Brett’s explanation of the song is super exciting and playful! He says it’s all about the tri-lateral commission, which was this awesome group commissioned by the government in the 80’s. They were like a super smart think tank that made a ton of important policy decisions for the U.S. government. And get this, an oligarchy is like a monarchy of three! So since the tri-lateral commission had three parts, it’s basically saying that the U.S. government is an oligarchy. How cool is that? Brett’s not totally sure if it’s true or not, but it’s still a mind-blowing concept! [1]
