| I think this song is about how a president has a lot of power but only puts the power towards violent purposes as opposed to doing other things to please people. apart from acting like a trigger happy mother fucker, the president does nothing Sounds a lot like George W. Bush-asshole | |

| The lyric is actually “give the pills time to work”, I checked the lyrics that come with the CD. Its pills not bills, another drug reference. Also, George W. Bush became president around the time this album was released, so I doubt it refers to him specifically. | |

| very good "happylittle.." he makes that clear in the phrase " and he's caught in a headlight, police-stated god " he can not do anything because he is controlled by the powers that put him there in the first place | |
