Another song that criticizes the U.S. government is “Boom!” the fourth track from their third album, “Steal This Album!” This song is about how corrupt governments or any government would rather kill then give and preserve life. It also explains how greedy these nations can be. "Every time you drop the bomb, you kill the God your child has born." I think this means that any child that is born has the capabilities to change the world or make us feel a different way. Someone that can be our political "savior" and make us see why we need to spend money on saving lives rather than destroying them. “Manufacturing consent is the name of the game, the bottom line is money, nobody gives a fuck. 4000 hungry children die per hour from starvation, while billions are spent on bombs, creating death showers.” Money has taken this to a global level. We kill for money. The government kills for money; everyone is desperate for money without it we can't survive. We are coupled by our thirst for money for our hate of them, whoever they are. It could be communism, terrorism, Iraq, etc. whatever they want us to hate and blame for all our pain.
