The song is about the how capitalism can be flawed. The lyrics refer to workers wearing blue and brown with the men in the factory who are cunning. The lyrics show how somebody may be trapped withing the capitalist society, especially with the line "you got someone to boss around; it makes you feel big now" which shows a how capitalism is a never ending cycle.
"The men at the factory are old and cunning
You don't owe nothing, so boy get runnin'
It's the best years of your life they want to steal
But, you grow up and you calm down and
You're working for the clampdown
You start wearing the blue and brown and
You're working for the clampdown So you got someone to boss around
It makes you feel big now"
What musical elements add to your interpretation?
The emphasis of the phrases that comes out of a predominately muddled and muffled style of singing with the addition of instrumental emphasis adds to my interpretation.
How does the song related to propaganda, persuasion, argument, deception, and rhetoric?
The song uses rhetoric such as the repetition of the word "clampdown".
