Arkells frontman Max just hopped on genius.com and added a bunch of annotations to the lyrics for their new song Private School.

He explains the motivation of writing a catchy song with deeper lyrics”

Musically, the song is pretty playful and kinda simple, and I like the juxtaposition between music and words. The Clash is able to pull off this kind of union in a lot of their songs. Ultimately, I think shirtless bro’s at Lollapoolaza are gonna dig it too, and I like the idea of sneaking in some social commentary right under the loud drums, hip-hop bass bass, and banging piano. And that’s dope.
