| As you may of notice, the "why don't you quiet down?" part is some sort of argument. I don't know if it is between boss and worker, but I'm pretty sure it is important to this song's meaning.I can't fully hear what the person in the background is saying. This is my guess "and you always promise me". | |

| I think that it's about telling the lower working class to take a stand against the government, Be constructive "We can talk and and complain about things so why not stand up and do someting?" Their weapons we can use "We are their army", Even when you're talkin' War games..'You can make all the threats in the world but it wont do anything", You don't live in a business world He never goes and he never stays. "You not a part of them so stop running around in circles about it. All over, the planet's dead All over the planet, " We are the econemy we are the dollars and cents and its stuffed up like this all over the world. | |

| Wow, who came up with lyrics... whoever wrote that screwed up the meaning. First of all it doesnt say "bear witness, we can use" it says "their weapons, we can use" and at the end it says "crack your little souls" not "kill." This song is a threat to those in control of our society that the people could knock over the entire capitalistic system simply through economics. The line Why don't you quiet down? is the reaction to thoms message. All the types of currency represent the people of the world. Basically i think this is what thoms saying... hey their anarchists anyways! Niam... your a materialist too... all of us are. | |

| when thom says that we are the dollars and cents, i think it means that we're controlled by the CEOs and business execs and stuff. When he sings "why dont u quiet down?" its kinda like the CEOs telling us to do our job so then can make their money | |
