Song Topic[]

The song is about Halloween (Dead Kennedys formed in San Francisco where Halloween is a large celebration) and questions why people don't celebrate it every day. Halloween says that people are too shy to express themselves that way on a daily basis because of what people might say; as shown in the line "People out on the street, they might glare at you."
