speaking of Liar, last night i dreamt that i was watching TV, and suddenly a video for Liar came on, and it was so... gorgeous. i remember saying that it reminded me of the Thief video, but different.
"if the nuremberg trials were applied to us foreign policy, every us president since 1945 would have been hanged." noam chomsky.
...and this is me hanging on / i'd burn our initials in the sun if it would shine / anxiety chokes me like razor wire / if hate's in your heart man, you'll take what you're given / wake up / i'm not the only one / it's never goodbye / go ahead and play dead / if everyone's a casualty, then take your time, there ain't no trouble / these wounds they will not heal / ambition can be a tricky thing / what the hell do i know about rape anyway? / this is not what i hoped for / ain't it so weird how it makes you a weapon / who will be there to tell me how stupid i am? / those living for death will die by their own hand / and it's me that I am spying on / pick up the pieces and live with the stars / hurry up and wait / things have never been so swell / they're always the ones who slowly drift / be great / ...and this is my world.

I tend to agree with that point. The song is quite obviously modeled after U2. It's fine for the album, but I'd just leave it at that.
Picture would be a poorly timed single, I think. To go from A/L/S which is fairly soft (compared to other "rock" music on the radio), to a ballad with Picture seems kind of sloppy. A/L/S wasn't much of a chart-topper, so I don't think Picture would do much/any better.
The obvious choice of the three is WTFBU. It would be the only one of the three with a chance at popularity. A/L/S wasn't the rousing success I had hoped it would be (and WAY wasn't an astoudning single either). If you're looking for a song that will be popular, go with WTFBU.
Personally, I'm not even going to bother voting. The one song that I had hoped would be released already was. Then they went and ruined it with that shitty video.
