It is not literal.. He is being sarcastic and resentfull in the lyrics. When he sings about only killing for our leaders it's him being resentfull towards the fact that our nation makes people fight in wars. The military and the media and then goverment strike fear in Americans so they fight wars politicians start. When he sings about going to church and tithe he is being sarcastic to that fact that he is a drone like americans. How he goes to church and prays and pays dues. Also when he sings about going to work in a suite and tie meaning he is a drone with work as well as other americans. He also compares the facts of being a civilian drone and not killing compared to the same person in the military killing. It's all the same... |

| Radiohead – Kid A Lyrics

I personally feel the song is about Thom as a kid who begins those years in every persons life where a different life style comes into play. It's about him, but it's about me.... It's about everyone using himself as an example..The entire song is defined in the first 2 lines "I slipped away, I slipped on a little white lie" This is the first time when kids try something new/bad... It could be drugs, crime, lies, or just breaking the rules. The first lie to yourself is tiny but leads to a much different life. Convincing yourself one ciggeratte wont hurt can lead to a pack a day which could lead to anything from there. |
