They pull our strings, the animals
They blind, they breed the hate
Under their wing we're scientists
We swallow what they fake
For all you lonely boys
I will be president
In all you sons of men
I can be accident
Most fall in line, they do the dance
And salute the safest thing
Bought with their lives, cry and socialize
And throw all the beauty away
For all you lonely boys
I will be president
In all you sons of men
I can be accident
They blind, they breed the hate
Under their wing we're scientists
We swallow what they fake
For all you lonely boys
I will be president
In all you sons of men
I can be accident
Most fall in line, they do the dance
And salute the safest thing
Bought with their lives, cry and socialize
And throw all the beauty away
For all you lonely boys
I will be president
In all you sons of men
I can be accident

Most fall in line
they do the dance
solute the safest name
bought with their lives
cry and socialize
and throw all the beauty away.
In this verse, he's saying that most people support a war that is taking lives in the name of 'freedom'
They pull our strings,
The animals,
The blind that breed the hate
Under their wing,
Where science is,
We follow what they fake
For all you lonely boys,
I will be president
Oh, in all you sons of men,
I can be accident
Most fall in line
They do the dance
And salute the safest name
Bored with their lives,
Crying "socialize!"
And throw all the beauty away
For all you lonely boys
I will be president
In all you sons of men
I can be accident
safest thing
bored w/ their lives (or, I always thought it was "but with their lies")
accident
I did really believe this song was about the repression of boys' and men's sexuality (but then again I think all IAMX songs are about sex) not just homosexuals and bisexuals (but mostly)the president and the accident being male sexuality
I can't see how this song is about misogynists but I guess if CC himself says so then...
