@R3ap3R1981 I think the title refers to how we are looking for scapegoats to start a war i.e. the bearded men are the witches we must hunt them down... (and take their oil)
Nope, the speaking at the beginning of the song is a radio talk show that the lead singer recorded. They chopped it up and rearranged all the words to make it sound the way it does.
Look what I spotted - with the Referral Code JUSTMORE you´ll get a 100% match up to 600 Dollars at Fulltiltpoker com! Couldn´t let that go und already found new friends there. It´s just great to play with free money! Americans welcome!!
Indie doesn't really exist anymore. Now its just a label people give to music which is alternative to mainstream. The word Indie is used to encompass loads of bands who are completely diverse. How can that be right??
I was listening to the song and I thought WOW this video clip is gunna be sooo awesome, and I was th9inking about it all day and I come home and was sorta like... oh :\
Witch hunts are events from hundreds of years ago where anyone suspected of being a witch or being involved in witch craft would be lynched by the public. I think Kele is using the term to reflect todays mistrust and the the hysteria whipped up by the media. "the enemy's among us!" "now is not the time for liberal thoughts" "All reasonable thought is being drowned out by the non-stop baying, baying for blood"
I like the song - great intro riff. The message is good, but the lyrics arent exactly subtle. But then again, neither are the lyrics for Masters of war by Bob Dylan
Totally opinion I suppose. But it's really awesome album (to me). I love every song on there. But, it did take me awhile to like it. But all of a sudden, something just clicked. And I absolutely love it now. I just hope the same for you.
Well, actually I feel yhe same way about their albums- I prefer the second as well. I really like the 4 first songs on the first album- the rest is not really my fav.- but they are not bad at all. Anyway prefer the second album!
Hey this is a pretty good video... but did u no they have a video exclusive? Well they do lol /watch?v=_PbR3ol--RU i uploaded it for all those peeps who dont want to sign up to Marshals

get the concept of the song right ... do some bleeding research on what the song is actually about.... hunting for witches!

goverment, controls what we "see hear and say" ... the pinnacle of whichcraft..lool

One of their only good songs on their new album.
If you haven't listened to Silent Alarm at all. You should.
Listen to it and compare it to their newest one.
And their newest one sounds like shit.
But, I mean, it's alright.
Just don't compare them. Or else it really sucks.
