"This is not a party--Where people know your name
This is not a classroom--With teacher at the board
This is not a catshow--With prizes at the door
This is not a horse race--Where winners beat the time
This is not a funeral--With mourners in a line
This is not a sitcom--Where everything's alright
This is not a prison--With terror through the night. "
Describing life, possibly? And the "Go.." part may be a person asking someone to stay with them and just give life another try tomorrow, instead of maybe suicide. If you've seen the video, if I recall right, the band is playing and ghosts are floating around them. It's most definitely about suicide, if not just about death.
Anyways, back to Oingo Boingo..
