Is my favorite song. My brother and I discovered while on Youtube, and I have listened to it ever since. What is the Meaning behind it? I believe it is about Man's potential to do things for good or for bad,and showing one man leading a simple life, with his former friend rising to lead the world, and eventually kill his friend for power. For those of you who have not heard it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLUX0y4EptA

Haha, I remember that song. It became kind of popular and then died out just as fast. I actually quite like it

That sounds spammish google.. you can click on the link above and hear the song, so that post reeks of wasted space..

Anyway, I love this song. It's so stupid, but the delivery is cool. I downloaded it on Rock Band. It's easy to play, but I just did it to hear it. Makes me laugh almost every time. On a side note, it makes my fiance cringe every time. Lol, she hates it.

I remember this song.. One of those songs that become popular so quick but then die off at the same speed.

I really loved and still do love this song. Love the message it kind of has. The beat is just pretty relaxing too :P

It's a great song; personally I agree with what delossantosj said but I think it also has to do with the uneven balance of power in today's world.

Either way I really like the Flobots.

I love the song. I'm not really into that kind of music, but the lyrics make the song really good...

The videoclip is also really nice, alot of hidden meanings in it aswell.

Really? I tried that with clever bot and it didn't work, guess it's random.
