Overview
Edit
The lyrics were written in response to allegations of fascism/nazism directed at the band. In the song they say "my heart beats to the left, 2-3-4", meaning they are on the left of the political spectrum. The refrain is an allusion to the revolutionary song Einheitsfrontlied, written by Bertolt Brecht for the Communist Party of Germany in the 1930s and re-popularized by Hannes Wader in the German Democratic Republic.[1]
Music videoEdit
The music video for the song uses CGI to portray the struggle of an ant colony against attacking beetles. During the video, the band can be seen playing on a movie theater screen. There is also a right hand covered by ants near the end of the video.

Can one break a heart They wanted my heart on the right side Can hearts sing They wanted my heart on the right side Can one ask a heart They wanted my heart on the right side Left two three four |
