Both as a standalone and as part of the DSOTS album, you can take this lyric as read. As a matter of public record, Jourgensen's drug intake was legendary even in the 1980s. By the late 90s, in his own words, he was grappling with massive addiction issues and had lost almost everything: friends, spouse, money and had nearly died more than once. "Dark Side of the Spoon" is a both funny & sad title for an album made by a musical genius who was losing the plot; and this song is a message to his fans & friends saying he knows it. It's painful to listen to so I'm glad the "Keith Richards of industrial metals" wised up and cleaned up. Well done sir.
Hey, girl, it's a new world, let's have a little fun!
Don't stay hidden away, come and join everyone.
Everyone.
Outside I'm ready to ride, we can go anywhere.
Don't wait, procrastinate take a chance if you dare
I want to take you there.
Find a pace in the sun.
You know you want to go, it's no sacrifice.
I want what you want, in fact I'll even do it twice
At half the price.
Find a place in the sun.
Didn't you hear that the war has been won?
Good people died to provide you a place in the sun.
I'm here, what's there to fear? We're not breaking any law.
Someday I know you'll say you wonder
What you waited for
What are you waiting for?
Find a place in the sun.
Didn't you know any wrong you have done
Cannot deny you the right to a place in the sun?
Find a place in the sun.
Don't stay hidden away, come and join everyone.
Everyone.
Outside I'm ready to ride, we can go anywhere.
Don't wait, procrastinate take a chance if you dare
I want to take you there.
Find a pace in the sun.
You know you want to go, it's no sacrifice.
I want what you want, in fact I'll even do it twice
At half the price.
Find a place in the sun.
Didn't you hear that the war has been won?
Good people died to provide you a place in the sun.
I'm here, what's there to fear? We're not breaking any law.
Someday I know you'll say you wonder
What you waited for
What are you waiting for?
Find a place in the sun.
Didn't you know any wrong you have done
Cannot deny you the right to a place in the sun?
Find a place in the sun.

The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
