..With song titles like 'Bin Laden Determined To Strike In U.S.', 'Guantanamo' and the general political direction the album takes - both audio and visual - have you faced any criticism over your opinions and the songs on the album? I think it is one of the most thoughtful - and thought-provoking - political albums to be released for many years, from the songs through to the graphics.
..Vic) Yes, we’ve taken some hits on the politics of the record. There are more than a few people who think that politics don’t belong in music. But they miss the entire point. The moment you write a song you are making something of nothing and are engaging in a process that is contrary the established, natural order. It’s like Marcuse says: Every work of art begins with a discontent with the way things are. I’m more explicit about my discontents than others, but all real music is already political.
There is, naturally, music that pretends it isn’t political. A lot of people write songs to just to entertain people, to divert them from the conduct of their lives and to make money. But if that is your goal there is no difference between you and Brittany Spears, no matter how avant-garde you think you sound. And you’ve made a political statement anyway: I’m fine with the way things are, and want to get some of it for myself. And will do whatever they ask me to get it. You’re a whore to the status quo.

lyrics

Personal responsibility is an ethic we preach
Enough excuses--that's not what we need
We'll keep your values straight
through legislation
and plan on updating the divine right of kings

Our righteous authority: what we stand on
That, and the tanks, planes, rifles
and nuclear bombs
By their acts you shall know them
and their many deceptions
The moral man knows which cheek to turn
and which to beat on

Leadership accountability is ours to define
We have a firmness of purpose
and never apologize
We get paid to take action, not count all those bodies
The buck stops over there--with those other guys

Sorry, bad day.
