Genesis – Blood On The Rooftops Lyrics 16 years ago
This song is about the way that the British (or indeed many people) would rather do anything but learn of the news, or simply, reality. The references to Batman, Tarzan etc are an ironic stab at how we would rather watch these fictional and ultimately facile shows rather than get to grips with the reality...e.g. the Blood On The Rooftops, or the 'Arabs and the Jews'. It is a social commentary on our state of self-imposed ignorance.

MGMT – Time to Pretend Lyrics 16 years ago
this is simply an ironic look at the stereotypical rockstar life style. It mocks its empty and loveless nature. It highlights its pretensions with the line 'we were fated to pretend'. It is not saying that this lifestyle is good in any way. It is similar in its message to 'Rock Star' by Nickelback, except in this case the song is actually good.
