Paul Weller shouts to the bottom (not top!) this time, telling the servile class they can revolt, in a socialist anthem that is beautifully composed. It shoots an arrow through both classism/elitism and capitalism, attacking the principles of inheritance, which assures the criticized state, can retain its grip.
The lyrics imply a violent revolution is necessary (mightiest arrow ...to shoot ....to rid of all world of their kind....just one blow...), a message that certainly not without its own criticism.
I listen to this song alone, and sing along, even if I don't agree with its angry advice on how to level the playing field.
