My cousin is convinced that this Radiohead song is directed at the Bush administration from the world community. I think it could be directed at any hard-headed person not inclined to compromise (even Ralph Nader) or admit to error. At the very least, I can agree that it fits quite well with Bush.
Lyrics:
i don’t know why you bother
nothing's ever good enough for you.
(by the way) i was there and it wasn't like that.
you’ve come here just to start a fight
you had to piss on our parade
you had to shred our big day
you had to ruin it for all concerned
in a drunken punch-up at a wedding
yeah
hypocrite opportunist
don't infect me with your poison
a bullet in a china shop
when i turn ‘round you stay frozen to the spot
you had the pointless snide remarks
of hammerheaded sharks
the pot will call the kettle black
it’s a drunken punch-up at a wedding yeah

Correction from the cousin: I hypothesized that this is directed at US and its failure to sign the Kyoto Protocol. The Clinton administration, as well as the Bush Administration, did not fight for its ratification.
ah, my bad. :)
