| basically it is painting education as the indoctrination of the youth in the prejudices of the government and uses imagery of concentration camps and prisons to do so. | |

| It's about the Nazi Concentration camps and the suffering the Jews had. "It's dark now in Dachau..." Dachau was a Concentration camp. "Instructor come separate the healthy form tha sick..." When people arrived in the camps, they were separated, the sick were killed and the healthy were used for labor. "Ya weigh me on a scale I'm smellin' Burnt skin..." Burnt skin you get because of the people who were executed. "'Cause tha bosses right ta live is mine ta die" Probably something about Hitler...his right to live is ours to die which means that he deserves to be dead. And thats all I could figure out without researching. | |

| this song is about him in a classroom setting, and listening to all the bullshit the teacher is trying to shove down his throat. he now realizes that all the shit the teacher said was crap and made him feel like jew in a concentration, inferior(according to the nazis)(well decipherred by alltherage91). at the end he talks about standin up and telling the truth and letting the guilty pay for crap they told in the classroom. another clue to decoding this song lies in the title "year of the boomerang". think about what a boomerang does...you throw it, it comes right back, so he trying to say its his turn to have a go at the injustice and lies that were present in the classroom. | |
