Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is my term, and I've jammed out my perm, but it's all right
I solemnly swear to uphold the Constitution
Got a rock and roll problem?
Well we got the solution
Set and see who I am
Let me kick out the jams, yeah
I done kicked em out
I've been selected to orbit the planet in a rocket
I'm going to mars, I got a message for the poodle in your pocket
Mission Control, calling supernova
The (nightlife's) rockin', you can come on over
And let us see who we am,
Let me kick out the jams, yeah
Kick out the jams
I done kicked em out
The song “Kick Out the Jams” by The Presidents of the United States of America is a high-energy rock anthem that is all about rebellion and standing up against the establishment. The lyrics are filled with attitude and bravado, as the singer declares that he has been elected to rock everyone’s asses until midnight. This opening line immediately sets the tone for the song and establishes the singer as someone who is confident, rebellious, and unapologetic.
The chorus of the song, which is repeated throughout, urges everyone to “kick out the jams”. This phrase is a call to action, urging everyone to let loose and have a good time. The idea behind the phrase is that there are no rules when it comes to rock and roll, and that everyone should feel free to express themselves however they want. This sentiment is echoed in the line “Got a rock and roll problem? Well we got the solution”, which suggests that the solution to any problem is simply to turn up the volume and let the music take over.
The second half of the song takes on a more sci-fi theme, with the singer declaring that he has been selected to orbit the planet in a rocket and has a message for the poodle in your pocket. The chorus remains the same, urging everyone to kick out the jams and let the good times roll. The overall feeling of the song is one of pure joy and energy, with the lyrics encouraging everyone to let go of their inhibitions and just have fun.
