"Gideon, what have you told us at all? Make a sound, come down off the wall. Religion- should appeal to the hearts of the young Who are you? What have you become?" Gideon was sent by God to free the people Isreal and to condemn their idols. In this instance, George W. Bush is Gideon (since Bush is devout christian) and it's insinuated that he's told nothing but lies to the American people about his real reasons for invading Iraq. "Make a sound, come down off the wall" is telling the American people to quit being Wallflowers and speak up. "You animal. Come on What does this remind you of? Truly, truly we have become Hated and feared for something that we don't want Listen, listen. Most of us believe that this is wrong You animal. Come on What does this remind you of? What does this remind you of? Animal. Come on. What does this remind you of? Animal. Come on." This last part has to do with the Iraq invasion and "What does this remind you of?" probably has to do with the bullshit invasion his father pulled in the 90's. |
