I was just reading the REAL lyrics of this song which are pretty different, and I think I might have an idea of what it's about.
We all know Matt's stance on America, war, poverty etc, right? Well, this song could be about soldiers going into third world countries and waging war against them for petty reasons (ie. oil, money, nukes, power). I get that from the second verse. The lyrics are
"face first pilots through your window - (kamikaze soldiers?)
them paupers they catch hell! - (the poverty stricken villagers getting attacked?)
it's strange to think we could have been
so brought up by ourselves - (being immature, pretty, devoid of morals or knowing right from wrong?)
The first verse to me just seems like a school shooting situation. From the point of view of the shooter. I know it seems bizarre, but matt does fixate on these things. Maybe someone will see where I'm coming from, if they read the lyrics.
The third verse confuses me. About unemployment and military maybe?
In any case, it was my very favorite song off of Hospital Music when it first came out. Still perfect.
