The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
Mickey's on the production line
I'm a super mouse in time
Everybody's doing the goose step out in anaheim
Mastermouse gonna feel no fear
Mickey's gonna lead us to the new frontier
Everybody wants to be the perfect mouseketeer
And there's stukas over disneyland
Stukas over disneyland
Stukas over disneyland
Stukas over disneyland
Jiminy cricket wrote a victory speech
With nottsberry farm right in reach
Our liebestraum has been extended to huntington beach
Turn on the gas and you're gonna see
How to achieve racial harmony
We need a perfect order that's our genetic destiny
Got an ss ticket I'm feeling fine
Spent five long hours just standing in line
Passed inspection got my ears on straight
Gonna fire up my engines 'fore it gets too late
I just can't wait
I'm a super mouse in time
Everybody's doing the goose step out in anaheim
Mastermouse gonna feel no fear
Mickey's gonna lead us to the new frontier
Everybody wants to be the perfect mouseketeer
And there's stukas over disneyland
Stukas over disneyland

Got an ss ticket I'm feeling fine
Spent five long hours just standing in line
Passed inspection got my ears on straight
Gonna fire up my engines 'fore it gets too late
I just can't wait

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

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,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
As a young man in southern California in the early 80s - I always thought this song was about the growth of the skinhead nazi movement in that area at the time. Glad it was stomped out (literally) for the most part.
