| "it's a disease and they're all green it emanates from their being a satiation with occupation " - Really think those lines are such nonsense.......... | |

| No Code, yeah, green refers to money. Aside from being your typical, straight-forward anti-capitalism song, I really liked the part: "well i guess there's nothing wrong with what you say but don't sell me, 'there can't be better ways'" Here it seems as if the speaker is conceding that capitalism MAKES SENSE. But that, there could be another system even better (which is probable). So he may just be criticizing the greed and lust for power that capitalism may engender, but is nonetheless stating that it may be very well the best we can do right now. Man, much better than many "South American rockers"* who are still against globalization, privatization and so forth. * By that I refer to Los Prisioneros, RATM and the like. | |

| well i think the captain, that must be mr. bush himself. as president of the usa, he's the captain of a boat called planet earth. so this boat not save, we're drowning means in 40 -50 years we cannot live here anymore because mr bush is making waves now. that's my interpretation. | |

| For some reason even though I don't think Eddie gives a shit, I always thought this song was about Creed "Theirs a stowaway with my throat, He's decieving, don't believe him." That sounded like a call out to scott stapp, Personally I don't mind Creed, I mean, it's not like you can change your voice completely when you sing, Big deal he sounds like Eddie, but I don't like it when Scott said stuff bashing Eddie.... Cause Eddie owns him.... I do not remember which show it was, but Eddie Definitely spelled out C-R-E-E-D once.... Anyways, the song also shows greedy selfish motvations as a result of the "Green Disease" And it makes refernence to the oceans or water theme common throughout riot act.... | |

| An interprutation relating to greed, wealth and power does seem to fit. However, what I would like to know is what does he mean by a "green disease"? Maybe because bank notes are often green or depicted as being green, the green disease is a lust for money? I don't know. | |
