Einstein vs Oppenheimer (father of the atomic bomb). The game may never have happened hence the theme of the song. The dumb look refers to the famous photo of Einstein sticking out his tongue, often used by media and a source of embarrassment to him.
The “TV will make a fool” refers to Einstein’s quote about technology, when sufficiently advanced, producing a generation of idiots.
A brilliant album! It is really hard to pick a favorite as they are all amazing works of art. The lyrics are all very potent and real. Light a Fire conjures up a very vivid but more unusual picture but every track has me gripped and listening. Another deep and meaningful album which is very well put together. elly-t
