    *"Human beings in a mob. What's a mob to a King? What's a King to a God? What's a God to a non-believer, who don't believe in anything?"* Ok but Frank is legendary for this verse.

      Honestly, as bad as it sounds we should have a revelation of loss of religion cause it has caused way more harm than good and will continue to. Plus it has never been proven true. The only reason it exists is for people to feel comfort and relieve their guilt. Even today people are scared into being stuck in lifestyles that are like toxic relationships because of the old world views that didn’t change within the religion.

      Noah VdBlock Its more than just politics...its humans as a whole, particularly in liberal(in the definitive sense-to imply fewer restrictions and more freedoms-not the political) first world countries.
      Societies were originally put in place to allow groups of people to support one another for the good of all therein. Everyone had a place, and the value was on people, not the society.
      Modern society has become so over inflated and corrupt that it has become a self sustaining system...meaning it can tolerate massive loss of human life and keep functioning, therebye assuring society is not in place to support people...it is in place to support itself. Humans are an expendable food source, complacent, blind, and dumb...humans have literally become herd animals. sheep.
      they are so simple they think that society is in place for them...thus, when things go wrong, they immediately start to stampede, and they tear down anything and everything they can reach, and blame everyone but themselves for their problems.

      I actually don't need any of those two things to listen to it on a regular basis (mostly at night, due to the sombre melody of the song). But then again, I'm not American, so I guess I can't quite understand how it's been or how it is being for you people.
