There are so many brilliant lines in this song. Steinman at his witty, biting best. My favourite line is "If you don't worry about the future sooner or later it's the past" because I just think it is so true and so frankly honest. But there are many many other great lines in there too.
This song - and the general 'feel' of Bat II - is, I think (or at least it is to me), a big "f**k you". It's arrogant and in yer face. The character from Bat has grown older and wiser, and he doesn't like it. He's telling us we can stick the future where the sun don't shine and how he knows he'll "never be politically correct" and doesn't give a damn. That's just my opinion - I guess that's the great thing about these songs; everyone attaches their own meaning to them - but it's what I love about this song especially.
I also think the title is very Meat Loaf/Steinman. Everything Louder Than Everything Else; doesn't that just sum them up perfectly?!
