This was the opening track from American singer-songwriter Tori Amos' ninth studio album, American Doll Posse.
Amos is well known for her left-wing politics and in this song, she attacks President George W Bush. However the singer-songwriter later admitted in an interview with the Sunday Times June 14th 2009, that some felt that she had gone too far with this critique. Amos explained: "I was very vocal with the song… I paid a price for that. And yet, I stand by it every step of the way. I got blackballed on some levels. People wouldn't carry the work here and there - it's not good to give names, because they might be coming in on this record and I'm a f---ing hooker, so I have to take what I can get."
American Doll Posse was a concept album consisting of five different female characters based on Greek mythology that Amos developed, each representing different aspects of her own personality. The character in this song, Isabel, was based on the Greek goddess of the hunt, Artemis.
