Lyric discussion by Eastby91 

No comments on such a great song? I guess may be like that because it deals more with his own political belief and not so much on feelings. It's quite obvious what the song is about. Matt does not like the structure of society and thinks were living in a false democracy where information are kept from us to maintain a strucure where the larger mass gets abused by corporations, systems and people with power in general. He concludes by saying that England (and the world) is slowly being transformed into a new part of USA. Criticism against capitalism in general

@Eastby91 Just listened to this today on the 30th anniversary of its release and it is both as brilliant and as scarily relevant (IMO) as ever.

@Eastby91 He was as much a prophet as a poet.
