| Kings of Convenience – Rule My World Lyrics | 12 years ago |
| Not just George Bush -- but the United States generally. Who else but the United States has purported to "rule the world"? "I talk before I think" -- probably a reference to Europe and its tendency to criticize, sometimes indiscriminately. "You shoot before you know who's in your line of fire" -- perhaps a reference to the U.S. and its indiscriminate bombings, its drone strikes, killing civilians. The song ends: "Explain to me one more time/When they kill it's a crime/When you kill it is justice." This could be interpreted as criticism of warfare, or, perhaps, of capital punishment in the United States. | |
