Another thing: I hear a lot of people arguing over whether the song is about America as a bully or if it's about the media. According to the band, it's neither. They said that it's about taking something as horrible as war and just reducing it to numbers. It's about how we try to justify things by taking the human element out.
I don't remember where I read that, but I do remember reading it.

Colin Meloy is king. Even when he's being a douchebag.
Decemberists are royal family. Even when they're at war.

This is an amazing video and song. I can't stop listening to it!
:)
But sadly, that is what is going to happen to the USA if we keep up the bull shit we're doing now.

I was so focused on the video that i forgot to listen to the lyrics. o.o Meh, I have 'em all memorised, anyway. I love how the little girl's standing guard at the end. :3

Indeed, it's based off of his second film Rushmore, which is one of his girlfriend's favorite movies.

I just saw Rushmore yesterday, and I picked up on the comparison right away. Brilliantly done, both the movie and this video parody.
