numbing place of work for a brief period... morale sapping stuff... the radio occasionally playing a reasonable song. Then, this comes on. Turn up the volume. WOW. THERE IS LIFE ON EARTH. Superb. Never forget it.
