      They were a shadowpicture of what was to come . Soros is Dr X .
      Antifa and BLM are Nicki !
      They are picked to displace the leaders countering objectives they are the new underground reality .
      They like Niki believe they are making a difference, they are only t b used and discarded .Fascists calling everyone else Fascists .
      Essentially they are working for the same puppet masters that have infiltrated and corrupted our system
      from within and they are the expendable cannon fodder scapegoats just like Niki .

      They are relevant in terms of people selling you red scare propaganda and then screwing you over when you trust them with executive power.
      You seeing antifa and blm in this means the red scare is working.

  • @PyroGothNerd
    @PyroGothNerd 2 года назад +5

    Looking at some of these comments, I feel like some of you didn't listen to the whole album.
    The main character literally gets brainwashed into joining a violent terrorist organization/cult that takes advantage of his desire to make a change, and becomes one of their assassins. He is troubled by what he must do, but only truly realizes he's joined the wrong people when they order him to kill Sister Mary (his only friend and comfort in life) for knowing too much. Sister Mary also reveals she's suicidal because of her troubled past and involvement with the organization. When he tries to escape with her, he's framed for her murder, and ends up institutionalized, no longer able to make any difference at all, and having been discarded by the people he dedicated his life to.
    Yes, this song is talking about some very real issues that are still relevant today, but the album is also warning the listener to not trust political revolutionary organizations that seek to indoctrinate and brainwash those who want to make a positive difference on the world.

    Yeah, you'll see there's something going on
    Got no love for politicians
    Or that crazy scene in D.C
    It's just a power mad town
    But the time is ripe for changes
    There's a growing feeling
    That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due
    [Sub-Chorus]
    I used to trust the media
    To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
    But now I've seen the payoffs
    Everywhere I look
    Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
    [Chorus]
    Revolution calling
    Revolution calling
    Revolution calling you
    (There's a) Revolution calling
    Revolution calling
    Gotta make a change
    Gotta push, gotta push it on through
    [Verse 2]
    I'm tired of all this bullshit
    They keep selling me on T.V
    About the communist plan
    And all the shady preachers
    Begging for my cash
    Swiss bank accounts while giving their
    Secretaries the slam
    They're all in Penthouse now
    Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell
    I guess Warhol wasn't wrong
    Fame fifteen minutes long
    Everyone's using everybody, making the sale
    [Sub-Chorus]
    I used to think
    That only America's way, way was right
    But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
    Gotta make a million, doesn't matter who dies
    [Chorus]
    [Guitar solo]
    I used to trust the media
    To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
    But now I've seen the payoffs everywhere I look
    Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
    [Chorus with male and female accompaniment chanting]

      Keep it up. They are still awesome. Although nowhere near as good without Degarmo and Tate, but Todd La Torre does as good of a job as anyone could trying to cover for the master. I saw this concert both times they toured with it the first time. I saw it 2 more times when they played it in it's entirety for it's 20th anniversary. I've seen this show 4 times all by itself, so I've seen them 10 times now.
