Cover art for Worlds Apart lyrics by ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead

First explanation is dead on. I'm an American and over time I have allowed my blinders to come down and have come to the decision that our indulgence is the reason we and the world have so many problems. However, I think for other countries to take a snotty ass stance against Americans is lame because if their nations had the same power base and ability to do what we have done, they would do the same. Corrupt politics in democracies or republics are only products of the greedy, egocentric creatures that we are.
