Public Image Ltd delivers a critical exploration of urban life and societal norms through their lyrics. The song explores themes of alienation and disillusionment with a rapidly changing cityscape, where traditions and character are obscured by modern developments. The repeated lines "Get out of my world" express a desire for liberation from the constraints and chaos of urban existence. The juxtaposition of "palaces" and "barricades" symbolizes the conflicts and contradictions inherent in modern society, where aspirations often clash with barriers. The demand to "open your mouth now" suggests a call for awareness and self-expression amidst the overwhelming pressures of conformity. Overall, the song encapsulates a sense of frustration with the inevitable changes in urban environments, where progress often leads to a loss of identity and authenticity.
Seattle
Lyrics
Don't like the look of this old town
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found
On unfamiliar playing ground
Get out of my world
What in the world
Shoeboxed around the rifle range
Have all your functions rearranged
Your mind and body gagged and bound
On a new familiar playing ground
The ordinary will ignore
Whatever they cannot explain
As if nothing ever happened
And everything remained the same again
What in the world
What in the world
What in the world
Get out of my world (What in the world)
Get out of my world
Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world
Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world
Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world
Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world
Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world
Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world
Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world
Get up, get up, get out, get out, get out of my world
Open your mouth now
Secret signs and knowing looks
These sunny days will cook the books
Happy to take the misery
This mortal life can bring to me
Don't like the look of this town
What goes up must come down
Character is lost and found on unfamiliar playing ground
What in the world
What in my the world
What in the world
(What in the world) what in, get out, get out, get out of my world
What in the world
