| This song actually started out about homophobia, but when the May Day Riots occured it took on a more political edge. The rapper is Justin Warfield from One Inch Punch. | |

| IMO, this is a call to arms to all gay, lesbian and bisexual people around the world to stop taking shit, take their stand and feel proud of themselves the rapping just gives it a whole different vibe and attitude than what Placebo have gotten us used to the last part with the rapping and the singing at the same time just takes the song into a whole new level I could easily picture a video for this song taking place in a Gay Pride Parade so this is what this song tells me: "We will not be denied, no matter what" | |

| I come up with some weird-ass song Interpretations but this has to beo ne of the weirdest... I think that the Aces represent girls, Jacks represent guys, and Queens represent gay guys. I've always thought that the "queens" want to be with the "jacks" but they never get a shot, as opposed to "aces"who practically have them wrapped around their finger. I derived this from reading the lyrics and drinking 3 Frappuccinos... | |

| i think that in this song, brian molko is trying to show the world that we need to get it sorted out! like peoples gambling, alcohol, sex and drug problems...more should be done about it all | |

| as soon as i heard "queen" i thought "gay man", and jack=boys and ace=girls. i thought this song was about how the queens (gays) wish they could have the jacks (men), but they can't because the jacks only want the aces (girls), and the men will even "club themselves to death" to get them, or touch themselves while they stand in line waiting. and by "aces take your time" that means that the girls should take care with the men, and not muck about with them. they should appreciate that they have the jacks wrapped around their finger. i actually can't see any discrimination or the likes in this song o.O but yeah, that's what i thought | |
