The song "There's a Price On Your Head" by Enter Shikari discusses social class and the consequences it has on individuals. The lyrics highlight the different classes in society: upper class, upper middle class, lower class, and lower middle class. The repetition of "I am upper class" and "I am lower class" emphasizes the separation and division between these social classes. The line "I am living in the past" suggests that these divisions are outdated and restrict individuals from progressing. The chorus, "Yeah! There's a price on your head, Unknown to you," suggests that regardless of social class, everyone faces challenges and pressures in society. The phrase "price on your head" symbolizes the burdens and expectations placed upon individuals. The line "There's a fucking price on your head" demonstrates frustration and anger towards the societal structures that create these divisions and expectations. It represents a desire for change and a resistance against the constraints imposed by class systems. The final line, "We must have structure Mr. Reynolds," implies that the song's protagonist recognizes the need for some form of social structure but questions its fairness and the negative impact it has on individuals. They call for a reevaluation and healing of the scars caused by the rigid class divisions. Overall, "There's a Price On Your Head" raises awareness about social class distinctions, challenges their relevance, and encourages individuals to question and challenge these societal norms.
