Deify

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Deify" is track number four on the band Disturbed's third album Ten Thousand Fists. Many people believe that this song is directly aimed at George W. Bush because they use a clip of his 9/11 speech. David Draiman has said that

"The song's not specifically about George Bush, it's about people like him. It's meant to be cryptic and ambiguous. It's about attributing God-like qualities to politicians and public figures. That's why in the beginning you hear that sample from Bush's 9/11 speech. It's the perfect example of someone who was attributed God-like power, and deified. Whether it's Bush, the Pope, Ted Turner, or anybody else like that, it just warns of the danger of that sort of behavior, treating a human being like a God." - David Draiman
