Manic Street Preachers reference

[Rockable]

Ok, I guess this has been mentioned before, since this song is pretty old, but I just found out yesterday and thought: "wait, did they just say what I think they said?" And they do:

"Little boys with dangerous toys
All bow down to the Beastie Boys
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing"
-Freedom of Speech won't feed my children, Manic Street Preachers

But I don't understand it, I have to admit. Who are those little boys?:confused:

I'm not sure, but there's a Dalai Lama reference somewhere in there aswell, so maybe there's a link in that. Usually 'little boys with little toys'...well, I mean I'd interpret that as kids with guns. Probably wrong, but yeah anyway I'm pretty stumped. Not even sure whether it's a positive reference or what now, it's beyond my intelligence.

Oh, and Holy Bible era Manics (y)

Where do the Beastie Boys fit in to that? :confused: Yeah but I think "little boys with dangerous toys" sounds like they're talkin about kids with guns too.
