Blinded in Chains Lyrics

And we're at it again, I turn around another fucking war, man
I don't know where to begin, but I'll start with the radical leaders
Their steps we're followin'

Running, don't go back and fight, too many you'll lose
(And as clowns you follow...

    It perhaps has to deal with how we, as a human race, are falling apart, and how we're blind to our earth's destruction, and we just shrug it all off as if it's nothing.

    This song is about how big government is bad, and that you should not trust the government. Don't let people and politicians fool you into believing big government is good or that the gov't can fix your problems; don't allow yourself see the gov't as God that can protect you from all travesties in life. In other words: pro small government.

    I think this song is the band's personal view on how fucked up the government is.

    I believe this song is about the Jewish holocaust. "if they had it their way I'd burn in hell and your future's a fucking disaster can't you see don't give them all the power when your future's in desperate trouble baby" shows how the Nazis just wanted all the Jews dead and how the Jews didn't know what was going to happen to them. "you've fallen asleep in denial look at the way were dying one by one how it ends I'll never know just live your life blind like me" shows how the Jews felt while In the concentration camps

    Don't mean to be as blatantly obvious, since this is about a song and all and one that is the closest to the proposed ?

    So, hypothetically (wink, wink), if the NSA were to infiltrate someones personal life without them knowing, how could that person guard against it? Not for friends who've done it for like 1+ years, but from the actual NSA?

    I can understand if you innocently spend hours at a particular site, like The International Jihad Association of America, or something, reading and reading, clicking on random profiles you thought had something interesting to say but were about, Hm, something like bombs that would alert the NSA...

    Anywho, what if you realized that your curiosity was a red-flag, so you didn't do that any more...ANYWHERE, but were still suspected of being...(? dunno) and were being followed for no reason.

    How do you divert that and what is the proper way to "behave" in an online site such as The International Jihad Association of America?

    Just curious.

    And not that you'll respond because this is pointless...as usual...but it's safer to never surface....to say what I want to say without anyone (but you) seeing is nice!

    UNLESS you are not affiliated with SM.

    In that case, you have many trollz :0

    Somebody told me that this song was about keeping religion out of the government. I don't know if that's true but it's a possibility if you think about it.
