You lose your humanity. Many people in this country and perhaps even the world I'm not sure are asleep. They are turned off from their dreams, hopes, and wishes.
They are numb because of prozac or a number of theraputic drugs. They have no energy because of diets such as the Atkins or other fads. This allows more people to become faceless and under control. I believe that is the gist of this song. If you don't think Maynard has any meaning behind his lyrics, "Idea" or otherwise, you are clearly an incompetent fool. With that said; Sheep are stupid animals that can be herded together in groups, are generally indistinguishable from one another, and think nothing of it.
Hence, the general public would be the sheep. The "I" in the song would refer to the government, more specifically bush, but applies in a less specific sense also.
The government wants you to go back to sleep, aka a state of unawareness so that they can control you. The "I" presents choice and reason as the enemy from which it will protect you. Meanwhile, while you are asleep, the government slaughters an obscene amount in war hence counting bodies like sheep. Lastly, the government wants to "isolate you and save you from yourself" or otherwise "save" you from your individuality and individual rational thought.
The whole song once again presents a very patronizing and controlling tone while it tries to demean the "enemy". It is very sarcastic, and almost seems to poke fun at the lack of intelligence of the average person who will blindly follow a corrupt government.

God Bless America! God help us! Mattyc-OH mattyc on February 07, Link. Before I start I'd like to add that during interviews Maynard states that his songs do have meaning. Srich on April 09, General Comment Honestly, and don't go off on me for my own opinion but I personally think that this song can be interperated however we wish. To me, it reminds me of someone's need to protect someone from any possible harm - whether harm from themselves or another person.
I say this because "I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices" and "Isolate and save you from yourself" sounds like something a mother or father might say to their children, seeing as how I have heard this several times in my lifetime. Then again it impacts me because it reminds me of the Soldiers at war and how they wish to "protect you from your enemies and your choices. Have you seen music video's these days?
Unlike everyone here, I have not heard these "porn sounds. I grunt when being kicked in the stomach, so the sounds you may hear could because it's a representation of someone being hurt.
There are voices, girls and guys, but i don't hear any sex sounds honestly. I hear fighting, anguish and moaning Pain, not from sex. Confusing lyrics happens a LOT. Nonetheless about the song's possible true meaning - It rocks, i go into a sort of Unless lyrics are straightforward and make it OBVIOUS what the song is about, more than likely the artist wants the person listening to simply interperate it their own way. Music is a powerful thing so when we listen to a song and try to find a meaning that was never specifically there in the first place, it makes us listen to it more, buy more of their cds and have your own meanings to a song.
