    Well of course they're against the war, they're Buddhists! :D

    Eventhough I disagree, I'm still a fan. Looking forward to their next album.

    Lyrics!

    In a world gone mad it¡¯s hard to think right
    So much violence hate and spite
    Murder going on all day and night
    Due time we fight the non-violent fight

    Mirrors, smokescreens and lies
    It¡¯s not the politicians but their actions I despise
    You and Saddam should kick it like back in the day
    With the coca!ne and Courvoisier
    But you build more bombs as you get more bold
    As your mid-life crisis war unfolds
    All you want to do is take control
    Now put that axis of evil bullsh!t on hold
    Citizen rule number 2080
    Politicians are shady
    So people watch your back 'cause I think they smoke crack
    I don¡¯t doubt it look at how they act

    In a world gone mad it¡¯s hard to think right
    So much violence hate and spite
    Murder going on all day and night
    Due time we fight the non-violent fight

    First the ¡®War On Terror¡¯ now war on Iraq
    We¡¯re reaching a point where we can¡¯t turn back
    Let¡¯s lose the guns and let¡¯s lose the bombs
    And stop the corporate contributions that their built upon
    Well I¡¯ll be sleeping on your speeches ¡®til I start to snore
    ¡®Cause I won¡¯t carry guns for an oil war
    As-Salamu alaikum, wa alaikum assalam
    Peace to the Middle East peace to Islam
    Now don¡¯t get us wrong ¡®cause we love America
    But that¡¯s no reason to get hysterica
    They¡¯re layin¡¯ on the syrup thick
    We ain¡¯t waffles we ain¡¯t havin¡¯ it

    In a world gone mad it¡¯s hard to think right
    So much violence hate and spite
    Murder going on all day and night
    Due time we fight the non-violent fight

    Now how many people must get killed?
    For oil families pockets to get filled?
    How many oil families get killed?
    Not a damn one so what¡¯s the deal?

    It¡¯s time to lead the way and de-escalate
    Lose the weapons of mass destruction and the hate
    Say ooh ah what¡¯s the White House doin¡¯?
    Oh no! Say, what in tarnation have they got brewing??!!!!???!!
    Well I¡¯m not pro Bush and I¡¯m not pro Saddam
    We need these fools to remain calm
    George Bush you¡¯re looking like Zoolander
    Trying to play tough for the camera
    What am I on crazy pills? We¡¯ve got to stop it
    Get your hand out my grandma¡¯s pocket
    We need health care more than going to war
    You think it¡¯s democracy they¡¯re fighting for?

    In a world gone mad it¡¯s hard to think right
    So much violence hate and spite
    Murder going on all day and night
    Due time we fight the non-violent fight

    "We felt it was important to comment on where the US appears to be heading now. A war in Iraq will not resolve our problems. It can only result in the deaths of many innocent civilians and US troops. If we are truly striving for safety, we need to build friendships, not try to bully the rest of the world."
    - Adam Yauch

    "Being together, writing and recording, we felt it would be irresponsible not to address what’s going on in the world while the events are still current. It didn’t make sense to us to wait until the entire record was finished to release this song."
    - Mike D

    "This song is not an anti-American or pro-Saddam Hussein statement. This is a statement against an unjustified war."
    - Adam Horovitz

    To be honest, those lyrics kind of suck.

    Cmon! "George Bush you're looking like Zoolander" is possibly the most thought out argument not to go to war I've ever heard. :rolleyes:

    Good beat, but the song lacks something that made earlier Beastie Boys music rock.
