Who is responsible for the lyrics?
Can you please cite the source, not the url, but the person who painstakingly put pen to paper and generated this text? I am not a Coldplay fan, but intellectual honesty is all we have....

I was drawn to this thread because:
- I'm a "fan" of Coldplay's music
- In so being, I've delved a bit deeper into what their lyrics may be telling listeners
- I firmly believe that mainstream artists/entertainers are working in the same power pyramid as the rest of humanity, and those who are "enlightened" [or should I say "illuminated"] enough to succeed greatly in the industry are privy to the inner workings of said pyramid more than the average Joe
- I find the OP's premise to be worthy of consideration
- the video for "Life in Technicolor ii" shows the band as puppets
By the way, for you who clearly dislike the musicians, your input on this thread is negligible. Your disdain for the band, which in and of itself is acceptable, is clouding your poor attempts at discourse with childish emotion and reactionary posting. What would possibly convince you that artists are not capable of witnessing and commenting on the zeitgeist of our times? That's what artists so often DO. Disliking a band is fine, but add something besides petty insults to your commentary, or else save it for your own angry mind.
