Over And Over
Young Heart Attack Lyrics

People talkin 'bout solutions, over and over
People constantly discussing solutions to problems.

People repeatedly discussing the need for a revolution to bring change.

I was talking 'bout ecology, over and over
The singer mentions talking about ecology frequently.

'Bout how we'll be saved by technology, over and over
People keep saying technology will save us repetitively.

While the cat next door spends all his time Trying to think up new antisocial crimes
The artist notices their neighbor is always thinking of negative things to do.

I said no, I said hang on a minute now I set let me outta here I said no, no, no
The singer expresses their desire to leave the current situation and protests against what is happening.

People talking revolution, over and over About a mass execution, over and over
The repetition of people discussing revolution and murder.

Well I was working in a factory, over and over Just trying to make it satisfactory, over and over
The artist repeats their experience of working in a factory and trying to make things better.

But all these inclinations toward manic frustration I want my vaccination against castration
The artist feels overwhelmed and frustrated and wants to be protected against feeling powerless.

Vietnam, what a sexy war Uncle Sam's a pimp, wants us to be sleepers,
The artist comments on the irony of the term 'sexy war' and compares the government to a pimp trying to control its citizens.

I said no, I said I can't take much more of this You better let me outta here I said no, no, no

Oh you see I need a release for my frustration Oh don't you see I can't hold my aggravation Oh, no, no, no, no

I see people dyin', over and over Why don't I sit around crying, over and over
The singer observes the repeated deaths of people and wonders why they are not crying about it.

I see people taking, over and over Why don't I sit around waiting, over and over
The singer observes people taking action and wonders why they are not waiting for things to happen.

The cop on the street wants us down on our needs The president says we've got to have peace The other cat says we need our liberation The hippies telling us we're in the love generation
The singer comments on the conflicting opinions and messages being sent by different people and groups.

I said whoa, I said hang on a minute now This can't go on much longer I said no, no, no
The artist realizes the situation is out of hand and protests against it again.

Over and over, over and over Over and over, over and over
The repetition of events and ideas in the song.
