President Lyrics

They pull our strings
The animals
They blind, they breed the hate
Under their wing
We’re scientists
We swallow what they think

For all you lonely boys
I will be president
In all you sons of men
I can be accident

Most fall in line
They do the dance
And salute the safest thing
Bought with their lives
Cry and socialize
And throw all the beauty away

For all you lonely boys
I will be president
In all you sons of men
I can be accident

it's definitely "fake", it makes more sense and it rhymes with "hate"

Could "Accident" be "Exedent" or "ascendant" ?

Ex´e`dent a. 1. Eating out; consuming.

as·cen·dant also as·cen·dent

  1. Inclining or moving upward; ascending or rising.
  2. Dominant in position or influence; superior. n.
  3. The position or state of being dominant or in control: a conservative policy currently in the ascendant.
  4. In astrology, the point of the ecliptic or the sign of the zodiac that rises in the east at the time of a person's birth or other event.
  5. An ancestor.
My Interpretation

Very good, President, listening to the song I never heard the word "accident", I always heard Exedent, which is similar to excess or excessive. It makes much more sense, he's saying he'll go to great efforts and extreme lengths for all the sons of man.

i think it is about society being controlled and abused by politics " They pull our strings The animals They blind, they breed the hate...etc" .Generally the song could be all about it ,but when the chorus comes it makes me think about somebody who wants to be a guide for all those who are lost in life and do not agree with common points of view - these are those lonely boys. that someone is an accident to society, the society doesn't really understand him in every way

okay, english is not my mother tongue and i've never been to england or sg but i have a doubt about the "we're scientists" line. to me it actually sounds like "we sigh in tears" and this matches a bit better with "we swallow what they fake". do i make any sense?

"Must fall in line and do the dance and salute the safest pain. Bored with their lives." Is what I hear. And that's what it looks like when he sings it. : )
