Link"They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do"
This is most likely a parallel to the public school system, and how they force you to be one thing. Lies and books are a reference to how history books change historical facts like how Benjamin Franklin owned slaves, etc. Making a citizen out of you is simple, it's just saying how a citizen is stareotyped as only one type of person

Link"Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keepin' you clean
They gonna rip up your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine"
Drugs I believe is a parallel to ADHD meds, or any kind of meds. They usually don't help with mental health and make it look like your fine on the outside, but it keeps your mental stability the same.
Giving you a smirk is just the government (and/or illuminati) showing that they are satisfied with the fact they can control you with their corrupt system
Ripping up heads and inspiration. This could be a reference to how people are against blood and gore, meanwhile horror enthusiasts are inspired by it

Link"They said all
Teenagers scare
The living shit out of me
They could care less
As long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me"
This part is mostly portraying how society sees teenagers, saying that they are scary, horrifying, bloodthirsty goth monsters, even though most of them are suffering through issues because of puberty, *ahem* female issues *ahem* and a lot more

Link"The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they stick
You're never gonna fit in much, kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did"
The first part of this verse is about how schoolkids of all ages are being bullied. You would think that cliques are a high school problem, but even at my 5th grade lunch table we have a way less complicated version of the mean girls cafeteria. Let me explain
On the very far right we have the decent boys, then right after we have th girly girls, which take up most of the table, there's a small space then you have the tomboys (me and my like 2 friends) , then you have the disgusting boys.
The other half may be confusing but I think I get it. It's referencing a gun. There's a small place between your shirt and pants where you can snuggle small pbjects, like pistols
