Memorable Lyrics:
- "I can't get into the neutron bomb/I can't get into something that will do me some harm/I can't get into a drug addict principle/I can't get into something that would close the door"
- "I can't get into the poisoned land/I can't get into something I don't understand/I can't into a bad romance/I can't get into a love that ends in a chance"

The singer declares that he is incapable of being a part of a society that is sick and demented. Presumably, he would prefer to live in Funkadelica (see P Funk mythology).
