  • legendary song. awesome effects on the video.

  • For anyone who is confused by the title or content of this song, it is a tongue-in-cheek reference to "let them eat cake" which was the response of a princess when she heard that the peasants had no more bread. She was oblivious to the problem of famine. You can't take these lyrics at face value. This doesn't need to be explained if you know the politics of Bad Religion and Sage Francis but apparently some people need context. So there you go. Let them eat war.

  • RON PAUL 2012!!!

  • @strangefamousrecords wow, did anyone actually think this wasnt sarcasm? idiots.

  • @Ariuq94 Further evidence can be found on page 17 of Paul Johnson's book Intellectuals. published by New York: Harper & Row. And it seems I was wrong, it wasn't a jealous noble, it was just a noble who is believed to have made the entire story up in his autobiography. Sorry, I haven't read the book for a while. XD

  • @strangefamousrecords Actually... Marie Antoinette, The princess you are referencing actually never said that... This song is talking about the general idea of feeding the people something that won't help. But Marie never said it, it was a rumor spread by a jealous noble. 

  • these guys remind me of Three dawg of fallout,FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT

  • @Punkid41 1) try and spell your name right. It is Punk Kid 41. 2) you called him a 16 yr old punk kid. A) So what if he is. He has a right to voice his opinions and they were a damn sight clearer and more valid than yours. B) your screen name is punkid41 so essentially what you have done there is insulted yourself. 3) Please do enlighten us, What is the Big, Big, Big Picture? I am guessing it is of your mothers arse. Thankyou and good night.
