Iron Fist Lyrics
Standing in the road and it’s rush hour
Wishing I was far from this scene
Standing in the road and I’m freezing
It’s hard to breathe
This morning I was dreaming of angels
Covered in the warmth of their wings
This morning was a different lifetime I’ve come to believe
So now I’m answering a million questions
Racking up my legal fees
Everyone’s assuming I’m guilty
So now I’m watching as my house is raided
Like I’m some sort of terrorist
I thought that they were democratic, not an iron fist
More like an iron fist
Sitting on my couch like a leper
Interrogated sociopath
One hand is resting on their holster the other their staff
In my life I’ve been trained to respect them
Bred only to protect and serve
Now I know that they are paid by the wealthy
The meek won’t be heard
If I become what they had taught me that is wrong
I lose allegiance to the country that I’m born
The country that I am born
I always knew that they would find nothing
No weapons, just a mind of my own
This country was built only on treason
These homes for the slaves
Homes for the slaves
Wishing I was far from this scene
Standing in the road and I’m freezing
It’s hard to breathe
Covered in the warmth of their wings
This morning was a different lifetime I’ve come to believe
Racking up my legal fees
Everyone’s assuming I’m guilty
Like I’m some sort of terrorist
I thought that they were democratic, not an iron fist
More like an iron fist
Interrogated sociopath
One hand is resting on their holster the other their staff
In my life I’ve been trained to respect them
Bred only to protect and serve
Now I know that they are paid by the wealthy
The meek won’t be heard
I lose allegiance to the country that I’m born
The country that I am born
No weapons, just a mind of my own
This country was built only on treason
These homes for the slaves
Homes for the slaves

actually, i'm pretty sure the song is about him. its about how the patriot act is a load of crap. they used it on him months ago. they went in to his house and raided it. since he's a vegan, they thought some animal crap was his fault.
Yeah... elementbr10 is right. I saw that whole thing on Celebrity Justice. Ridiculous what they did to Feldman. A little excessive too considering the circumstances. Great song though.
I read the full story a little while ago. He attened some animals rights rally one day, and smoeone got down his lisence plate number. When some graffitit was found at the sight, they raided his house. Didn't take too much stuff- couple of books and shirts I think- but it was still bullshit.
amazing song, probably my favorite of DN. It's obviously about the war in Iraq, i think its in the point of view of a normal person that lives there, that didn't do anything wrong but soldiers are still breakin into their house and assuming their guilty cuz of where they live.
