     _____________________________________
    / Radiohead                          /  I think this song is about Bush and
   / Sail To The Moon.                  /  Radiohead's critical view on him.
  /(Brush the Cobwebs out of the Sky.) /  "Sail us to the moon" is a metaphor
 / Hail To The Thief.                 /  for brining up the third world war or
/____________________________________/  something because of his aggressive
                                       foreign policy. I think the album title
Hail To The Thief is referring to Bush as well because of the theories about the
election that says that he cheated himself to the post (actually Al Gore won
more votes, but just in the wrong states - just like winning the wrong balls in
tennis! Fucked system, isn't is?)

 (Brush the Cobwebs out of the Sky.)

  I sucked
  The moon
  I spoke
  Too Ssoon
  And how much
    did it cost?
  I was dropped from
  Moonbeams
  And sailed
  On shooting stars
  Maybe you'll
    be president
  But know
    right from wrong
  Or in the flood you'll
    build an Ark
  And sail us to the moon
