Cover art for Black Helicopter lyrics by Matthew Good

I think this is a commentary on how our society sees all this stuff on tv and in video games but never really take it to heart. people are dying but we'd rather play the game than live with the reality that it's our fault it still goes on. We would find it devistating if something like whats going on in the middle east happen here in north america.. but since its happeneing there its just "natural". Its saying what goes around comes around, what we create becomes our fate kinda deal. We think killing is the answer but that just makes us murderers.

personally i feel thats a really scratch the surface interpretation i know theres something deeper...

After long listening to this song (mostly cause i love it) i just kinda realized that its way more directed at government negligence and ignorance. Especially directed at the united states. How they think war is the answer and how they think it'll bring peace. This is evident in "hey sammy ain't you heard? Only killers call killing progress" Sammy as in Uncle Sam. Its about how this is all gunna come back to haunt the states. Also how governments and citizens try to ease their consciences with "food aid rock and roll" but its hypocritical cause the next minute...
