As far as the argument between Shauncreany and Silentknight goes, I would have to side with SilentKnight. I know using extremely underused words in this day in age may make you seem a lot smarter and more knowledgable than those around you, but it finally comes down to the general idea you want to get across. Among that mountain of needless words you put together, you basically said "fuck capitalism" and "fuck the United states". You also stated that this is exactly what Tears for Fears is stating. Ok, well it may make sense...sure we live in a capitalistic world. And at the time this song came out, capitalism was fighting communism. You're stating that capitalism was what tears for fears was speaking out against. Now if this is true...if you agree with these men, you would indeed be setting yourself up for agreeing with your newly created hypocrits. Because, only through a capitolistic world, could a group like tears for fears make millions of dollars through the number of albums they sold. And they sure as hell made a lot of money, speaking their mind, in the free western world....hey, can you tell me how many famous russian singers came out of 80's from the Soviet Union? That's what i thought....it's marketing...people want to feel unique, either by memorizing the dictionary (like yourself), or by joining some cause, this usually exists within fanatic youths from 18 - 26...so, groups will make music that will appeal to their idealistic principals (in order to put some money in the pockets). Now, even though i feel that in a way, tears for fears did such a thing (if i was to agree with your inturpretation of the song)...I don't care...you know why? Because even though they're working hard to agree with the fanatic youth of the time...they end up suprising even themselves with the philosophical symbolism they create (even though it was done to make a buck). I think the same thing can go for bands nowadays....like System of a Down...even though they're against a lot of the thigns you are.....the men are millionaires....are they hypocrits? Nahh......Business men? Hell yeah!!....The extreme populice of the capitol world. Let's see if you could speak your mind living in your "Utopian anti-capitolistic" world. There were a lot of men that had the same dreams as you did.....they go by the names of Karl Marx, Joseph Stalin and Vladamir Lenin....the last two ended up being responcible by ordering the deaths of more than 20 million people during their eras.....now you think about it....maybe, if you put the dictionary and bong down...get off your lazy ass, stop repeating what your other lazy friends say because they don't want to get a job...and do something for yourself, you won't have to pretend to be "unique" by reciting Webster and Shakespeare online and actually do something for yourself...
To this post from Oorakhhye, how dare you mention System of a Down. They are a great band and it is not their fault that the very people that buy their records would be against what they were saying if they would only listen. If I made music to speak out against capitalism I would laugh my ass off that the people buying my albums were too retarded to understand that it is them that I am speaking against. We all know that a bunch of cocky "dude bros" listen to these bands and bang their heads because it is...

We all know that a bunch of cocky "dude bros" listen to these bands and bang their heads because it is so "hard core". It is not the fault of the band, it is the fault of the idiots who listen to it. It is the same as all the jesus believers that listen to Tool, with songs like "Choices" and A Perfect Circle's "Judith", it is not the fault of Maynard (who writes the songs) that he is making money off of dumb shits who do not understand the meaning of the lyrics. Tears for Fears were speaking out against the materialistic capitalism of America and among others as well. However, do not blame the band, blame the douche bags who buy it and just don't get it. It is so sad that if I were to say the very things that these songs stand for, all of the people that just love it so much in this forum would be all pissed off. It is so sad that so few people understand that you should probably agree with what you are listening to because that is what music is about. Oh, and there is nothing wrong with using a variety of words in one's vocabulary, because in fact it technically does make you smarter.
