Faithless - Bombs

Apparently this video was banned by MTV in the USA as being too controversial!!! That reminds me of a line from Apocalypse Now in which Kurtz, the renegade American leader of a brutal, rag-tag army fighting the Viet Cong says;

"They train young men to drop fire on people. But their commanders won't allow them to write f##k on their airplanes because it's obscene! "



Bombs

If I don't get out of this I I wish, I just want you to know that I really really love you.

So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

We think we're heroes, we think we're kings
We plan all kinds of fabulous things
Oh look how great we have become

Key in the door, the moment I've been longing for
Before my bag hit the floor
My adorable children rush up screaming for a kiss,
and a story, they're a gift to this world
My only claim to glory
I surely never knew sweeter days
Blows my mind like munitions
I'm amazed

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world can ever hold
We're just children, we're just dust
We are small and we are lost
And we're nothing, nothing at all

One bomb, the whole block gone
Can't find me children and dust covers the sun
Everywhere is noise, panic and confusion
But to some, another fun day in Babylon
I'm gonna bury my wife and dig up my gun
My life is done so now I got to kill someone

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

Controversial? Or dangerous? You know, cause people might actually start to, like, think and stuff. Corporate censorship at large!

Just as well the move was as dumb as it was ineffectual. Apart from getting people to move from TV to YouTube I can't say what exactly the ban has achieved?
