i can't beleive nobody has put this together, but the song is clearly about protesters, a la Nover 1999 WTO protests. the Staples Center, while also being in LA, was the site of one of the party's conventions (GOP or DEM, i can't recall, shows how much i care) but the protests were broken up by cops, surprise, with less than freindly methods. so beyond the Staples Center, ie beyond the face of modern politics, you can see the real America, which is what the protesters are 'fighting' for before being put down. who do you think the little children are? all the college students on the streets, and of course of those protesting only a tiny proportion are actually violent (most just sit down), which is the crack about the disproportioned malcontents. no more essays, this is the difinitive answer.
