Unwritten Law Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I read the news today
And the walrus said the lucky man made the grade yea
Well ain't that great
You say
Well about the rest of that news left me empty and mad
Singing the blues yeah
'cause,
Everything gets old, everyone is dumb
So I keep changing
Everything is gay, everyone is fake
So I can't hang around
Si-Si-Sitting back look with on your face
Like I'm a piece of crap
And you're a fucking ace well
Its time to go
You know?
Hit the road jack
Like the song goes you ain't ever coming back
Because the world turned black
Well don't you know?
'cause,
Everything gets old, everyone is dumb
So I keep changing
Everything is gay, everyone is fake
So I can't hang around
(Oh oh)
Well don't you know?
Everything gets old, everyone is dumb
So I keep changing
Everything is gay, everyone is fake
So I can't hang around
Everything gets old, everyone is dumb
So I keep changing
Every word they say
Every word is fake
So I won't be around
Everything gets old, everyone is dumb
Everything gets old, everyone is dumb
Everything gets old, everyone is dumb
The lyrics to Unwritten Law's song Walrus start off by referencing a line from the Beatles song "I am the Walrus". The song is about being fed up with people and life in general. The singer mentions reading the news and feeling empty and mad. The only good news he heard was that a lucky man made the grade - a reference to the line from the Beatles song.
The song then goes on to express the singer's frustration with people, calling everyone dumb and fake. He expresses his desire to distance himself from those people and not be around them anymore. The lyrics suggest a sense of disillusionment and a search for something more meaningful.

Well I read the news today
I have just read the news today
And the walrus said the lucky man made the grade yea
The walrus in the news said that a lucky man has made it to the top
Well ain't that great
That's really great
Well about the rest of that news left me empty and mad
However, the other news made me feel abandoned and angry
Singing the blues yeah
I am feeling upset about it
Its sad but true
It's a tragic reality, but it's the truth
Everything gets old, everyone is dumb
Everything eventually fades away, and people are ignorant
So I keep changing
I keep adapting and evolving
Everything is gay, everyone is fake
Everything is superficial, and people are insincere
So I can't hang around
I cannot stay in such an environment
Si-Si-Sitting back look with on your face
You look at me with disrespect and disdain
Like I'm a piece of crap
You treat me as if I were worthless
And you're a fucking ace well
But you behave like a genius
Its time to go
It's time for me to leave
You know?
Do you know what I mean?
Hit the road jack
I am leaving
Like the song goes you ain't ever coming back
As the song says, I will never return
Because the world turned black
Because the world has become dark and hopeless
Well don't you know?
Don't you understand?
Every word they say
Everything they say
Every word is fake
Is insincere and untrue
So I won't be around
I cannot stay in such an environment
Oh oh
Expression of frustration
Everything gets old, everyone is dumb
Everything eventually fades away, and people are ignorant
Everything gets old, everyone is dumb
Everything eventually fades away, and people are ignorant
Everything gets old, everyone is dumb
Everything eventually fades away, and people are ignorant
