- Your Emotions Lyrics / with translationsYour mommy told you this
And your daddy told you that
Always think like this
And never do that
You learned so many feelings
But what is there to that
Which are really yours
Or are you just a copycat
Your school told you this
And your church told you that
Memorize this
And don't you dare look at that
...
Just a tape recorder
Mimicking of the bores
You're so boring boring boring
Always tape machine recording
You're so boring boring boring
I've heard all this before
Planless and mindless
Scraps from anywhere
Bunch of used parts
From garbage pails everywhere
Frankenstein became a monster
Just like you
Your scars only show
When someone talks to you
You're so boring boring boring
Always tape machine recording
You're so boring boring boring
I've heard all this before
I've heard all this before
I've heard all this before
Your emotions make you a monster
Your emotions make you a monster
Your emotions make you a monster
Your emotions make you a monster
And your daddy told you that
Always think like this
And never do that
You learned so many feelings
But what is there to that
Which are really yours
Or are you just a copycat
Your school told you this
And your church told you that
Memorize this
And don't you dare look at that
...
Just a tape recorder
Mimicking of the bores
You're so boring boring boring
Always tape machine recording
You're so boring boring boring
I've heard all this before
Planless and mindless
Bunch of used parts
From garbage pails everywhere
Frankenstein became a monster
Just like you
Your scars only show
When someone talks to you
You're so boring boring boring
Always tape machine recording
You're so boring boring boring
I've heard all this before
I've heard all this before
I've heard all this before
Your emotions make you a monster
Your emotions make you a monster
Your emotions make you a monster
Your emotions make you a monster

✔️
When we look at what the artist truly meant to say, the Dead Kennedys' 'Your Emotions' reflects the critique of a society that relies on the same behavior and the extinction of individuality, with metaphors such as a 'tape machine' and 'Frankenstein' to show how external forces can make a person a dull and uncreative one. The lyrics of Your emotions mostly highlight social commentary, angst, anger, reflection, and despair simultaneously; the song also accentuates conformity and imitation, authority figures manipulating, no individuality and emotional suppression. The words used in the lyrics are quite harsh and deal with themes that oppose house and support individuality, this might be a little too much for the not so mature audience. The use of expressions like 'Frankenstein became a monster just like you' and 'Your scars only show when someone talks to you' points to very powerful and intense imagery and the themes of those who are the oldest are the ones that can best grasp it.
