Jamie stated during the preview album stream that this song was inspired by a dream and despite the title it has no political message at all.
When I go to sleep
I don't hardly dream
All I get are these nightmares
So it would seem
Most times I forget
But just one remains
So clear and coloured
Rattlin' my brain
There's a knock at the door
"Police," they say
My buddy open up and
Get blown away
Jump out of the back
Whole town's the same
Everybody on the run from
This murder game
The last thing I remember
Was this enormous sign
Erected on the hillside
And six huge words...
I don't believe in
Mystics and seers
Who'd fake the future
From these ideas
But I can't help thinking
There's something else
Some cryptic message
From me to myself
The last thing I remember
Was this enormous sign
Erected on the hillside
And six huge words:
