Do you know how many stars there are Do you know how many stars there are (Only god, the lord, has counted them, in the night so he didnt miss any) I give great speeches Even when I have nothing to say I know I convince everyone My plan leaves no one behind I am the answer of god Do you know how many stars there are (Only god, the lord, has counted them, in the night so he didnt miss any) High up in the heavens (Only god, the lord, has counted them, in the night so he didnt miss any) I am the answer of god Believe in me Choose me Die for me I am the answer of god I am a master of lies My message comes direct from god The world lies in its last convulsions Choose me I lead you onto the scaffold I am the answer of god Do you know how many stars there are (Only god, the lord, has counted them, in the night so he didnt miss any) High up in the heavens (Only god, the lord, has counted them, in the night so he didnt miss any) I am the answer of god Believe in me, choose me, die for me I am the answer of god (god, god, god, god) I enjoy sending you my wars You know you love your country (god, god, god, god, god) Do you know how many stars their are (Only god, the lord, has counted them, in the night so he didnt miss any) High up in the heavens (Only god, the lord, has counted them, in the night so he didnt miss any) I am the answer of god Do you know how many strips flutter in the wind (Only god, the lord, has counted them, in the night so he didnt miss any) I am the answer of god Do you see how the earth is burning? (Only god, the lord, has counted them, in the night so he didnt miss any) I am the answer of god

At first it sounds like an anti-religion song, similar to 'Gott ist ein pop-star', but the constant references to stars and the later reference to 'strips fluttering in the wind' appears to be describing the American flag. He appears to be comparing America's actions as of late as being a crusade perpetrated by a hyper-religious liar that sends people off to die in his wars.
