This is song has a big middle finger to the government! It was written when bush sr. was in office and years later still relevant when "W" was in office!
@malakas13th The fact that they are just a formulated, insincere, emotionless band. Every song of theirs sounds very similar with a different form of Oooo or Ahhh thrown into the mix. Music is not just formulated art, unless of course you are tasteless steamed cabbage so to speak.
@TheYehcheese its better that u dont go off insulting somebody that u dont know and anyway its normal to have different aspects of the same band, but keep your opinion to yourself.
@Vaq447 since when does opposing fascism make someone left-sided OR a prick? Sure, fascism aligns with right-wing ideology, taking it to an extreme level, but the truth is that most republicans are against fascism and most democrats are against communism. Both of those thing are pretty much only supported by extremists.
-Obama wasn't Pres., neither was George W. Bush,but Thurston's words apply very well to both of those White House war pigs.
Who ever would have guessed Pres. Hope&Change would be as much a war-monger as W. In some ways,Obama's even worse,okaying even more targeted assassinations,usually via drones.So much for innocent till proven guilty,a judicial process,&protecting "collateral" innocents from U.S. drone attacks.
@Bobjb999 Indeed. And don't forget Obama has claimed the legal power to kill without review or appeal anyone he believes (upon good advice of course, how comforting) is guilty of "aiding and supporting terrorism". Bush always presented himself as an unapologetic oligarch. Obama is a traitor to the ideas he espoused. So yes, the song remains very relevant how I wish it weren't.
@Bobjb999 You are right. The country fell into a trap. What hope and change? Well, a war with Libya and a botched healthcare plan, thats are change. Are new theme song. "Wont get fooled again" by the Who
@3077BIODROID Dear government, we are youth against fascism. thanks to your dirty boots and your 100% unfaithfulness, we will no longer be your dog. We won't get fooled again. I'm sure you'll hear all about this in our Teenage riot.
It's so sad that everything encapsulated in "It's the song I hate" has become more and more prominent in society and authority alike in the last twenty years since this song came out. It's too late to reform society. Prepare yourself for the crash so it's not the Mormons in charge of restarting civilization (since they have a lot of stockpiled food and guns even if not as much food as they order their people to keep)
@lordthj Yah, the progressive activists sure have blacklisted dissenting voices and stifled discourse as effectively and pervasively as the network news and the political establishment. Of course. The protestors are just little fascists themselves. What a brilliant insight. Apparently in defiance of all logic and facts, the mainstream agrees with you. Now enjoy your world with no medical care, no pensions, and a future of increasing poverty for everyone who's not "connected". You deserve it
that's bitter sarcasm btw in case you missed it. Your lack of discernment is unexceptional but disheartening all the same. But you're getting what you deserve so there's some justice :)
Last trip I went on, I blasted this song in a real hick town as I peeled out of a restaurant parking lot..lol Best song on the album!
