Bang Bang Bang Lyrics

Lyric discussion by double2 

Cover art for Bang Bang Bang lyrics by Mark Ronson

Not everyone knows the meaning of the words to Alouette http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alouette_(song) - the line used in this song means "I will pluck your head", and the song title is "bang bang bang".

Putting 2 and 2 together along with the theme of being lied to and controlled shown elsewhere in the song, I'm fairly sure this song is anti-establishment in one shape or form, possibly surrounding government/media cover ups and basically claiming that there will be a counter uprising against these people.

Another element is speaking to the general public audience saying that so many things go over our heads and we don't pay attention to what's being clearly covered up and that people who choose to go along with the lies are as bad as the people instigating them.

Finally, especially with q tips part, I think he's describing the other level of world awareness experienced by those who are wealthy/successful but still very much counter culture and not necessarily in on the larger lies portrayed by the 360 degree media.

Sorry I haven't annotated which lines suggest each of those ideas, but I think once you have them in your head and you read through/listen to the lyrics again, it's pretty much plain as day.

Nice to have a cryptic, upbeat resistance song! It only further shows Mark Ronson's desire to become more influential with his work, thus putting his own name as the artist rather than producer of the upcoming album.
