They scream about "Why don't presidents fight the war? why do we always send the poor?!" They mention oil, and sing that we are being "fed lies from the tablecloth". At that point, the song becomes poppy and happy and they sing "la la la, everybody's going to the party to have a real good time, dancing in the desert, blowing up the sunshine..la la la la la la la la la la."
I love their use of sarcasm, the fact that they sing about us being lied to and brainwashed, and "Cigaro" seems to be written from Bush's point of view:
"My cock is much bigger than yours" ..."We're the propagators of all genocide
Burning through the world's resources
Then we turn and hide "
The lyrics are meaningful and the music ROCKS!
Don't steal it- Buy it!!
