| the NAFTA is talked about on the Mexico City dvd, it was some kind of treaty that the US trapped the mexican government with. "Wind below" is a quote from someone describing the Zapatista movement in Mexico, about how they're gonna rise up and take over. | |

| Yeah the lyrics are kind of borked. The song speaks to the minorities who are subject to the whims of those in power, namely Mexico. it also talks about how the government in junction with corporations seek to dull our awareness and keep us sedated within the "American Dream". That's a brief overview of the songs meaning. | |
