Yeah, I think it is referring to the New Orleans disaster and the U.S. gov'ts failure to assist as they should have. Because of the ongoing war in Iraq the equipment needed was overseas. The less then sacred referred to in the song to me symbolize the minority groups that took the blunt of the disaster... If this had of been a mainly white middle/upper class area i highly doubt we would have seen the same devastation. Instead of being treated like fellow human beings many were treated as criminals as they tried to gather supplies needed to save their own lives... sad.. very sad. Great song tho! and yeah.. we all really need to learn to sing out for those people who cant.. sing out for our rights and freedoms ... that would be my two cents :)
