Overrated Lyrics

Worn out and faded
The weakness starts to show
They’ve created the generation
That we know
Washed up and hated
The system moves to slow
They give us answers
To questions they don’t even know

You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated

Used up and jaded
You’re thinking way to slow
So we’re creating
Answers on our own
We can’t relate
To what you think you know
Are you create
The problems that will never
Go away

You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated

You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated

(Go away, go away, go away, go away)

You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated

You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated
You made it
You played it
Your shit is overrated

I love this song, it's almost exactly what I think of the government. "Worn out and faded The weakness starts to show They've created the generation That we know." -- This is obviously talking about how people in the government and usually pretty old, older than most of the people in their country. "Washed up and hated The system moves to slow" --I really like this line I must admit. I don't think you could find anyone who likes/completely agrees with their current government. And the U.S. court system moves really slowly, cases and take months and sometimes years to be decided, it's awful/pathetic/stupid/etc. "They give us answers To questions they don't even know" --This is so true, if you watch political interviews, it seems like a lot of the time the person being interviewed just gives total bull crap responses that hardly make sense and have nothing to do with the question they're being asked.

My Interpretation

I love this song. On their site Neil said this about the song: "The lyrics in this song talk about our generation that is tired of conforming to an outdated set of values, rules, and morals, that have been set up by people of an older generation, who are completely out of touch with the way we choose to live our lives today."

That makes sence. It's reminds me of todays, cooperate America, especially our economy and where it stands. Eveyone has been so greedy and out of touch with the morals our found fathers have set and is just wanting to be the big dog on top. So Bush and political leaders from his party and cabinet never answered our questions that we had about the way things were going for America.

That's what I think of the song, but I also like the meaning that Neil gives it as well. But this song is one of my all time Three Days...

I would be interested to know what the band's political views are, I can't help but think this song describes the 60s protest generation so aptly... youth of today are so over that

u guys are making it sound like this song is about old ppl. i dont care what it says that Neil said, i think it sounds more like it's about the media. i mean.. "you create The problems that will never Go away" i think that sums up my opinion!
