What is the meaning of Coldplay's song Viva la Vida?
The song's meaning is not clear, some believe it to be connected to the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte and what have you, others see it as a link to Jesus Christ and his crucifixion. The dispute over the meaning of the lyrics is down to ambiguous words, and diverse lines. The song could be connected to dictatorship such as Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, and Saddam Hussein, the opening line is "I used to rule the world, seas would rise when I gave the word." This implies dominance. And another of the lines says "Listen as the crowd would sing, now the old king is dead, long live the king." This could certainly be linked in with Saddam Hussein, who killed the ruler, and ran the country himself. But lines such as "I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing," make us think that the song is more religious based. Those in favour of the idea of Viva la Vida being secular (non-Christian,) use the concept of Dictatorship to define the lyrics.
In conclusion, the meaning is obscure, but the most likely contenders are the idea of faschist dictatorship, and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
Persumably, as they were mentioned in the 2005 flick "The 40 Year Old Virgin" by David (played by Paul Rudd) and their song Viva la Vida has topped the US Billboard Modern Rock Charts and the Billboard Hot 100. Very big here...Every concert I've ever been to over the last 4 years has been sold out. Now that their Viva la Vida album is out their the hottest thing going! They've been #1 on Billboards top 20 for the past 3 weeks!! ARE YOU KIDING ME??????!!!!!!!!!
THEY ARE THE BEST!
No. There's only one song by Coldplay that has swearing in it, and that's Lost+ (Lost! with a rap from Jay-Z, who said the word).
Word of advice: If you like Coldplay, you'll HATE Lost+. That doesn't mean Lost! and Lost? aren't great songs, though.

Check out this site.
http://www.mycoldplay.com/home/2008/07/12/sheet-music-for-coldplays-violet-hill-and-viva-la-vida/
It has all of Coldplay's best songs in Pdf. form. It's Great!
Or alternatively, instead of looking at a dead-end site, go here:
http://www.abcmusic.net/download/free-sheet-music/265/coldplay/lost.aspx
There's a small download button on the right side, but it has it. If you don't want to download it, then you'll need to look for another. The music itself is not perfectly like the acoustic version, but it's good enough that you can improvise it to.
The one with the question mark is an acoustic version of the song, and the one with the exclamation is the one on the album. There are also two more versions of the song, Lost+ and Lost@. Lost+ features Jay-Z, and Lost@ is a live version of the song.

A ton of money is worth how much?
It's simply a saying (colloquialism).
To try to get a true answer to the question, you would need to know the exact weight of a coin or bill and divide it into 2000 pounds.
One $100 bill weighs about a gram. A thousand $100 bills would be 1 kilo ($100,000).
So 1 million dollars would weigh 10 kilos or around 22 lbs. A metric ton would in $100 bills would be worth a hundred million dollars.
If it's a ton of 1 dollar bill and every dollar bill weighs 1 gram, and each metric ton is 1000,000 grams, then it's a million dollars. Note that a ton is a 1000 kg, which is 2205 pounds.
