The entire point of the song IS that nobody's thinking about the answers to our imminent problems. (And don't bother denying they aren't there. Two weeks ago, the World Wildlife Foundation announced that the planet's ability to sustain life will have been totally obliterated by 2050.) Most of us just sit and believe that some "omnipotent" outside force will let us do nothing - progress, the Rapture, Fukuyama's "end of history" line, determinism and historicism in all their forms. That's what Bad Religion is about and against.
Even though I disagree with the reason given by ltjpezgirl, I generally agree this song needs to be blasted on radio stations across America.
