This is my least favourite song on Silent Alarm because Bloc Party's usual sense of subtlty is completely lost for a broad political statement. The statement itself, however, is commendable. Americans protested a war that was caused by America's giant thirst for petrol. In effect, Bush went to war to secure cheaper fuel for those who took the immediate moral highground. I read an interview with the beastie boys, and they just attacked Bush - while driving around New York in a SUV. It's so fucking contradictory.
