It's a scary song now and I like it better than the original. It makes you feel the angst of the poor man in the song. I really think this song is about the ultimate failure of such thinking. Granted these thoughts of mine might be lies, but I am a nihilist in this regard. There will always be power in this world no matter what the next revolution will be called. Those leaders will be installed and they will oppress the people who liked the old leaders. I am reminded of a sappy tune by Bruce Hornsby: that's just the way it is, some things will never change. Even Jesus Christ said, the poor shall always be with you. With those thoughts, why do we hold onto hope. Without hope, we can't cope therefore we die early. The only thing worth living for is just living.
