"'Superstition taking all of us for a ride Mimes overtaken by the signs of
the Right The bombs are falling overhead with no sight While you are
talking all detached, detached, detached, detached, detached"
I think the "superstition" and "the right" is our current adminstration that has "good morals" and how they tricked us into allowing them to drop bombs on other people(Iraq).
We never ever had any bombs dropped on us so we are detached and completely unfamiliar with what bombing a country really means. Heck we still use cluster bombs. The closest thing we had to a bombing was 9-11 and we panicked incredibly with such suprise. When to people in Iraq and in bombed countries they understand really what bombing is.
We only had a tiny taste of what it is from 9-11. Makes us look like a bunch of pansies when we panicked. Over 100,000 Iraqis are dead since we invaded. We are so not used to War that we are completely detached to what it actualyl means when our government decides to declare war and "bomb" another country.
Also because we use jets to drop bombs the pilots have no idea waht kind of carnage they create. To them it's just video game really. They don't see the kids with missing limbs and shrapnel stuck in their faces. They don't see the pregnant women giving birth to dead children because fell down when the bombs hit.
Our fucking media helps detach us even more from what bombing is by saying "we use smart bombs". I'm just giong to say that the massacred people labeled as "collateral damage" sure didn't blow themselves up.
"Ceremonies have killed religions for they provide The masked comforts to
delusionals, they're all in fright The true believer's head was bathed
in sunlight While you are walking all detached, so tell us"
I think he's sayign that our religion in this country has become so dillusional and gives us "masked comforts". It's a crock when you see these supposed "good christian" and "morally sound" corporate leaders and politicians praying.
It's saying that we drop bombs on the true believers. The ones that trully believe that God or Allah etc are the ones that realize they aren't going to be saved by their god as the "morally right conservatives" rain firey death from above on them.
Also the "Where do you expect us to go when the bombs fall?" is such powerful anti-war lyrics.
