Tyranny of Normality Lyrics
The media is the seduction of human desire
(Set the money, set the money on fire)
And if you try to show me the truth then I know your a liar
A liar
It's a tyranny of normality
It's a tyranny of normality
Our culture has become complacent it has no desire
(Take back, take back our empire)
And the ethical slaughter of truth needs to be retired
We're tired
It's a tyranny of normality
It's a tyranny of normality
It's the death of outrage
I want to turn a new page
I mourn the death the of our age
The obituary's on the front page
Since the death of outrage
I want to turn a new page
I mourn the death the of our age
The obituary's on the front page
It's the death of outrage
I mourn the death the of our age
The obituary's on the front page
It's a tyranny of normality
It's a tyranny of normality
(Set the money, set the money on fire)
And if you try to show me the truth then I know your a liar
A liar
It's a tyranny of normality
(Take back, take back our empire)
And the ethical slaughter of truth needs to be retired
We're tired
It's a tyranny of normality
I want to turn a new page
I mourn the death the of our age
The obituary's on the front page
Since the death of outrage
I want to turn a new page
I mourn the death the of our age
The obituary's on the front page
It's the death of outrage
I mourn the death the of our age
The obituary's on the front page
It's a tyranny of normality

j'm not really a papa roach fan but found it ridiculous that no one could figure out what this song means. the meaning is in the title. it's about being enslaved by the popular opinion. people give in to stupid trends without questioning the reasoning behind them. we live in a culture that's bigger on conformity than it is on individualism. most people don't understand that there's nothing wrong with being "weird". this song is basically just bashing "normal" people or anyone who thinks it's good to be normal and bad to be weird. it's not just about personality etc. but it's about the complacent, unquestioning attitude of these people who can't really think critically, and how that affects/makes our society more retarded.
Yes, same here: I'm not a Papa Roach fan and I think it's ridiculous that no one understood the lyrics.

But the most ironic thing is that Papa Roach isn't that alternative themselves. They are actually pretty mainstream. It's that kind of music that sells these days. So this song is totally paradox, and THAT'S retarded!

no clue what the song means but the first line is awesome
The media is the seduction of human desire
so very very true that media sucks and puts images into our heads and brainwashes us about what is "hot" and popular...very very sad
i absolutly love this song!!! i think the song basicly explains itself. It's talking about all of the tragedy in that happens in the US.
"The media is the seduction of human desire (set the money, set the money on fire" ^^the media is portraying the US, and people are reading about it
"and if you try to show me the truth then i know you're a liar" ^^people read into these stories and believe everything they hear
"and the ethical slaughter of truth needs to be retired" ^^people are lying, and telling us these stories
"i want to turn a new page i mourn the death of our age the obituary's on the front page" ^^people are dying, and we don't want to have it anymore
That's what i understood of the song anyway...any other suggestions?
“The Tyranny of Normality” is at least in part about the corruption of a government that appears to be acting out of concern for the common man, but is really motivated by greed and power.
