"Soldier's poem" as written by and Matthew James Bellamy....
Throw it all away
Lets lose ourselves
Cause there's no one left for us to blame
Its a shame we're all dying
And do you think you deserve your freedom
How could you send us all far away from home
When you know damn well that this is all
I would still lay down my life for you
And do you think you deserve your freedom
No I don't think you do
There's no justice in the world
There's no justice in the world
And there never was
Lets lose ourselves
Cause there's no one left for us to blame
Its a shame we're all dying
And do you think you deserve your freedom
How could you send us all far away from home
When you know damn well that this is all
I would still lay down my life for you
And do you think you deserve your freedom
No I don't think you do
There's no justice in the world
There's no justice in the world
And there never was

it's a comparison between an AMerican soldier and Iraq civilian:
Iraqi (speaking towards his fellow Iraqis):
Throw it all away/The world is all against us
Lets lose ourselves/What should we do? -> anger -> terror
Cause theres no one left for us to blame/Can't blame people in our land, because all are poor
Its a shame we're all dying/ ...
And do you think you deserve your freedom?/ (Towards the American soldier)
American (to America):How could you send us all far away from home?/Why are we doing this? why can't they help themselves, why isn't Bush here, why am I?
When you know damn well that this is all?/The government knows, they can't bring peace to this countries
I would still lay down my life for you./But as I am proud AMerican I wouldn't question and do what they want
Iraqi:And do you think you deserve your freedom?/what did the American himself do for it?
No I dont think you do!/he was just lucky to be born there
Both:Theres no justice in the world
Theres no justice in the world
And there never was
Maybe i get what your saying because i'm a caet lol.
but it kinda stuck me. It's a great "high" song.
the song just kinda sounds like being high..
so the point:
there have been a few soldiers who have recently spoke out about the reason that we're over there:
Poppy plants.
opium.
"there's no one left for us to blame." - we've blamed it on all of these "terrorists" and now we've got not no one left to justify our presence overseas.
the singer says. "and you think you deserve your freedom? how could you send us so far from home? when you know damn well we're that this is wrong. I would still lay down my life for you."
from a soldier's perspective: he asks the all of the people in the US government included: "do you think you DESERVE your freedom?" do you even KNOW what we've been doing over here? this is wrong, we shouldn't be here.
you don't deserve freedom because what we're fighting for is not "freedom" or "democracy."
we're killing innocent people, and we know it.
"I would still lay down my life for you." saying: even though this is BS, I still took oath to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;"
he wants to defend, help and serve his country. so he will still lay down his life for for our country, although he believes what he is doing is wrong."
I respect and support our military every day. always have always will.
The soldier addresses George W Bush and Tony Blair. Bush and Blair desperately needed revenge for the 9/11 disaster, and decided to blame Iraq for it.
It's a shame so many people died for such a misled cause. And all in the name of freedom for the Iraqi people. Bush and Blair knew damn well that this was wrong -- but they still sent their troops so far away from home, causing the deaths of so many.
The soldier believes that with their atrocities neither Bush nor Blair deserve their own freedom. If there was any justice in the world, they would have been prosecuted by the International Court of Justice and found guilty of crimes against humanity.
But there is no justice in the world.
I'm not saying that Muse was plagiarist. Soldier's Poem is one of the most beautiful song of them. I think it speaks of war for general, not really made a reference to a specified one. Somehow it is the real condition of every war...
“Do you deserve your freedom?” is a legit question... we’re ok sending men and women far from home to do HORRIBLE things, using psychological training on them to get the “kill rate” (the % of soldiers actually shooting at the enemy with the intent to kill them) up from 2% in WWII to 98% in modern wars. The majority of humans have no wish to kill each other, that 2% from WWII bears it out, yet now we’ve conditioned these soldiers to shoot to kill as a conditioned response... we’ve turned normal folk into killers with psychology so now we’ll just deprogram them... oh, we can’t do that? We turned normal people into killers but never gave one thought about what that does to them or how to help them?
There’s no justice in the world...
...and there never was.
