• This song continues the album's theme of "the first world manifesto" by claiming that American society is dominated entirely by the wills of large corporations: They tell people what to like, what to buy, and not to ask too many questions. The singer laments in the end that he doesn't know what to do now.
• The title is taken from the 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The line is spoken by Dennis, a repressed peasant played by Michael Palin. >>>

• The lyrics tell us to "Check out Chomsky and Zinn." Noam Chomsky is a renowned linguist, philosopher, and social critic; Howard Zinn was an American historian/political scientist and socialist thinker who wrote the influential non-fiction book A People's History Of The United States (1980). Zinn died in 2010, a year before First World Manifesto was released.
