it's not it's, it's its.

[KingCrimson776]

lol, England is even more fucked up than America... has been for a while. these guys are dipshits

[ThatStrangeDude]

America... FUCK YEAH!

[digitalceo95]

lol! they UNDERSTOOD!

[jameyinegypt]

End part is early Queen, play it next to their material and it is equally as good.

[alternativepal]

honestly, looking back to the last two years, the whole world falls apart.

[ChaChaHancho]

This song is so fuckin catchy.

[fuckamericanidiot]

you could say it's been done before with all the post punk bands that influenced this album: Magazine, Joy Division, PiL, etc; but this time there's a fucking cracking vocalist behind the mic, makes all the difference. I love this album so much.

[lalo6437]

This would be the perfect soundtrack for a Palin speech

[Roguest0]

thumbs up u just wrote random words and found this vid

[Spankabuttux]

@Roguest0 I ALWAYS 'thumbs down' a request for a 'thumbs up', it's my policy, and, I hope, the policy of others, as asking for a thumbs up is sad, needy and proof that the asker has a belief that their post is somehow superior to all others.

Six people are not friends with Tipper Gore.

[kevincarter2020]

Tipper Gore is a friend of mine

[kikibooboos]

A quote from Lenny Bruce I believe. In my top 5 albums ever.

[WOCFOD]

"The most important question we need to ask ourselves is this: 'Is our children learning?' " - GEORGE W BUSH -

[iamjoshandyouaredaft]

6 people are white Americans

[jameyinegypt]

Yet your moral's only run as deep as the surface! sounding like a sergeant Major shouting at his soldier's. I miss the pissed off Bradfield day's..

[xfearbeforexx]

Who would give this song a thumbs down? Total brilliance.

[jameyinegypt]

2:49 is early Queen influence , even James sound's like Mercury when singing fuck the brady bill part.

[fred12345ization]

manics best song :P

[SPlistener]

Why is it 'it's'? Satirizing American's education system/s?

[MassiveMarket]

@SPlistener Or maybe their grammar wasn't all that great.

[daddyfatsaxohten]

@SPlistener no, i think they meant for it to be read as America's perception of THEIR world. "It's world" is a fair way of looking at America as its how they view the world... they can't see past their borders and when they do its only for financial gain. I like to think of the title as deliberate

[fierymrjingles]

im just a patsy !

[drunkenstooge]

Great tune, but I fucking hate politics (left or right).

[lulwut13]

@drunkenstooge i'm not sure if that's better or worse than being a republican

[Leekduck]

Why do I always imagine the fat guy in the album cover singing this song

[HelpMyNamesTaken]

@Leekduck Pretty sure that's a woman....hence the bra.

[Leekduck]

@HelpMyNamesTaken IN AMERICA!...

[DarylJCheetham]

@yeahhmovelikethat yes he was.

[WHOBYFIRE333]

They are awesome love all their songs

[BRANDNEWNIGHTMARES]

This album is indeed The Holy Bible....!!!!

[Dyler]

@BRANDNEWNIGHTMARES Hmm let's see.

Written years ago but still relevant: Check

Provides the light of truth: Check

The last words of a dying prophet: Check

Yeah, that theory checks out. It's more of a Holy Bible than the actual one.

[riw1989]

@Dyler Totally agree with that! Wire and Edwards have been scarily good with their predictions in songs when you think about it. Wire always says that they used to get the piss taken out of them for 'nat-west, barclays, midlands, lloyds' at their early gigs and then it became relevant with the credit crunch.

Obviously, this song sticks out with wikileaks trying to keep Julien Assange quiet through their own means. Everyone can see it happening.

[loafpork]

@riw1989 Wikileaks is a government operation they're going to use as a scapegoat to further clamp down on the internet. Assange is a patsy, .. there was no useful information in that last big document leak, nothing people didn't know already. Why do you think the media is giving wikileaks so much attention? Because it's a psy-op, that's why.

[SelfHatingWhite]

@loafpork

you really think wikileaks is a honeypot?

[loafpork]

@SelfHatingWhite Yes, I do.

[WhimsicalQuandary]

@loafpork

Except stuff like American PMCs selling children into sex slavery and America spying on UN officials.

[sixty5999]

@loafpork Don't you think you are a tad paranoid?

[HyenaOwnersClub]

They're so great. They knew the secret of rock songs like not many other bands in their day and age

[EllaEyeore]

this song is amazing<3

[wandereragro]

If White America Told The Truth For One Day Its Financial Markets Would Tear Apart.

[warriorprince1010]

@wandereragro The UK and EU as a whole is in a worst position.  Brown is deliberately bankrupting the UK.

[spagbog1q2w]

@warriorprince1010 i agree with you - i think gordon brown is. get in such a deficit that there's no chance we will ever be able to pay it back and then the solution will be we need to join a european currency or a world currency which the banks will be in control of.

[SmokesomeJoseph]

@spagbog1q2w

[mickc14]

@wandereragro explain please.

[Josephkeehner93]

@mickc14 Financial markets are pretty much some one saying the stock should be like worth a lot, when it is either worthless or worth more. Housing bubble is a prime example of a lie getting out of hand

[NottMacRuairi]

@wandereragro yeah and now everyone wishes they hadn't.

[fierymrjingles]

the holy bible is the best album ever , not second or third , but the first , the best album ever

[Negrul1]

Everything Must Go is better.

[fierymrjingles]

i think your wrong lol but its your opinion there both great albums.

[bretikur]

I normally don't like Manics that much... But damn it. I have to agree.

[heroiniskindacool]

@fierymrjingles It's good, but not zen arcade/trout mask replica good.

[fat8622]

@fierymrjingles Trout Mask Replica and Black Saint and the Sinner Lady would like to disagree with that statement

[Messylin]

@fierymrjingles - there's no such thing as 'best album' ever. One person alone is certainly not qualified to make such a judgement.

[GelGsound]

@Messylin FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT!

[fierymrjingles]

this full album is so politcally incorrect its fukin brilliant , its so appropriate these days its unreal.

[christianalexlea]

awesome song but i wonder why they put an apostrophe there?

[JipushiLeviathan]

...That is a good question. :3

Maybe they're just being ironic? :P

Who knows.

[sleepflower92]

I think it's designed to annoy, more than anything else. I guess it works.

[paranoidandroid192]

@christianalexlea Apparently it was first put in as a mistake but then it was left in to see if anyone would notice or care.

[4st5lbs]

love

[BeckyBothways]

actually that's a woman on that album cover..

=/

I love this album.. it's the manics 2nd best

the first being 'everything must go' ^^

LONG LIVE THE MANICS!!!

I love 'em all

Xx.

[gpx44]

that guy needs to do some sit ups 'er

somthin.... (putting down Home Run Pie)

[M0MM4M0U53]

LOVE this track! Thank you for taking the time to upload it :)

[jjmpsp]

What a long title
