	Same bodies buried hungry /but with different last names I think this works in relation with the line 'pick a point on the globe/ the pictures the same' to say everywhere you look there it's the same: dead bodies everywhere (any korn fans here?); but with different last names lets us differentiate between them, so we can see there's more than one, its happening everywhere (pick a point on the globe...) I don't know if i've explained that very well but whatever. BTW this song ROCKs our Bass player loves it best- it's the only solo (at the beginning) he can play lol.

No Picture woody!! Professional	#3 by woody!! woody!! at Dec 10, 2006 at 8:11 PM EST
	I really like RATM I dont know y (maybe just because of the line: Calm like a bomb) but it sounds like its about some1 about to go insane (or already is) and is gonna go postal for those of u who dont know wat postal is, its when some1 goes insane and goes on a killing spree at work. the term comes because the most deaths involing ppl goin insane and killing co-workers is in post offices.

	ilikepork, i think the line same bodies buried hungry but with different last names means people are dying, but the government isnt telling you what they are really dying of

No Picture kristopher-karl Average	#5 by kristopher-karl Schröder at Sep 25, 2007 at 11:14 AM EST
	Favouirite part is the audience singalong of “whatcha say, whatcha say, whatcha say,what!” and gotta dig that bass solo at the start!
