| Flobots – There's A War Going On For Your Mind Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
When the flobots say, "Professional wrestlers and vice presidents want you to believe them" I believe they are making a comparison between the two, saying that a vice president, (or generally someone in office) is someone that puts on an act, a facade or alter ego, to make you believe that they're someone they're not. It's like theater, except the outcome is the next war. The lines below further illustrate how a facade is in effect. "Pay no attention to the man behind the barbed curtain" In the wizard of oz, the wizard hid behind that curtain to assume a more ominous and powerful role, such as professional wrestlers and government officials. I suppose the "barbed" aspect could mean that he locks this real person he is deep inside, that he wants to keep others out, it could have also meant that performing for an audience has caused his inner person to turn hostile, but I can only speculate on that aspect. |
