Bulletproof
Waterdown Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every single day on every job
They make things go
From bad to worse
Every crisis just another file so
Deal with it and leave it burned
Statesmen keep them fed
With tax money
To keep the carnage overseas
Pushing weapons to antagonists war
Might come back home some day
Broadcasting war to a jaded nation
Promote the scam creating fear

inconsiderate and bulletproof




In your offices
Do you count your victims?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Waterdown's song Bulletproof are a commentary on the bureaucracy and corruption that exist in the government and military. The song suggests that those in power are indifferent to the violence and chaos their decisions produce, and instead focus on promoting the "scam" of war to keep their positions of power and profit. The "statesmen," who are elected officials, are portrayed as feeding on the taxpayers' money while using it to sustain conflicts overseas. The song suggests that these politicians sell weapons to the "antagonists" of war, which could ultimately come back home to haunt them. The song also addresses the constantly broadcasted wars that have become just another form of entertainment for a jaded nation. The final line, "inconsiderate and bulletproof in your offices, do you count your victims?" serves as a final indictment of those in power and serves as a call for them to recognize the impact of their decisions on individual human lives.
