	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 dream´s 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.
