One of the top 5 Oingo Boingo songs, and its inventive video illustrates it perfectly. I won't be the first one to say this: Danny Elfman is a genius. |

So this is about someone who's frustrated with his lack of meaningful employment; he has anger issues, craves a better life for himself, but can't see a way out. I think these lyrics are a big hint: "It's the power of your love keeps me under their thumb 'cause the beat of your heart is the beat of my drum;" Hmm, a man feeling trapped by his need to earn money so that he can keep supporting a wife, a girlfriend, maybe a kid? His love for this other person traps him in his tedious job, and keeps him a slave to some unnamed corporate entity. It's tragic that this man is viewing love as his prison. |
