I can't say I recognise the song, so I'm unsure of the context they're used in, but it seems to me to be some sort of prediction of a war in 2009.
"Schooled in the art of digital games" - the way wars are fought now. Almost like a computer game in terms of the technology used. "Everyone of colour put on the front line" - not sure about that at all. Is it used to refer to everyone who's NOT white, or does it include white? The meaning seems fluid depending upon this. Edit - let me add this is purely speculation. I really have no idea! [Edited 12/13/07 10:33am] So look into the mirror, do u recognise some1? Is it who u always hoped u would become, when u were young? | |

[Edited 12/13/07 6:11am] May i ask what he has predicted?, or do you mean his foresight into the future of the music industry? If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

Yeah, I don't like that song, but it seems he's talking of people becoming increasingly dehumanized and isolated in the digital age, and becoming desensitized to violence.
Then he goes on to predict that there could be numerous wars in the year 2009, and it'll be the people of colour who are gonna be used as the disposable troops on the front line. The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
