Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lotta' paranoia everywhere take a look out yer door
If it ain'why the tube it's the paper news third world war
Or church they feed us all this phony propaganda they pawn
It off as food for thought the swap meet world of oil and coal
No water no jobs cost of dyin' keeps goin' up like everything else
Forefathers didn't foresee that there would be always less
For kids they left us an is ball of clay to play with yeah,
We've all been judged wasting our time in court beat down
By the gravel several times before sitting in my cell
While the world is spinning by those ain't




The bars that I like to hang out in u.s. Bombs the world that's
What the TV said u.s. bombs the world that's what the papers say yesterday & today

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of U.S. Bombs's "The World" address the widespread sense of paranoia that exists in society. Every time we look out the door or turn on the news, there seems to be a new threat or crisis. The third world war, scarcity of water and jobs, rising cost of living, and endlessly decreasing resources are all issues that the song touches upon.


The next verse talks about how our leaders and institutions feed us propaganda masked as "food for thought". They make us believe in their narrow-minded views and ideologies while hiding the truth from us. The "swap meet world of oil and coal" symbolizes how everything is up for trade or sale, including resources that should be accessible to all. The chorus reiterates the message of the song: that U.S. bombs are destroying the world, and this is what the media tells us every day.


The lines "we've all been judged wasting our time in court" suggest that those in power use the legal system to suppress individuals who speak out against them. However, the singer refuses to be silenced and continues to see the world as it is, despite the oppression they face. The juxtaposition between being locked up in a cell while the world keeps moving is symbolic of how individuals are trapped while the powerful continue to manipulate and wreak havoc in society.
