Mastermind Lyrics
I am the mastermind
Leaving you all behind
And that aint no fucking lie

It's just a problem of mine
It's like columbine

Kiss it all good-bye

The only bit i wasnt sure about when submitting this was before the instumental, i think Jimmy says "go pennsylvania" but i couldnt be certain so i didnt include it, if anyone else has any ideas what Jimmy might be saying then just hit me up and i'll change it...
The "oh Pennsylvania" or "go Pennsylvania" makes me make they're yelling at the state. A few years back, there was a shooting at an Amish school in or near Lancaster county, and not long after that, there was a near shooting in a Plymouth Meeting high school (luckily, the kid was caught beforehand, with dozens of guns that his mom stupidly bought him). It's possible that, at least that part of the song, was written in reaction to those things.

Good song, pretty cool. I don't dig the vocals, but I love the synth, instruments, and the lyrics.
'this shit gonna turn your momma white' and 'it makes me want to cry'
It's all very funny, and it's a great live track.
I think this song is about people who believe that they were created as superior beings and and believe they should kill all others. The most blatant examples of this is Columbine reference and the repetition of "I am the mastermind", but there seems to be other examples in the lyrics.
I agree with neonsaurian. In some technical ways.. there is definately many more examples in the lyrics.. as well as all MSI songs I've realized. I want to know their secret cause they sing a lot about fucking just awesome shit, and many hidden messages if you listen carefully or view their lyrics.. I love MSI! I will figure them out..
MSI goes mainstream.... That's not good.
your exacty right if msi gose mainstream then we'll start seeing

I love mindless self indulgence. Dont care whether or not they have gone mainstream! Jimmy is a genious! and if he could make more money doing what hes doing then great!
Inky...
MSI has not gone mainstream... they just needed to play with their sound, because if a band makes the same sounds over and over again people get tired of it..... but when they change everyone says "THEY'VE GONE MAINSTREAM!"
Jeesh, like i really love IF its amazing, they did kinda get rid of the "Atari" sounds, but i dig this song
I hate it when people complain "They're going mainstream! OMFG NO! Now I have to stop listening because I'll be one of the drones". Uhhh news flash: They're still MSI. If you like them, listen to them. Simple as that.
As for the song, I have NO idea what they're talking about as usual BUT its amazing. I love the whispering voice when he says "I am the Mastermind".
It's good the sound and style has changed, because I would have been sick of it right then and there. I don't think they're mainstream but either way I'm not one of those stupid people who stop liking a band because they care about irrelevant shit like the loads of "14 year old mallgoths" loving them. Who gives a fuck.
Did someone not get the message back when "You'll Rebel to Anything" came out? Jimmy said that because the fans had been so good to them, they owed it to the fans to start making "good music". So quit whining about them being "mainstream". They are trying to make better music for the loyal fans, quit whining and enjoy it!
