I'VE WRITTEN DOWN TWO WAYS OF PLAYING THE FIRST BIT OF THE INTRO BECAUSE I
TAUGHT MYSELF TO PLAY
THE FIRST ONE WHICH IS A LOT SIMPLER, BUT I SAW CHRIS CHENEY ON THE FILM
CLIP PLAYING IT SOMETHING
LIKE THE SECOND WAY.

THERE ARE FAINT SONDS OF THE INTRO WHEN CHRIS IS PLAYING UN PALM MUTED C5
CHORD AT THE END OF THE
SECOND LINE, SO IF YOU HAVE TWO GUITARISTS IT WOULD BE GOOD.

| just a lil wake up to the americans - no offense intended - but you guys ain't the only country with a fucked up government. we aussies have one too, mainly coz howard is just kissin bush's ass. anyway, it's plainly asking "who's gonna save us" in a society where we as individuals stand for nothing | |

| From the words of the band, the song is about the gulf-war and how people are being sent to fight each other, many of whom probably didn't know who they were fighting for or against anyway. (It can't be about the California Recall because the band's Australian!) | |

| I remember hearing somwhere that it was about the Australian elections around the time it was written. The Australian-released clip for the song kinda reinforces this, but it could be about lots of things. | |

| About the California Recall. Or could be about any election, but was written when this was going on. | |
