a great song...

literally... it's about unfairness, explotation and social inequality in the socio-economic system our world is living in. Taking in account that the song was released pretty much close to the US invasion to Iraq (the territory where the old Babylon used to stand), it could also be seen as a direct criticism to the Bush regime.
