According to [[Trent Reznor]] in [http://www.motor.de/motormeinung/motor.de/nine_inch_nails_der_apokalyptische_reiter.html this interview] (German), "Capital G" refers to Greed, but can also be applied to political figures in the present day. (President George W. Bush, God, "Green" (Monetary systems)). Before performing the song on [[2007/05/24 Osaka, Japan|May 24, 2007]], Reznor said "To my friend George Bush."
