Weekend's Wildcard - Shout by Tears for Fears

This Weekend's Wildcard is Shout by Tear for Fears. This is off of their 1985 album Songs from the Big Chair. This song was also covered by Disturbed on their debut album.

Song meaning straight from the horses' mouth:
"A lot of people think that 'Shout' is just another song about primal scream theory, continuing the themes of the first album. It is actually more concerned with political protest. It came out in 1984 when a lot of people were still worried about the aftermath of The Cold War and it was basically an encouragement to protest." ~Roland Orzabal

"It concerns protest inasmuch as it encourages people not to do things without actually questioning them. People act without thinking because that's just the way things go in society. So it's a general song, about the way the public accepts any old grief which is thrown at them." ~Curt Smith
