Neighborhood Threat Lyrics

Cover art for Neighborhood Threat lyrics by Iggy Pop

To my knowledge, David Bowie did the music for it. It's a fantastic song. I think the song is about acknowledging the mass differences in the world. No matter how great you may be, someone somewhere doesn't give a damn about you.

"There's nothing to get" That lyric conveys they idea of there being no meaning in life. The idea could be applied to there being so many mass differences. What meaning can your religion has when those people over there have never heard of it?

Just my opinion.

I like that. "No matter how great you may be, someone somewhere doesn't give a damn about you."

I also think it's about homeless people, beggers, trying to scrape by and how society gives up hope and assumes the worst about people that are just trying to survive.
