Type Lyrics
Stereotype
Monotype
Blood type
Are you my type?
Minimalism
Abstract expressionism
Postmodernism
Is it?
We are the children of concrete and steel
This is the place where the truth is concealed
This is the time when the lie is revealed
Everything is possible, but nothing is real
Corporate religion
Televangahypnotism
Suffer till you die
For the sweet-bye-and-bye
Science and technology, the new mythology
Look deep inside
Empty
We are the children of concrete and steel
This is the place where the truth is concealed
This is the time when the lie is revealed
Everything is possible, but nothing is real
Everything that goes around
Comes around
Hypothetical
Theoretical
Circumstantial evidence
Irrelevance
Don't think twice
Just roll the dice
Pay the price
Snake eyes
We are the children of concrete and steel
This is the place where the truth is concealed
This is the time when the lie is revealed
Everything is possible, but nothing is real
We are the children of concrete and steel
This is the place where your fate has been sealed
This is the time when your life is revealed
Everything is possible, but nothing is real
Everything that goes around
Comes around...

What a great and ignored band. This is a fantastic song, one of many on this album.
I think this song is about how everyone categorizes people, and how the process never completely does anyone justice. We are all many things, and it doesn't serve any of us to place a simple label on a person. It's convenient, but not useful.
Corey Glover, the lead singer, said in an introduction to this song, that it's about "the buzzword syndrome": little words or phrases we use that are supposed to teach us everything (but usually don't).
The song is full of non sequiturs that sound important on their own or even mixed together, but like most things, are completely up to our own interpretation. A microcosm of this website, actually. ;)
Ahh Living Colour, one of the best bands people don't listen to.
