Back and Forth Lyrics
Listen to me
Listen to me my children
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen children
Gather around to hear the sound of my voice
Dear girls and boys well you’re making a choice
You can think for yourselves
Or you can buy all my toys
Disregard mental health
Jump around, make some noise
I’d never lie to you
You know I’d die for you
Yeah, I love you too
So just do what you do,
Consume and gobble it up
Come on, show me some love
Or I’ll be blowin you up.
I’m lying through my teeth
To get everything I need
I’ll be what you want me to be
That’s why I’m dancin’ dancin’
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Side to side
See me!
Stare into my eyes you’re getting sleepy
Feed me!
And then I’ll feed the hungry and the needy
TV
Is the loving eye of education
Free me
I’ll drag a burning smile across this nation.
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Side to side
I control you
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Side to side
Listen to me
Listen to me my children
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen children
Listen to me my children
Listen to me
Listen to me
Listen children
Dear girls and boys well you’re making a choice
You can think for yourselves
Or you can buy all my toys
Disregard mental health
Jump around, make some noise
You know I’d die for you
Yeah, I love you too
So just do what you do,
Consume and gobble it up
Come on, show me some love
Or I’ll be blowin you up.
To get everything I need
I’ll be what you want me to be
That’s why I’m dancin’ dancin’
Back and forth
Back and forth
Side to side
Stare into my eyes you’re getting sleepy
Feed me!
And then I’ll feed the hungry and the needy
TV
Is the loving eye of education
Free me
I’ll drag a burning smile across this nation.
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Back and forth
Side to side
Listen to me my children
Listen to me
Listen to me

It seems pretty clear that this song is referring to people blindly following a leader. It is vague in that it could be a political, religious or some other form of leadership. I believe it is explaining to people that they need to think for themselves, or possibly that they need to quit worshiping everyday crap (buy my toys).
Either way, catchy tune.
I agree with you that it's about blindly following a leader. But you're sorely mistaken that it's about people thinking for themselves. Dr Steel loves us. We love Dr Steel. We must blindly follow Dr Steel. How else will we ever create a Utopian Playground? I love Dr Steel. Dr Steel is my best friend. I love Dr Steel.
Dr Steel.
Dr Steel.
Doctor.
Steel.
You can think for yourselves Or you can buy all my toys
You can think for yourselves Or you can buy all my toys
Factorxfiles is right, not sorely mistaken. By the way, the utopian playground is a metaphor, so is the persona of Dr. Steel, just in case you're serious.
