How Do You?

The lyrics describe a person who is both needy and harmful. He wants love, belonging, and attention, yet the speaker portrays him as bitter, prejudiced, dishonest, and bullying. This creates a tense emotional movement: the song briefly recognizes his desire to connect, then emphasizes the damage he causes. The repeated question, “How do you?”, sounds like an expression of frustration or disbelief rather than a request for a clear answer.

The image of a “stupid baby” becoming a “powerful freak” suggests a disturbing change from helplessness to influence, though the wording is deliberately insulting and may reflect the speaker’s anger. Wanting others to “weep” could mean he seeks sympathy or wants to control their emotions. The contrast between calling him dangerous and still showing him respect points to a gap between what people know about him and how they treat him.

The speaker’s accusations are sharp, but the lyrics do not explain the full situation or offer the man’s perspective. His wish to belong might invite some sympathy, while his bullying and cheating make that sympathy difficult. The final question could mean “How can you behave this way?” or “How should we deal with someone like this?” Its repetition leaves the speaker’s response unresolved.
