Wanna go hear a GREAT Anti-Bush Song

Find the song by Incubus called Megalomaniac and listen to it. They have admitted that the song is directly written in response to Bush. I loved the song and when I found out its purpose, I loved it even more

1. Lyrics here...

I hear you on the radio
You permeate my screen, its' unkind but
If I met you in a scissor fight
I'd cut off both your wings on principle alone
On principle alone

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself
Baby, just step down, step down

If I were your appendages
I'd hold open your eyes
So you would see
That all of us are heaven sent
There was never meant to be only one
To be only one

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself
Baby, just step down, step down

Yeah
You're no Jesus
You're no Elvis
...
You're no answer

Hey megalomaniac
You're no Jesus
Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis
Special, as you know yourself
Just step down

4. Great song

They actually have never admitted it was about Shrub. People just assume that b/c the video is so clearly anti-Bush and antiwar. In fact, I think I once heard that the band is now claiming it's about one of the characters in the "Three Amigos." Whatever.

It's still a great song and they certainly don't get offended when people think it's anti Shrub!

6. I heard a radio interview, where they finally admitted it was Bush

They said they denied it for some time untl the Album got off the ground, but they finally admitted it.

7. Thanks!

Like I said, it's a great song either way. But this does make it just a little bit better.
