The part that says Look at me Look at me Driving and I won't stop And it feels so good to be Alive and on top My reach is global My tower secure My cause is noble My power is pure I can hand out a million vaccinations Or let'em all die in exasperation Have'em all grilled leavin lacerations Have'em all killed by assassination I can make anybody go to prison Just because I don't like'em and I can do anything with no permission I have it all under my command I can guide a missile by satellite By satellite By satellite and I can hit a target through a telescope Through a telescope Through a telescope and I can end the planet in a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust In a holocaust and the part "I can lead a nation with a microphone" sounds like The Flobots are trying to show us what can happen when someone becomes 'All powerful' or believes in their 'noble cause' so much that they'll do anything to achieve what they think is right, or do anything for 'the greater good,' no matter what that entitles. I think the song's basically about how easily amazing leaders can turn 'evil' through power and arrogance. |
