Moyet later described how her song "Goodbye 70's" had been inspired by her disillusionment with how the late-1970s punk scene had turned out, saying, "'Goodbye 70's' is about punk and not caring how you were dressed, and then I discovered that so many of my friends that I'd thought it all really meant something to just saw it as another trend... That's what 'Goodbye 70's' was all about, about how sour the whole thing became."
Hey boss, are you listening to this? I'm tired of breaking my back to make you rich
Yeah, hey boss, it doesn't make much sense why I give all my time to barely pay the rent
Hey boss, I'm tired of rivers of shit that's flowing from your lips
I'm really sick of it
Hey boss, I'm not an idiot
My pay's too weak to deal with this
Yeah, I'm going to punch the clock one day one day and I'll punch you too, I'm going to make you pay
I was looking for a job when I found this one
I'd gladly murder you but I don't own a gun
Hey boss, you're getting fat as a tick
See my skinny ribs, I'm getting as thin as a pin
Pop!
Hey boss, I've got a nervous twitch
I'm like a volatile bottle of nitro glycerine
You're going to go to bed one night and I'll slash your throat by the pale moonlight
So watch your back
You'd rather swim with sharks
When I'm through with, you won't live to scar
You pay me shit
Payback's a bitch
I've got to quit before I snap again
You pay me shit
Payback's a bitch
I've got to quit before I kill again
Yeah, hey boss, it doesn't make much sense why I give all my time to barely pay the rent
Hey boss, I'm tired of rivers of shit that's flowing from your lips
I'm really sick of it
Hey boss, I'm not an idiot
My pay's too weak to deal with this
Yeah, I'm going to punch the clock one day one day and I'll punch you too, I'm going to make you pay
I was looking for a job when I found this one
I'd gladly murder you but I don't own a gun
Hey boss, you're getting fat as a tick
See my skinny ribs, I'm getting as thin as a pin
Pop!
Hey boss, I've got a nervous twitch
I'm like a volatile bottle of nitro glycerine
You're going to go to bed one night and I'll slash your throat by the pale moonlight
So watch your back
You'd rather swim with sharks
When I'm through with, you won't live to scar
You pay me shit
Payback's a bitch
I've got to quit before I snap again
You pay me shit
Payback's a bitch
I've got to quit before I kill again

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
