This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
I've seen people turn to God, their discipline is praising the Lord.
I've seen people go off to war getting discipline and needing it more.
I've seen people junk up in the street, their discipline is needle speak.
I've seen many things in my time, I haven't seen water turn to wine.
We all live like dogs our disciplines are laws,
Discipline on TV screens ensures the persistence of the mainstream dream.
We all live like dogs our disciplines are the laws,
Discipline on TV screens ensures the persistence of the mainstream dream.
And do what you like because I'll never ask why I value my own life.
And do what you like, you're gonna do the God damn life, and I will remember you.
I've seen people turn to crime, their discipline is what's mine.
I've seen people walk in line, their disciplines were right wing minds.
I've seen people turn to God, their discipline is praising the Lord.
I've seen people go off to war getting discipline and needing more.
We all live like dogs our disciplines are laws,
Discipline on TV screens ensures the persistence of the mainstream dream.
We all live like dogs our disciplines are the laws,

And do what you like because I'll never ask why I value my own life.
Do what you like your gonna do the God damn life, and I will remember you.
Do what you like because I'll never ask why I value my own life.
Do what you like because I'll never ask why I value my own life.
I will remember you, I will remember you,
And I will remember you, I will remember you,
Disciplines are our laws.
I've seen people go off to war getting discipline and needing it more.
I've seen people junk up in the street, their discipline is needle speak.
I've seen many things in my time, I haven't seen water turn to wine.
We all live like dogs our disciplines are laws,

And I will remember you, I will remember you,

Gentle Hour

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
