| Oh yeah... I think this song is about how government takes over our lives and we should get rid of it. Or something like that. And I think that it also might be about religion too b/c I know Brandon thinks religion in a restriction. The speaking in tongues thing at the end is great and b/c of that, I think it might be about religion. | |

| the ending part.. that's Brandon and their old DJ..Gavin Koppel. speaking gibberish. Brandon was doing the beginning i think (i haven't listened to the song in a while) and Gavin was attempting Brandon's gibberish tongue n stuff. ...i'm so glad he left the band.. he was a bad influence for Incubus.. | |

| I agree with Incubus Gigbutt on the environment thing and how furutre generations shouldn't pay for the present's mistakes. But I also think it's about how someone people only care about money in life and they waste away their whole life trying to get and keep money ("To be rich, that would be great. No, but it doesn't mean POO-POO without your nest!"). Can anyone explain the little bit at the end where their talking to that guy? (Speaking in tongues) Is it members of the band or just some random people? ;) | |

| This song seems to be about creating a utopian society that doesn't have to answer to any government and whose citizens take care of one another. I think it's a great ideology, but it's one that is unobtainable and, like perfect communism, it works only in theory. Kudos to Brandon though for some lyrics that are far more intelligent than those of his "peers" in the rock community. | |
