It's obvious to me the band is railing at PEOPLE in general because the 1% own 95% of everything, and the 99% are too afraid to stand up as a group and say NO MORE. On top of that, the comfort levels of even the poor (bottom 40%) is acceptable to the point they don't want to rock the boat.
Everyone is so scared, they don't want to go there (FBI, CIA, IRS, DHS, FCC, TSA, NSA, all alphebet soup policing agencies of government....as well as corporations and their grubby hands in everything). We all got our lives to lose (everything we take for granted is only there because since we DON'T stand up TPTB haven't decided its time to take it away yet).
I'm pointing my fingers, the problems still linger (Example: Media points fingers, people point fingers, lay blame; nobody accepts responsibility...so it never gets better, and only gets worse).
I know it's easy to look at any song and make it political, but Ariel is quoted as saying "We're not trying to save the church, we're trying to save the world." Alot of bands and artists are doing just that...it's just that few of them get huge sponsoring because their lyrics and their goals do not coincide with corporate or powerful interests.
We rage in our heads and hearts because we know we should do something about it all, but instead we continue doing the same crap everyday: buy, consume, be quiet.
