Vicious Traditions


“Absolutely great song. But it's clearly an anti-war song, and perhaps the best anti-war song, at that - due to the fact that it veers from being an insipid protest song and, instead, keeps it personal - personal regarding those affected by the war and the person who started the war. Just in case it didn't dawn on you yet, it's clearly about G..W. Bush and the Iraq war. Fight your way out of this one, W.”
Da Songmeanings
I'd pull my weight if it made any difference
Gave his life for the nine million others
And on his graves written "Here lies Joseph"
His country's gun and innocent soldier

Well fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one
Well fight your way out of this one
Fight your way out of this one

Grew a blood red vision for all their good intentions
Made an easy million from a foreign investment
Danced with the devils in beautiful buildings
Affirmative action for a useful reunion

He'd change his name if it made any difference
He's waiting in line for the lasting confession
On his grave's written "Here lies our son Joseph"
His country's gun and innocent soldier

Well, fight your way out of this one (ah ah)
Fight your way out of this one (ah ah)
Fight your way out of this one (ah ah)
Fight your way out of this one (ah ah)
Fight your way out of this one (ah ah)
Fight your way out of this one (ah ah)
Fight your way out of this one (ah ah)
Fight your way out of this one (ah ah)

That is not who the song is about at all it is about Roman Emperor Joseph II
