Tripping Lyrics
First they ignore you
Then laugh at you and hate you
Then they fight you
Then you win
When the truth dies very bad things happen
They’re being heartless again
I know its gone and there’s going to be violence
I’ve taken as much as I’m willing to take
Why do you think we should suffer in silence?
When a heart is broken there’s nothing to break
You’ve been messing with some very heavy faces
The boys have done a bit of bird
They don’t kill their own when they all love their mothers
But you’re out of your depth son have a word
I know its gone and there’s going to be violence
I’ve taken as much as I’m willing to take
Why do you think we should suffer in silence?
The heart is broken there’s nothing to break
All is wonderful in this life
Dreaming of the son she wants
You should see me in the afterlife
Thinking of the sons so lost
When you think we’re lost we’re exploring
What you think is what you’re soon adoring
You don’t want the truth the truth is boring
I’ve got this fever, need to
Leave the house
Leave the car
Leave the bad men where they are
I leave a few shells in my gun
n' its Got me staring at the sun....
I know its gone and there’s going to be violence
I’ve taken as much as I’m willing to take
Why do you say we should suffer in silence?
My heart is broken there’s nothing to break
Then laugh at you and hate you
Then they fight you
Then you win
They’re being heartless again
I know its gone and there’s going to be violence
I’ve taken as much as I’m willing to take
Why do you think we should suffer in silence?
When a heart is broken there’s nothing to break
The boys have done a bit of bird
They don’t kill their own when they all love their mothers
But you’re out of your depth son have a word
I’ve taken as much as I’m willing to take
Why do you think we should suffer in silence?
The heart is broken there’s nothing to break
Dreaming of the son she wants
You should see me in the afterlife
Thinking of the sons so lost
What you think is what you’re soon adoring
You don’t want the truth the truth is boring
I’ve got this fever, need to
Leave the house
Leave the car
Leave the bad men where they are
I leave a few shells in my gun
n' its Got me staring at the sun....
I’ve taken as much as I’m willing to take
Why do you say we should suffer in silence?
My heart is broken there’s nothing to break

According to my gay friend this song is all about the oppression of gays.
Yes the first stanza is Ghandi's quote, but my friend says it's actual like a motto for gays now.
"I know i'ts coming there's going to be violence, I"ve taken as much as I'm willing to take" Either referring to the gay guy who wants to fight against those who oppress him or the gay guy knowing he's going to get hurt but doesn't care.
"Why do you think we should suffer in silence?" Why should we keep our sexuality a secret? Our love a secret?
"When a heart is broken there's nothing left to break" If we choose to keep living a lie we won't have any hearts left to break/basically be unable to love.
i don't get it... what's this song about and where's the plagiarism?
"First they ignore you Then they laugh at you Then they fight you Then you win"
I like Robbie's songs, but quoting Gandhi in them is a touch conceited.
gandhi said that? i didn´t know
okay, somuch for the gandhi quote but what does the song actually mean?
My mum says it is a political song... I guess... some parts are very similar to the Cronalla Riots we have had in Australia.
