My Lyrical Interpretation of Radiohead's "2+2=5"

Are you such a dreamer
to put the world to rights?
I'll stay home forever
where two and two always makes a five.
I'll lay down the tracks,
sandbag and lie.
January brings April showers,
and two and two always makes a five.
It's the devil's way now;
there is no way out.
You can scream, and you can shout.
It is too late now.
Because…you have not been
payin' attention
payin' attention
payin' attention
This is how I felt about the American public in the buildup to the war in Iraq. I felt the first words were meant for our President, who we know now was quite manipulative in gaining support for the invasion. The last half was meant for the American public, who took his word for it.

your doing great as well, I like tuning in on a daly basis, just for a look into the dpeths of your brain. As far as my take on the war in Iraq, or any war for that matter. I hate it, I hate the idea of people I used to work with dying in helicopter crashes, I hate the "Christian" country trying to right the "Muslim" country with the use of weapons that destroy in mass. Jesus never bombed anyone. The bible clearly states... Do unto others as you would have them do to you. So... with that said, is it ok to Shock and Awe the capital building, then display it all over the media. In todays society, I am scared to even make comments like this for fear of CIA. To clarify, I am not saying I am going to Shock and Awe anything, I just don't believe that this is what the country should be focusing on as far as waring Terror. Besides, war is terror. I was never in one, but from I hear, it makes grown men cry, or not cry, ever. Dante dosnt know he is missing on this post, this is right up his alley. Him and Jason.
