    / Radiohead                          /  I think this song is about Bush and
   / Sail To The Moon.                  /  Radiohead's critical view on him.
  /(Brush the Cobwebs out of the Sky.) /  "Sail to the moon" could be a metaphor
 / Hail To The Thief.                 /  for Bush misguiding humanity into a
/____________________________________/  third world war. I've also heard that
                                       this song could be directly dedicated to
his son, Noah, and for them to find a safer place to live (hence "in the flood
you'll build an Ark). Generally I think the album title "Hail to the Thief"
refers to Bush as the thief. Al Gore won more votes in total, but because of
the election score system he didn't win the post - just like winning more
balls but still losing the tennis-match – obviously, this is a bit more serious!

 (Brush the Cobwebs out of the Sky.)

  I sucked
  The moon
  I spoke
  Too soon
  And how much
    did it cost?
  I was dropped from
  Moonbeams
  And sailed
  On shooting stars
  Maybe you'll
    be president
  But know
    right from wrong
  Or in the flood you'll
    build an Ark
  And sail us to the moon
