It was inspired by the Hobbit and LOTR series.. and seeing as he says "ramble on, its time for me to go, got to sing my song, got to find that girl." as well other lyrics. its clearly a tribute to Ramblin Man by the The Allman Brothers- Ramblin Man Ramblin' Man A man who is always on the move, travelling constantly, wherever life may take him, Also possessing a strong affinity for women but is too much of a restless soul to settle down; therefore, he often breaks hearts. His own as much as the women he is with. |

I dont think it has to do with being famous. But rather just improving your self and being all that you can be.(nevermind the army quote) most of that represents normal day people and their actions. |

It seems clear to me that the song is about the monetary system. Banks and stock market to be more specific. but their are other references in the song that i notice. Their is no gold standard. The value of the US Dollar(and any other) is measured in the worlds FAITH in it. According to the Board of Governors, the Federal Reserve is independent within government in that "its decisions do not have to be ratified by the President or anyone else in the executive or legislative branch of government." However, its authority is derived from the U.S. Congress and is subject to congressional oversight. Additionally, the members of the Board of Governors, including its chairman and vice-chairman, are chosen by the President and confirmed by Congress Then once you start to understand how banks operate, this song becomes clear, aswell as most of the problems in our economy. The FED buys $10,000 in government securities from an authorized dealer and instructs the designated bank to credit $10,000 to the dealer's account in exchange for an increase of $10,000 in the bank's federal reserve balance. With a ten percent reserve ratio, $1,000 is isolated and the other $9,000 is made available as the basis for new loans. 2. This $9,000 is loaned out to business A, who immediately deposits it back into the bank. This $9,000 is another addition to the bank's reserve balance. Ten percent, or $900, is isolated and $8100 remains as the basis for new loans. 3. The process continues until all excess reserves are loaned out. With a ten percent requirement, $10,000 can support $90,000 in expansion of bank credit and $100,000 of deposit expansion. The above is admittedly a simplification, but it is one contained in the FED's own publication (pg 6-8) and believed by the FED to be an accurate representation of the current system. In effect the FED has the power to create money through nothing more than an electronic bookkeeping entry. Whether the initial injection stays with the same bank, as is assumed above, or whether it changes hands, is irrelevant; our banking system is almost the same as the templar knights and cause the french king to be in much debt so he accused them of certain actions and slaughter. wether they did certain actions or not. he was still in a great deal of debt and was not happy. XD We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. THOMAS JEFFERSON, letter to Samuel Kerchevel, Jul. 12, 1816 I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs. Thomas Jefferson, (Attributed) 3rd president of US (1743 - 1826) banks cause us to be in constant debt and dictate the world. |
