Cover art for The Creature lyrics by Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

I think this song is about our society and civilization in general. The status quo sustains itself, the powerful get more powerful, the weak become weaker. A song about just the government feels like it would be out of place on this album, with its epic, sweeping themes of nature vs. technology, the past vs. the future, mankind vs. itself.
