Nation To Nation
All The World
Must Come Together
Face The Problems
That We See
Then Maybe Somehow We Can Work It Out
I Asked My Neighbor
For A Favor
She Said Later
What Has Come Of
All The People
Have We Lost Voice
What It's About
I Have To Find My Peace 'Cause
No One Seems To Let Me Be
False Prophets Cry Of Doom
What Are The Possibilities
I Told My Brother
There'll Be Problems,
Times And Tears For Fears,
We Must Live Each Day
Like It's The Last
Go With It
Go With It
Jam
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't Too Much
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
Jam
It Ain't
It Ain't Too Much Stuff
It Ain't
Don't You
It Ain't Too Much For Me To
The World Keeps Changing
Rearranging Minds
And Thoughts
Predictions Fly Of Doom
The Baby Boom
Has Come Of Age
To Work It Out
I Told My Brothers
Don't You Ask Me
For No Favors
I'm Conditioned By
The System
Don't You Talk To Me
Don't Scream And Shout
She Pray To God, To Buddha
Then She Sings A
Talmud Song
Confusions Contradict
The Self
Do We Know Right
From Wrong
I Just Want You To
Recognize Me
In The Temple
You Can't Hurt Me
I Found Peace
Within Myself
Go With It
Go With It
Jam
It Ain't
It Ain't Too Much Stuff

It Ain't Too Much For Me To

Aha, It Ain't

Lyric Analysis
The Jam lyrics connote ordinary people finding their peace in their own interests and talents, as Michael cries 'Nation to Nation', suggesting ordinary people, and 'I have to find my peace cause no one seems to let me be', suggesting to us that Michael feels he has to dance for stability and sanity. Michael also has political references as he digs at the system of brainwashing and 'rearranging' minds, for example, 'The world keeps changing rearranging minds and thoughts predictions', claiming the system gives the world a perception that life should be almost robotic and not original. Michael then mocks his opinion as he said, 'I told my brothers don't you ask me for no favors i'm conditioned by the system don't you talk to me don't scream and shout', connoting brainwashing with the euphemism 'conditioned'. He also makes defensive remarks of him dancing, that he's found his love in his life and he can't be harmed within this love, for instance, 'I just want you to recognize me in the temple you can't hurt me i've found peace within my life', and also connotes a community of love with the religious reference of 'Temple'. He also tries to promote his belief of confidence in individual talents by crying 'It ain't too much for me to Jam', suggesting to the 'Nation' that he has confidence in what he does, so the nation should aswell
