Q&A
Panasonic Youth Lyrics
We wrote these plans took the order
the architecture and followed them to the end ‘till the gears ground
cold and relentless there was no remorse
we had none we kept on with no trace of a regret
there was no remorse
I never saw any blood
no soul
for the body
watch them turn her scab covered skin into
stone
like a coal in the sky
searching for the dawn
for the last time
bloated with white eyes wide
we've come to an understanding
you lose
I profit
high noon and there ain't no secrets
no more
excuses
now our number's up
let them lead us by the throat
now just smile while the rope pulls tighter
tighter
guilty is an understatement
the hourglass is never right side up
and all the time we try to tear the script up
forgetting all the sour for the sweet
the paragraph has never been so empty
the lifeless test tube
the lifeless test tube
with infant in arms
the lifeless test tube
look what she's done
evolution gave us a clock that's always
winding down
evolution gave us a clock that's always
winding down
the architecture and followed them to the end ‘till the gears ground
cold and relentless there was no remorse
there was no remorse
no soul
for the body
watch them turn her scab covered skin into
stone
like a coal in the sky
searching for the dawn
for the last time
bloated with white eyes wide
you lose
I profit
high noon and there ain't no secrets
no more
excuses
let them lead us by the throat
now just smile while the rope pulls tighter
tighter
the hourglass is never right side up
and all the time we try to tear the script up
forgetting all the sour for the sweet
the paragraph has never been so empty
with infant in arms
the lifeless test tube
look what she's done
winding down
evolution gave us a clock that's always
winding down

I think that it might have to do with Capitalism gone wrong (its current state). The plans being the constitution and the following of the government's rules until the Constitution became something that it was never intended to be. But I may be way off.
fucking awesome song. sweet band. i saddly admit i heard about this band through my social studies teacher. but man does have he good taste. i live in a wigger town and alllll my friends listen to rap its almost impoisble to escape rap. thats a huge ass problem these days
"Anyone else think the title has anything to do with Sonic Youth?"
Good point, I never noticed that.
"and all the time we try to tear the script up"
Greg sounds exactly like Mike Patton on this line.
what a great start to the new album!
You have no idea how cool this song is live...its like the whole fucking venue exploded!
I think the final lines of the song make it clear what the songs about. As far as we have evolved,.. we have degenerated so far as a socity, and science, government and buisness/consumption are our biggest downfalls
this band is amazin live, so intense and great. this song i think for some reason is about abortion, but i also agree wit the rich the leech about degeneration as a society...
i believe this song's about abortion specifically, and the evolution[s] of science generally. The speaker was involved in an abortion procedure, and now feals great guilt. perhaps at the beginning he [an his partner?] haven't realized what they have done, feeling no remorse. By the end of the song, they feel pain in realizing their choice, and part of this is blamed on the evolution of science, providing options to kill with no remorse.
The song is about the machine the metaphorical machine its about how no one really owns there soul anymore everything is systamatic we just follow the orders given to us and never question it the more we progress as a society the more we kill ourselves
