"Pay no attention to the man behind the barbed curtain."
I love that. This is a reference to The Wizard of Oz, there the wizardof oz is discovered to be a fraud and says “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.”
You know.
Anyways, I think that what the Flobots mean by this is that the polititians mentioned above (Professional wrestlers and vice presidents want you to believe them) are constantly lying to you and, when found out, they deny and tell the general public to ignore the faults and lies, etc. And remember all of that stuff about Guantanamo Bay? The torture stuff? I think that is an example of what the Flobots mean by saying “Pay no attention to the man behind the barbed curtain.” Barbed curtain, like jail fences. Now I’m getting mixed up, because I’m only 12 too, but this song is incredibly deep and that was just an analysis of that one line.
