could the song possibly be about a megalomaniac?!?! no! o wait yeah it is! freakin a man you don't have to read that much in to this song. it is about all people! everyone is egotistic now and days. just a taste of power and people abuse it. the song is about everyone needing to get off our high horse because were all equal.

Well the video without a doubt is about president Bush. The eagle eating everyone. All the war. I think there's some irony to the fact that the first respondant (hellohello) guessed that it might be about people trying to take over the world like hitler, the president from north korea, and sadaam husein. Whilst these people may well like to take over the world, it seems to me that George W and his predecessors have done a much better job of it. Hiss.

I can see how it cud b about bush, and hey, it works its kool. and i agree really human. i saw a great bumper sticker that proves ur point "bush will not be reelected in 2004, he will declare himself emperor!!!" hehe. yeah, mayb the video is trying to make a point about how bush put a lot of dictators in power, and how the us had its hand in a lot of human suffering.

I think this song is about the US and how they're trying to be the world police and how they are vicious killers and just egocentric (not the American people, maybe the government). In this video you can see that Incubus is trying to say how oil-hungry the US is when a mother feeds her baby a bottle of oil. Another time when the US is bashed in is when a guy turns into the bald eagle (which is supposed to symbolize the US) and starts killing people and eating their heads off. They're megalomaniacs.

a megalomaniac is a person who dreams of wealth and fame, and get obsessed with it until they actually believe it. Thats why it shows famous dictators, who are wealthy, famous and powerful. So its about some one like that

In the video, they show like Hitler and Stalin. So maybe it has some connection to them? I'm not sure though.
