Look at me
Look at me
Driving and I won't stop
And it feels so good to be
Alive and on top
My reach is global
My tower secure
My cause is noble
My power is pure
I can hand out a million vaccinations
Or let'em all die in exasperation
Have'em all grilled leavin lacerations
Have'em all killed by assassination
I can make anybody go to prison
Just because I don't like'em and
I can do anything with no permission
I have it all under my command
I can guide a missile by satellite
By satellite
By satellite
and I can hit a target through a telescope
Through a telescope
Through a telescope
and I can end the planet in a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
In a holocaust
and the part "I can lead a nation with a microphone"
sounds like The Flobots are trying to show us what can happen when someone becomes 'All powerful' or believes in their 'noble cause' so much that they'll do anything to achieve what they think is right, or do anything for 'the greater good,' no matter what that entitles.
I think the song's basically about how easily amazing leaders can turn 'evil' through power and arrogance.
Its almost like the holocaust and Hitler's rein of power how he started to show the Germans that he was great then he took control and made the mass killing of all the Jews possible
