| R.E.M. – Until The Day Is Done Lyrics | 17 years ago |
| "Forgive us our trespasses, father and son" - while could simply be a prayer on behalf of America, could certainly be a reference to GHWB and GWB administrations and their horrible decisions to wage war with Iraq.... | |

While the song certainly is related to the Bush Administration, I believe the song is actually about the media and what Michael believes has been its pandering to Bush. "You disappear midsentence in a judgment crisis . . . you weakened shill" makes it most clear to me - as if the only thing worse than the Bush Administration are those who promote it. The American public are the "sad and lost apostles" that are "choking on the bones" tossed to them by the media, little sound bites and talking points that unfortunately shape the opinions of millions. Just my two cents. |
