Lyric discussion by jacsmith17 

The song is about the New World Order. If you are unfamilliar with the term, I suggest you google it. As well as "Illuminati". Soundgarden wrote about it alot, the song "New Damage" from Badmotorfinger is another example. Before you dismiss it as stupid conspiracy, you should seriously read into it. Cornell doesnt seem like the kind of guy who'd write a bullshit song, or who would spend alot of time reading into a bullshit conspiracy theory. Oh and since ya'll are sondgarden fans, I'm guessing you dont care for modern "popular music", and Im guessing you all are wonderiring WTF good music like soundgarden is such a rarity these days. google illuminati music industry and it'll make some sense.

not my intention to sound rediculous or to freak everyone out haha

peace and love

bingo! right on.

You guys are retarded. You have nothing to back up that this song is about the Illuminati. And when he says, "A new world order" in New Damage, he's talking about how George H. W. Bush said that in a speech. Cornell has said before that this song is a "shame on decadence" song. There is nothing about the Illuminati in it, and the guy who said, "Bingo" looks like an idiot for saying that.

Well, keep in mind Cornell loves mocking superstitions. He has two songs on the debut titled 665 and 667, mocking the idea that those numbers are as evil as the number in between: 666.
