hoorah for america! | Reviewer: Nate | 10/8/08
This song rocks my FACE OFF! I love it, listen to it, and even sing it...however, I don't agree with the lyrics... It sounds like they are attacking Bush and America, but we are the best country in the whole fucking world, and all these whiny bitches bitching about the government can go to Mexico or Iran or Columbia or Venezuela or the 85% of the African countries.... People that complain about our government have no sense. Ask any kid in another country I bet they'll tell you they dream of coming to America where we are free and have potential to make a wonderful life, this is the best place in the world and if you don't like it, leave. I raise my fist to you holyyakker!
wtf | Reviewer: notname | 9/8/08
this song is amazing, however many people are blinded by their nacionalist views i mean yeah there's a lot of positive things of the us, but there a lot that are negative, but is not just about us, look to mexico, flooded with narcos and drugs that children are even affected and kidnapped just because people needs money because all the goverment steals the 50% of our salaries and i'm mexican and that's no reason why i hate mexico, i mean i love mexico's culture and the people but we're so ...ing deep in violence and corruption we are getting doomed. let's forget mexico and focus on muse can talk/sing about anyone because at least there should be a little of freedom in our world
Just wow... | Reviewer: Chris | 9/8/08
@ all Yankee-centrics:
This is a generic, yet wonderfully concise tirade about the state of many governments... What makes you think that it's about the US more than the UK, Russia, S. Africa, or any other country? There is not a single shred in the lyrics that state an anti-US stance. FYI - The band is from the UK where in the last several years personal freedoms have eroded as much as or more than in the States. Sad but true.

great song, from a great band. don't like it, don't listen to it, but don't lecture us.

>> which is Music, not philosophy
depends on the definition of music, my friend. Music can also be your medium for philosophy.
Bertolt Brecht would have kicked your ass if you had told him to go on writing nice plays and leave out philosophy and politics ;).
He said that a play or any piece of literature (=>arts) must have a use(=> philosophical/political message) besides amusement
It's all relative... so plz stop objectifying your views

What a Waste of Musical Talent | Reviewer: Joe | 3/5/08
I like MUSE a lot. I find their melodrama amusing and their instrumentals eerie and skillfully played. I liked this song until I started noticing the lyrics; unfortunately they ruin an otherwise cool song. Yet another collection of trite, vague, and repetitive accusations and demonizing from a band which, like many citizens, likely has no useful frame of reference or clue as to what actually goes on in the world. Crimes against the Earth? Give me a break. More hate-mongering from a collective of people who should put their skills (which is Music, not philosophy) to better use.
Heh | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/26/08
I'm a Russian-American living in Russia. I can easily apply this song to the Russian govt and the situation in Russia as well :)) I think whatever meaning we see in this song, it won't be wrong but not necessarily the meaning Muse attached to it.
Any rate, they have a right to express their political views and we have a right to not listen to them if we don't agree.
Idiocy | Reviewer: holyyakker@gmail.com | 1/20/08
This is mostly a response to the moron's who feel the net impact of the US on the world has been negative. 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. France's own revolution was modeled after the US revolution. The Unification of Germany, the modern industrialization of Japan, the billions spent in foreign aid to Africa.
Get a clue.
It's About the GOVERNMENT, Dearies | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/13/08
I'd just like to put a word in edgewise here...
I'm an American, and I happen to love this song. I'm not offended by it because I don't agree with the decisions of our government at the moment; this song is aimed at THEM, not the citzens...or at least not the citizens who are aware of the steady plunge we're taking. ("Cast a spell on the country you run...")
If that's what's getting some of you in a tiffy, may your rain cloud be cleared. :)
