This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.
Self-soothing and self-improving, but not long 'til we start shooting.
Trained to be insane and punished for the same.
Consider this a withdrawal of my own
name.
Where the fuck are we after two thousand years?
What have we become?
Just some cavemen with guns,
Almost like life is a game and we do it just for fun.
Disable your brain and make your move to insane.
Just do your fucking job and you won’t be the one to blame.
We are always the ones to blame.
I want to live free - no masters, no gods.
Stay young until I die but somehow that’s odd.
A purposeful facade suppressing who we are.
They ruined freedom so I am going to shut it down.
Progress is less than gradual when we are still killing each other,
Seems like we will go a full circle and end up back in trouble.
I'm going to stand tall above the oppression, above the hate.
Stand firm on my own two feet,
I know it’s hard but I am going to carry my weight.
Fuck ignorance, I’d rather be the invisible man,
And stay the fuck out of their master plan.
Live my life, the way that I am supposed to,
As a human, not as a fucking drone.
Everyday, I look around and I see what we value and it boggles my mind.
I can’t participate anymore,
Shut it down!
Trained to be insane and punished for the same.
Consider this a withdrawal of my own
name.
Where the fuck are we after two thousand years?

This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
