The lyrics "Know your place in life is where you want to be" refers to the fact that everybody with a fully functioning mind is exactly who what and where they are socially, economically, in fact in every facet of life, because in the end that is truly where they want to be. An overweight person chooses that extra jelly donut because they place more value on the pleasure of the moment rather than having an excellent physique. Yet they bemoan their undesireable current circumstance and say that life is not fair. They are exactly where they are because that is truly where they want to be, and their actions reflect that fact. They are unwilling to do the more difficult thing for the long term benefit. If they are in an impoverished state due to lack of employment and subsequently money, they exist in that state because it is acceptable to them given the alternative of working for extra money to have a better life yet they complain that life is not fair and they are unlucky, the fact is they are unwilling to do the more difficult thing and improve their value to the marketplace by improving themselves through education or whatever is necessary to bring them more money. You are who you are and what you are because in the end that is truly where you want to be. |
