I talk of freedom
You talk of the flag
I talk of revolution
You'd much rather brag
And as the decibels of this disenchanting discourse
Continue to dampen the day
The coin flips again and again, and again, and again
As our sanity walks away
All this discussion though politically correct
Is dead beyond destruction
Though it leaves me quite erect
And as the final sunset rolls behind the earth
And the clock is finally dead
I'll look at you, you'll look at me
And we'll cry a lot
But this will be what we said
This will be what we said
Look where all this talking got us, baby
You talk of the flag
I talk of revolution
You'd much rather brag
And as the decibels of this disenchanting discourse
Continue to dampen the day
The coin flips again and again, and again, and again
As our sanity walks away
All this discussion though politically correct
Is dead beyond destruction
Though it leaves me quite erect
And as the final sunset rolls behind the earth
And the clock is finally dead
I'll look at you, you'll look at me
And we'll cry a lot
But this will be what we said
This will be what we said
Look where all this talking got us, baby

The 'speach' portion of the song sounds like a minister preaching about the end of days - aka the end of the world.
My take: "I warned you, I prepared you, I instructed you, I told you what to expect, all the signs and seasons together today"
The title probably holds a clue as to the complete meaning of the song. The curious punctuation (comma after the word "White") s
...seems to call attention to the word. There's a reference to Jesco White in one of Live's songs, but after reading his bio, I can't see any connection. My guess is that he is referring to white supremacists. While the snippets of preaching (which sound like they are coming from a southern white guy) sound somewhat biblical, and certainly apocalyptic, they could be uttered by the leader of any group trying to control their disciples.
@TobintheGnome If I have my facts straight, the words were from a recording of a radio station preacher. I'm South African, so I could be wrong though! ????
