Rx Bandits – Status

i don't care how she treats me anymore now
cause every time i try to argue
she walks right out that door
but its just not how you look
well its just its how you feel inside
it don't matter if you got any money or not
if you hold your head up high
i'll tell you once what i'm really coming out to do
i'm gonna burn this system to the ground for you
radio and tv shows try to make you play the roles
don't let them take you for a ride
one more day, to leave it all behind
to go where you have never even tried
don't you let your inhibitions guide your way
baby won't you look at me?
but you ain't got the time of day
cause i ain't got no money
but what is money if you ain't got happiness
it really don't make sense to me
i ain't got no status or fucking album rock
but i still got the voice to sing
so what?
i ain't got no status
i've just got a mind of my own
what do you want with status?
we ain't got no status
we've just got a mind of our own
do you have a mind of your own?

    this song tells me to keep going even though life sucks-- "one more day, to leave it all behind, to go where you have never even tried" means leave status and money out of the picture for once and live life without worrying about it.

    General CommentActually, I kinda get it now. This song is basically liking somone for who they are and not what they have. Like the saying "Choose quality over quantity." And basically thinking for yourself. Not caring about someone's status. But about them.

    General CommentThis song is speaking out about how in our capitalist, greed induced society many people are concered more with money and the status created by having a lot of it! The Bandits are saying 'Fuck money and fuck status!' there is more to life and people than all that superficial junk....Awesume tune!

    General CommentI love this song!! My Favorite line is..."but what is money if you ain't got happiness" It's so True!! Money means nothing if you don't have something else to fill that void in your life.
