about

Towering over London is the Shard, a vertiginous symbol of the massive gap in wealth and power between the capitalist elite and working people. Owned by the corrupt, billionaire leadership of Qatar, an authoritarian Gulf state, the Shard's luxury apartments service a life of grotesque, material excess. Down below, millions of working people endure a crisis of affordable housing, partly caused by the speculative property investment and money laundering of those very same elites. Global capitalism is a pestilence that needs to be snared and brought under control. The song is an overture to the themes of the album. It imagines a near-future, environmental disaster and an insurgency backed by popular support, where both the Shard and its power structures are dismantled.
