They ask why we dress this way
Live for now, stand today
See the kids but don't hear what they say
Close your eyes and look the other way
You say the end justifies the means
They'll lock us up throw away the keys
Crucified, crucified for your sins [Repeat x2]
They don't know our feelings
Only our desperate cries
They seek protection through distorted eyes
Can't tell the truth from their lies
We've got to learn to fight to live
Before they grind us under heel
We're the targets so easy to find
We're the ones that.
Won't stay in line I find myself nailed to a cross
For something that I didn't do
It's your fault you've ruined our lives
But we're the ones you crucify
You're the ones who commit the crimes
But it's always us who do the time

    I just recently found out about this band, this is only the second song I've heard by them. I like it. I feel like it's about our society pressuring us to be like everyone else, and those who don't are 'crucified' or shunned and declared abnormal or 'bad' by the rest of society.

    The meaning to this song... To those of us who are Skinheads.

    We're crucified by society. We're also judged for everything. When ever certain crimes ever happen, it's always us who get fucked over.

    "we're the targets so easy to find and we're the ones that won't stay in line i find myself nailed to a cross for something that i didn't do it's your fault you've ruined our lives and we're the ones you crucify you're the ones who commit the crimes but it's always us who do the time"

    Crucified Skins.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
