Cover art for Blue Tag lyrics by At the Drive-In

this is a long shot, but "burning on the borders like we said we would", like quarreling middle easten countrys?, iraq-iran conflict or something to that effect, and "with 12 hard years of currency, we trade it all for the current scene", the government ignoring the peoples needs and spending all tax money on armed forces.
