i'll just re-print my analysis I made when the tune first came out:

Meh, decent tune - typical CD tight production, hella anthemy, catchy chorus, the synth stabs are kinda cheesy but I like it. It'll get the kids pumping their fists and barking and waving lighters or some such.
However...
It's the friggen lyrics that really get to me.
Lets take a look:
don't tell me what to do
and who the fuck are you
ok yea... whatever. Appeals to the teen-angst scene and all... jungle kids seem to be getting younger and younger nowadays anyway (as evidenced by the last dieselboy show)... who know's maybe dnb is becoming the next metal/grunge/industrial/whatever it is that teenagers listen to to piss off their parents music in NZ
don't tell me what to play
i'll say what I will say
Right that's fine. Junglists are constantly trying to claim some sort of taste elitism in music or some shit and all so yea - it fits with the whole theme of teen-angst anthem or something
don't tell me how to live (i think - can't really make it out)
or what the fuck to wear
yea yea more of the same old, same old. I'm beginning to think Tiki is a 14 year old boy writing in his journal about how much he hates his parents... ah misunderstood youth.
i got my own ideas
and i don't give a care
ok wait one sec... i don't give a care??? What the fuck is this, grade school? I haven't heard the line "I don't give a care" since I was in like kindergarden - back when we were told that "damn" was a swear word. Couldn't he have come up with anything better? I mean hell, even if he said "I don't give a damn" or something it would work better - rhymes about as well a "ideas" and "care" (which is not at all). The lyrics as a whole are cheesy enough without having to include some taunt a 6-year old girl would say in a playground during recess. yeesh.
"I don't give a care" indeed...
Anyway, I just had to get that off my chest. Hopefully an instrumental will be released or something...
-rant off

I think who ever wrote those lirycs was trying to rhyme care with wear... which does rhyme...
P.S
I agree with everything else in this post exept the highlighted.
