Lyric discussion by ranjit 

i'd say it's a song against complacency, stopping the struggle, sitting there and taking it. the song is full of images of the disenfranchised:

'Cause I've been standing at the station In need of education in the rain You made no preparation for my reputation once again & Some might say you get what you've been given

but you can't say that if you're genuinely in the gutter. the gallaghers are old labour stalwarts, and the song seems to me to be making the point that all this bullshit people spew about society being alright really is just that - bullshit.
