i think the song's about what people are expected to put up with in this society, to "grin and bear" certain unpleasantries... we teach people to be modest, meek, forgiving, apologetic, and shameful while letting others walk all over them. and when someone opens their mouth or raises a fist they are spoken out against and often laughed at. "it's a joke. i give up" ...sad that so many people are trained this way without even knowing it
