Struck A Nerve Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for Struck A Nerve lyrics by Machine Head

This song is a challenge to conformity, fighting the status quo, and encourages you to break free from societal constraints. It says that no matter how things change, the system and status quo never change. It's about urging people to question their beliefs and values, and to actively engage with the world around them. The line and title of the album, "The more things change, the more they stay the same", means that despite surface-level shifts, the fundamental problems and injustices persist. Another line in the song, "courage to kill the pro-life," is possibly a statement against the anti-abortion movement (the pro-life movement), confronting their old religious/righteous beliefs and fighting for change.
