Amen to that. Everything now is so formulated and packaged just to make money. There are no more new bands that come up through clubs and make it big.

[@Rad_Radster_Experience]

The song is about indoctrination being told how you should act, live and breathe as your growing up and then one day something snaps inside of you and you question who you are and the things you were taught to be. Brilliant reaction!

[@snikkerr1949]

Well... indoctrination...altho the buzz word right now...isn't really the point. It's more about as we are young everywhere we turn we're told how to act and be and no one thinks to teach us how to look inside ourselves to who we really are or want to be. If you feel the need to use indoctrination I guess that's your buzz word.

[@Rad_Radster_Experience]

@@snikkerr1949 that was the buzzword back in the 80s too. Indoctrination means teaching someone to accept a set of beliefs without questioning them and then you start to question these things. Perhaps we can call it Social Indoctrination.

[@OUTTA-TYME88]

Another brick in the wall by pink floyd is also about indoctrination in our kids schools. Kids are forced to grow up fast.

[@tnightwolf]

"There are times when all the world's asleep The questions run too deep For such a simple man Won't you, please, please, tell me what we've learned? I know it sounds absurd Please tell me who I am Now watch what you say Or they'll be calling you a radical A liberal Oh fanatical, criminal Oh, won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable Respectable Oh presentable, a vegetable" This always gets me! The conformity/killing of new visions in human form, with such potential to make the world a better place for everyone just because instead of adressing one-self hard questions, it is often way easier to just pass on the problematic burden of reality into a younger generation.

[@CindyNavarro]

My youngest son is 1 year older than you. When he was 15 he came home telling me about Supertramp & asking if I had heard of them. I laughed & said, I bought the album when I was pregnant with you; it's in my bedroom. BONUS - he also found my Jimi Hendrix music.

[@shawnk7832]

Bloody well right. Supertramp. Correct. From the UK, as most of the best bands ever

[@KeithDCanada]

For me, this song speaks to how we all typically follow the same path.... we all go to school, we all write the exams, we all are taught to play nice together, that we should pursue secondary education, that we will meet someone, create a family.... and live within the guidelines of this world that has been built to contain and conform, while giving the illusion of individuality and inspiration. The lead singer has been told who he is supposed to be for his entire life, and now as a young adult, he is sitting back and realizing that he doesn't even know who he is. "Please tell me who I am" Live your life, just don't live the life that your are being told to live. Create your own, and if that involves defying standards, breaking some rules, and finding your own path sometimes... you will be all the happier for it later in life.

[@hoosiernationsindiana2085]

- 5:15 - You look so shook! That is the power of this song, my dude. It can hit you right between the eyes and pierce your heart at the same moment. All of the Breakfast In America album is worth exploring...brilliant work. Supertramp is a British band. The song itself was written by the singer Roger Hodgson based on his own experience as a kid, having a carefree childhood, but then being sent to boarding school. He learned guitar and started writing songs pretty early in his teens while at boarding school. Often, his songs can be deeply personal and spiritual in their content.

[@richardcramer1604]

Accually most of their hits are from the 70s, the only song from the 80's (1982) that I like a lot is "It's Raining Again", whereas I like most songs off of the following three albums: "Crime of the Century" (1974), "Even in the Quietest Moments" (1977), and "Breakfast in America" (1979).
