He's saying the idea that aliens, or freemasons, or gods, or demons or whatever your conspiracy theory is that keeps you so afraid to get up and change things, is a big ole lie. Believe in the (LIE), Believe in the (BIG EYEBALL IN THE SKY). Either way, both are lies. Rich people have more political sway than you, it's always been that way. They will use lies like religion, aliens, lizardmen, and even scary occult freemason bullshit to pacify you through fear. So far, it works on Americans.
In addition you all are too lazy to read up on history or science so they can pretty much tell you anything and you will believe it because you don;t know any better. Apathy is the new evolution.
I agree that theres meaning in this song as well. You got to think out side of your delicate cardbord box world, & accept the fluid for what it could be. Makes perfect sense to me,lol.
@DJMiniBurnie No,he just employs his rainbow bass a.k.a The Beast! (a 6 string bass) and he is sliding the shit out of the main riff. Its a fretless a 10,000$ fretless
From Zappa's "I Am The Slime" to this; at least funky, musically intelligent socio-political commentary continues to thrust its noodly appendages above the waves over the years... thanks C2B3!
Also, if it was about government takeover I do not think it would be talking about Cosmo, Calvin Klein, or soaps, or anything of that nature. That's why I think it has to do with media, not really government. Or if he was trying to make it like the government was using media to control people, I think he would of made that relationship clear.
Dude, you're in denial. NWO is real, and this is what he is talking about. Media control of the brainwashed masses. It's a tool, just like government is a tool.
The true nwo are internationalist bankers, not the government.
Ya, just cause if you're trying to make a point even if your argument is valid and sound people will always be like "I don't want to take that from a guy who can't spell (insert your word of choice)". People get caught up in the minor details like spelling and grammar just so they don't have to deal with the argument, which is ridiculous. And I'm actually pretty relaxed and easygoing but you can't tell from my comments, haha.
It could be that, but It seems to be more about the media. I think it's about the affect that culture has on your perspective and self-worth. So the eye could be the Eye of God, the eye of a satellite or the eyes of peers and elders alike.
I believe that the plan is to take the top 10% of the wealthiest individuals in the world and erase from existence the rest of the population. This is outlined in the Georgia guidestones, and is reflected in the capitalist formula for posession of wealth in the united states. The top 1% of the american population has more than the bottom 90% combined. the poor are put in place to remind the middle class not to step out of line. The top 1% can watch the rest of the population gladiator style.
It actually goes a lot deeper than that. Go look up Illuminati, New World Order, and 33rd degree Freemasons. Also research the Bohemian Grove, MKULTRA, back-engineered alien technology, Anunaki, Alex Jones, and David Icke. But, you have it a lot more right than mister "This is about how our peers perceieve us" up there. -Points at newer comments.-
@Panasper Don't think for a second claypool doesn't know what he's talking about, you can come up with your own interpretation but I thinks it's pretty obvious what he's talking about.
@parsleysprigs im a huge fan of claypool, and, of course primus. Probably one of the most underrated prog metal bands IMO... and yes, i know he knows what he's talking about. Great songwriter, great lyrics, great music....
love the song love the video, just don't use Gorillaz clips. surely you could have found something better use during those scenes. it's very unoriginal.
the illuminati is real, but they arent magic

That sounds more logical. Les Claypool doesn't really seem like much of an athiest to me.

It's about the New World Order and the Illuminati. Go research it.
