Leaders, beware. | Reviewer: Q. | 2/8/09
This song hits the mark. It shows precisely where we are today, and still were 50 years back, and no one even realizes it, nobody's connecting the dots anymore.
As for the rest of you naive fools, it's time to wake up.
How the fuck can you be so simple-minded?
Don't you question anything? Do you believe everything you hear? That you're supposed to hear? The things you see on the tube, do you honestly think THAT is the reality we are living in? You dress like the tube, you eat like the tube tells you to, you talk like the tube.
All the while, you are daily brainwashed to believe that what you see there is your reality. Well, I've got news for you! It is what YOU feel, what YOU experience, what YOU do that is the reality, not in the fucking TV for christ's sake.
THINK for yourselves. They've got you in this spell, this hex, this trance, so that you don't feel anymore, so that you don't think for yourselves, because they are the ones telling you what to think, what to feel, what to believe.
WAKE UP.
Absolutely, positively dead-on. | Reviewer: Hyaena | 1/11/09
I love my country so much that hearing evening colors, as played by bugle in the United States Navy, moves me to tears. I served my country for five good years--the best years of my life. I would have served twenty, but I got injured during a storm at sea, and the Navy and I had to part company. I live with the broken heart... and am still a patriot to the very core of my being.
And I hate President George W. Bush just as intensely. He was a mistake; he is a war criminal and an embarrassment to the nation I love. I would render the ultimate insult: I would stand and turn my back while he was speaking, were I to attend any function at which he would do so.
And, were he to ask why, I would tell him... using some of the lovely language I learned in the Navy.
a question... | Reviewer: N. N | 1/9/09
ffs, all you people going on about bush wanting to "stop terrorists"
WHAT THE HELL DID IRAQ HAVE TO DO WITH SEPT 11TH?
PLEASE explain to me.
do you think that destroying a country got RID of lots of people with terrorist ideology or created a ton more angry, disillusioned people?
a country is a piece of land, nature could take that piece of land away from you any moment. it means NOTHING. your patriotism is PATHETIC.
plz read a book, you ignorant american fools.
hmm... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/17/08
I'm a very proud American...not sure who this is about because with all going on in the world, and that has ever gone on, it could really be anyone. I suppose if I were just to guess, it would be someone who would have affected them more than someone from another country...tony blair perhaps? I don't know why I'm even trying to figure it out...usually the most brilliant lyrics are about nothing and just happen to sound good haha
haaa | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/30/08
Freedom, you don't know what freedom is. You never know whats going on in your country, you don't see what the whole world see what's going on in your country. American are mostly the most stypid people on the earth!!
I don't live in the beast country but I really know what freedom means!
Greetings from Argentina!
It could be lots of people. . . . | Reviewer: terry | 11/29/08
Think about it - - the lyrics could apply to any number of leaders - - My first impression was Hitler, but it would also apply to Saddam Heussien (no, I don't know how to spell it correctly, but you know who I mean, right?), Osama Bin Laden, etc, etc. Take your pick, but remember the sad fact that there are several people it could apply to, and that's the saddest part of the song!
Dead on | Reviewer: Allen | 11/14/08
I don't see anything specific about this song, and it does seem like a generic attack on irresponsible world leaders. And as they are english, it would probably be more towards Blair than Bush.
But, as a proud American, I can say that if this is a critical attack on the Bush Administration, it is dead-on. Every single piece of it. I love my country and think we are a great nation. And that is exactly why I have been embarrassed and disgusted with the president over the last 8 years.
And, I definitely don't see any attack on a country at all, in the lyrics. It is pretty clearly aimed at the government leaders. And there is a HUGE difference between "America" and Bush/Cheney. The American people are the victims, not the criminals (unless you count people who voted bush in '04 j/k).
I really wonder how many people who still defend Bush have lived much of their teenage/adult life with any other president. I feel they must not know better and want to defend their country. Which is great. But again, president does not = country. And Bush is a hundred times worse than Clinton, Bush Sr. or Reagan ever where.
Great Song! | Reviewer: Francisco | 11/3/08
Nate:
you say the US is the best place to live, well, you could be right, but when someone atacks US's government, says that they destroy countries but, obviously, they don't destroy their own country, it'd be madness, could you imagine, Bush sending a missile to L.A. ?
"America" (Coz the continent it's America, it shouldn't be only one country) could be the best place to live, but it's because they destroy others so, there aren't too many options and because of this, the economy is much better (Now it isn't but an year ago it was the best economy it existed)
Finally, I personally love this song, apart from having very shocking lyrics, the music it's great, perfect for ending the show in Wembley ;)

"I am not going to say that bad shit hasn't happened under the US's watch, but historically the are responsible for more freedoms and more positive than they are negatives."
tell that to the native americans... if you can find one.
"the modern industrialization of Japan..."
they only modernized initially because they were afraid of getting devoured like so many other countries during the ages of colonialism and imperialism.
also, we (the US) committed quite possibly the single most grievous crime against humanity in history at hiroshima and nagasaki... tens of thousands of people vaporized in an instant
"the billions spent in foreign aid to Africa"
they wouldn't need aid today if we and Europe hadn't obliterated their continent's infrastructure.
that said, there is nothing in the song to direct it explicitly towards the united states, and i think it can apply to a good many governments. but it's interesting how quickly you identified these qualities with your own country.
as to the song, i like it. sounds cool, and it means as much as a song needs to.
Politics | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/24/08
The whole album is supposed to be about politics and demonocracy.Especially Assassin, Exo-Poltics and Take a bow.Its not about anything in particular, but as they're british i assume its about Britain.
