| I was wondering about the two versions. I like the faster one way better.. I dont know which one that is.. the one thats missing teh sirens bit. anyway is absolute awesome. Its a protest themed song, exactly what was said about fighting the power and being blinded by rage - makes me think of Che Guevara, exactly that: using rage to fight the force and all that..... cheers | |

| Is there another version of this song? I just heard one which doesn't have the first verse and has a couple of lines missing from the second verse, but has an interlude towards the end, with the words 'I hear the sirens all around'. I much prefer the version that has both verses, though - the one I heard recently sounded rather dull and repetitive. | |

| "it's also on a nutri-grain bar commercial." Because nothing says moving product like protest music. (See also: Creedence Clearwater Revival, "Fortunate Son", and Wrangler.) | |

| the version with both verses(apparently the original version, also called "jacknife lee version") is on the album as well as a hidden track a few minutes after u boat. i haven't a clue as to why they changed it, the album version is so fucking flat and boring compared to the original. i reckon the lyrics are about society today, "rubicon" referencing to caesar's military coup that founded the roman empire and in the long run today's european culture. (or it could be a reference to tangerine dreamīs old album "rubycon"?) "see the stones coming at my window, see the left man no protection, tell his family that he will be ok K-I-L-L." - about soldiers being shipped off to (more often than not meaningless) war? "turn away from yourself in silence, you can't finish the country using you" - (would be great to actually get the correct lyrics, wouldn't it?) like i said, about society and trying to fight it eventhough you know there's really no point. by far the best kasabian song out there, this. both lyrically and musically(jacknife lee version). | |

| Quality song, Kasabians best I reckon. I dawdled "'cause the reason is treason" all over my English file at college... It's one of those songs that gets a hold of you. | |
