| Considering the fact that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was the latest person (to my knowledge) to "deny" that there ever was a holocaust, it wouldn't be that far off to say that this song is about him. He's the President of the Islamic Repulic of Iran and was recently "re-elected" which stirred up a lot of unrest in the country due to thoughts that he probably rigged the election so he could remain in power, ie "another Hitler using fear to control." This man has made plenty of threatening statements towards Judaism. Look at his speech he made at the "World without Zionism" conference in Tehran. Once again, "another Hitler using fear to control." This man is more dangerous than most people give him credit, and since Iran is scrambling to gather up nuclear arms and trying to ready the middle east (mainly directed toward Egypt) for war with Israel, I think its a pretty fair statement to say this man is another Hitler. Genocide is still genocide, whether in action, thought, or speech, and if people continue to ignore radical men like Ahmadinejad just as many people ignored Hitler at first, the hope that the holocaust would never happen again has a pretty slim chance of succeeding. | |

Actually, I think there is a lot more in there than just a lazy generation. In my opinion I think this is talking more about how many people in society rely on government for their own happiness. This song talks a lot about being one's own person, creating a "happy home" on your own. "This common place is so lazy old and tired... how many times have you taught and not conspired?" This sounds pretty direct towards people who believe in reliance on the government, like left-minded politicians regardless of their party, and how its not only a lazy and generally unfruitful way of living, but also how those who promote bigger government are conspiring, or possibly brainwashing, and not actually teaching in order to get their way. Also, if we look at the part where M Shadows says "Why don't I have the finer things that others have? The chance is there if you want it all that bad" that has a very capitalistic point of view to it. People complain that they don't have the things that others have, but if they really wanted it, they could take the opportunities given to them every day to gain those things through their individual labor. "We'll fight this battle for years to come til we accept that we can all stand on our own" is another example of learning the lesson that your own individual labor is the best way to live, it brings more happiness than the government can by handing you things. Then, I see obviously at the end how this generation is the lazy generation, the generation that has no one to fight and is bored. |
