Bossman

Chris Boomer's song 'Bossman' is a powerful critique of the systems of power and authority that govern our world. The lyrics delve into the hypocrisy and corruption of leaders who manipulate and deceive to maintain control. Boomer questions the morality of those in power, asking who is truly responsible for the decisions that lead to conflict and suffering. The repeated inquiry, 'Who is the bossman of this system?' underscores a sense of frustration and bewilderment at the senselessness of war and violence.

The song also touches on the theme of unity and peace, urging listeners to seize opportunities to promote love and harmony across the globe. Boomer contrasts the ideal of global unity with the harsh reality of leaders who perpetuate division and conflict. The line 'When you see a window to fight for peace and unity, do you ignore it or do you explore it and spread one love?' challenges individuals to take action and make a positive impact, rather than passively accepting the status quo.

Furthermore, 'Bossman' highlights the tragic irony of men fighting for freedom with weapons, a situation that Boomer finds nonsensical. The lyrics 'That puts guns in the hands of men who fight to be free, this makes no sense to me' reflect a deep disillusionment with the idea that violence can lead to liberation. Boomer emphasizes the importance of living in the present and questions the logic of sacrificing one's life for a future that is uncertain. The song is a call to critically examine the systems of power and to strive for a world where peace and unity prevail over conflict and division.
