The Enemy have gone on a lot about this song. They say its about the fact that it's not ok to be a slave to the system working all the time for a pittance for "a man in a tie". They say it's better to brake away from all that and to try and be special and make a difference, which is why they're in a band. The Enemy talk about how big faceless companies come along to places like Coventry where they live, give people jobs only to shut down and leave people unemployed. Basically they reckon it's not ok to work your whole life and forget to live.
