This is the song on the album that really caught my attention! It is probably still my favorite song on the album and I see why they titled the album after it! Anyway the reason it really caught my attention is from my work as a nurse on a psychiatric ward. This is what I think... I believe they are referring to an actual social disease (depression is one, but so is bi-polar disorder which is usually much more severe). Many "social diseases" are seriously stigmatized and have links to the ways you grow up (socially isolated, rejected, paranoid, etc.). Sometimes it only takes one thing for a flare up or onset of the disease to occur, "another lose cannon gone bi-polar." Sometimes these individuals feel like nobody understands and have no hope, therefore no sense of humor. Medications help with these disorders, but it requires the individuals determination and will to stay on the medications and other interventions to really recover.
Stop sleeping with a gun, which sounds like the on the verge lifestyle these people live always flirting with suicide, wake up and fight for yourself, is the determination it takes to recover. It seems like the song is saying, I've been there, I've had that disease, but I worked at it and I'm here to tell you about it. It's saying get a swift kick in the ass and get up and help yourself! This may be to literal of an interpretation, but it sounds to me like someone in this group has experienced bi-polar disorder or depression, so it would make some sense to them.
This song was kind of confusing to me. I really like the way you put it! I also agree with you now. I was kind of looking at it too open-mindedly. I sort of saw it as a attack on the outcasts, and the ones always last in line. What you say I think works greatly with ADHD, at least for me. I have struggled so hard with it. But like you said, but I worked at it and I am here to tell you about it. But ADHD, will affect you in so many ways. I have a hard...

But like you said, but I worked at it and I am here to tell you about it. But ADHD, will affect you in so many ways. I have a hard time socially, with directions, with learning, with listening. People aren't patient, they can be very mean. It wasn't too long ago when I was very paranoid about people and other things. Let me tell you and anyone else who reads this, my life has parts that just really really suck. But there is ALWAYS HOPE!!! My problems helped me to become a better and stronger person too. "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about, be kind. ALWAYS!!!" I believe you can do anything you put your mind to! I will always have ADHD, but that is my problem, but it is my job to help people, and support them so they can feel loved, wanted, and respected! Teach them how to kind deal with it, even though sometimes you will have it for your life.
