Unleashed Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Born in the 40's to a life of luxury
You sucked all the right cocks well
To get a really nice job your dad can tell
You call home and say you're working late
But there's another thing now that just can't wait...
What a leader the CEO!
He pays a girl to get him through
Puts on his diaper and feed him gruel
A big house, the suburban dream you have
A boring ass wife and a daughter crack queen
You drink drive the brand new car
Na djust bribe another cop when you get caught
You whine out loud 'bout the income tax
Because the monthly 5000 Euros never last
What a leader the CEO!
His big secret just doesn't show
He pays a girl to get him through
Puts on his diaper and feed him gruel
The lyrics to Unleashed's song "Ceo" are a scathing criticism of corporate greed and the corporate leaders who perpetrate it. The song opens with a scathing condemnation of individuals who come from well-to-do backgrounds but have poor hygiene, something that is not expected of someone with their wealth. This is contrasted with the life of luxury afforded to these individuals, something they have not earned but rather have been born into. Despite their privileged background, they have still had to perform sexual favors to get ahead in their career, highlighting the corrupt nature of the corporate world.
The song then goes on to describe the life of a CEO, who outwardly is seen as a great leader, but behind closed doors lives a completely different life. He pays a woman to take care of him like a baby, putting on diapers and being fed gruel. This is a clear metaphor for the infantilization of the CEO and the exploitation of those who work under him. The song paints a bleak picture of corporate greed and excess, with the CEO bribe police officers to avoid punishment, and complaining about income tax despite making thousands each month.
Overall, the song "Ceo" is a powerful critique of the corporate world, highlighting its corrupt nature and its exploitative practices. It shines a light on the double lives led by those in power, exposing the hypocrisies and excesses that come with wealth and status.
