Hey your part of it
Yeah your part of it
Hey your part of it
Yeah your part of it
I walk the streets of a Carolina
Watching people pushing shopping carts
And there's a guy above me
And he's washing windows
Making ten bucks a pop
And he says to me
Hey your part of it
Yeah your part of it
Hey your part of it
Yeah your part of it
And I said sir, well have you heard
That this country is un-equal still?
History continues itself
Continues itself
History continues itself
And I did not create the rules
From all I've heard
And all I've seen
This place has broken
My American heart
From all I've heard
And all I've seen
This place has broken
My American heart
Hey your part of it
Yeah your part of it
Hey your part of it
Yeah your part of it
Yeah your part of it
Hey your part of it
Yeah your part of it
I walk the streets of a Carolina
Watching people pushing shopping carts
And there's a guy above me
And he's washing windows
Making ten bucks a pop
And he says to me
Hey your part of it
Yeah your part of it
Hey your part of it
Yeah your part of it
And I said sir, well have you heard
That this country is un-equal still?
History continues itself
Continues itself
History continues itself
And I did not create the rules
From all I've heard
And all I've seen
This place has broken
My American heart
From all I've heard
And all I've seen
This place has broken
My American heart
Hey your part of it
Yeah your part of it
Hey your part of it
Yeah your part of it

When I saw them live (11/17/04), right before he played this song. He said, "This here is a song about America," someone in the crowd yelled, "AMERICA RULES!!!" and Travis said, "Well...that's under discussion..." and Aaron said, "The land sure is nice, but I dont know about the other stuff."
So I agree that they are against the capitolistic portion of America
