DEATH VIA SATELLITE
politically
compulsory routine
they spin it to shift all of the blame
(what they say!)
what's in it for me?
not better for all three
and definitely too right by me
they say
analysis of remains
showed signs of struggle
they say
the murder rate
dropped this year from one to seven
they say
it's gotta be
right for you and left for no one
they say
it's all about what
they say
american me
elective surgery
is just what i need to stay ahead
(of the game!)
the prettiest thing
that i can never be
with money it's easily attained
they say
prime minister
shot today without a warning
they say
air quality
in my town is next to nothing
they say
it's gotta be
right for you and left for no one
they say
it's all about what
they say
picture in picture
104 of channels of
death via satellite
picture in picture
104 of channels of
death via satellite
the idiot king
yeah, he knows everything
his vanity prevents his actions
(what's he say!)
the easiest thing
is not what he's selling
but it could be what you're buying
they say
american
shopping malls could be a target
they say
the murder rate
dropped this year from one to seven
they say
it's gotta be
right for you and left for no one
they say
it's all about what
they say
it's all about what
they say
// ABOUT THIS SONG
It's about the media and their manipulation of everything. The best trick that they have is this: they lean everything to the right and then they say "oh the media is liberal! oh the media is liberal!" so you think that the message you are getting which is a conservative message, is a lefty message. And everyone is completely baffled and confused. So that was that one and also the media's expectations of women to have a certain value. I noticed on certain news channels the women were nipped and tuck and made up and on others they wern't as nipped and tuck. It was when *blank* went to Fox, she went from the really relaxed intelligent looking non-makeup wearing, bright journalist-- not that she is not anymore. She got a facelift and she wears tons of makeup and she has her hair done and her perfect little gucci suits. It's just weird when she shifted to fox she took on a whole new image. Not that I think that there is anything wrong, but as far as I feel about women and image I think whatever makes a woman feel good image wise that's not harmful to herself. Whatever you want if you need a nose job or a tit job or whatever it's your deal. If it makes you feel better inside I am not going to past judgement. And the third one was about Dear George and I am a grand conspiracy theorist. And I believed early on there was a little more knowledge then we were led to believe about the events of 9/11 and it turned out-- i wrote that song a long time ago and it turns out to be true. There was knowledge to the administation that something that was going to happen. - AECHO
At alot of the shows during the war phenomena, Aimee would also add in "Death Via Satellite, No War" to the lyrics. And all the fans chanted along with her in protest to the war. "The Idiot King" seems to be a direct reference to Mr. George Bush, at least that's what most of us are thinking.
