Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture robert Average	#1 by robert liedberg at Mar 2, 1990 at 1:29 AM EST
	Yes, With the Taxman and the Mr. Jones it's saying, this guy didn't pay his taxes, but this guy killed a man. Which was the worst crime?

No Picture J_ROC Lead Player	#2 by J_ROC at Jan 8, 1998 at 5:26 AM EST
	yeah i listened to this song and only appreciated the instrumentation, but now that i see the lyrics, i'm like wow.

No Picture Anthony Average	#3 by Anthony at Aug 24, 1998 at 11:59 AM EST
	OH MAN Les is a genius there are to many truths in this song well at least three. Its great when there are songs about societys problems.

No Picture The Masta The Muther F*ing Masta!	#4 by The Masta at Mar 29, 2000 at 11:15 PM EST
	I think that this is Les' evaluation of society and our current ideas of right and wrong. It also seems like the title of the song may somewhat be Les' manifesto for his music career. I mean, look at all he's accomplished while remaining so unique. It seems like a challenge he's facing against society, calling out brave individuals "to defy the laws of tradition."

No Picture Michael Average	#5 by Michael Vanderveen at Aug 1, 2005 at 8:47 PM EST
	This song should be my theme song...the first two verses sum up my feelings toward that bloodsucking institution called organized religion. It's outlived its purpose therefore all "priveleges" it has been extended should hereby be permanently revoked.
