If I'm getting this correctly, this song is about aliens coming to
kill the president. Weird! Easy song to strum on your acoustic, this
is the only song I've heard from this band and I've only heard it
because Thom from Radiohead sings in it. I had a bit of a problem
with the lyrics, I'm not sure they're a 100% correct. Also, in the
choruses, sometimes it's hard to hear if they say 'Kill the president'
or 'They kill the president'. Doesn't really matter anyway. Tune
down one note to play along with the CD.
Nov 23rd 2001. Just got corrections, fixed the lyrics and the title.
