4. “World Wide Suicide” - Pearl Jam (March 14, 2006)
The lyrics depict anger against the war in Iraq, and criticize the US government in a subtle manner. Vedder has said that “World Wide Suicide” was written largely about Pat Tillman. Vedder said:”It’s about him and a bunch of the guys who didn’t get as much coverage - the guys who barely got a paragraph instead of ten pages…The thing about Tillman was, he got ten pages but they were all lies. His family is being blocked by our government from finding out what happened.”

don't know if i agree but hey, to each their own
Nice to see WWS get a nod. Don't know why that song is never on the radio anymore. What a shame:(
