Wow, how is it possible that no one's commented on this song yet? One of the best songs ever written. Anyway, it's about the apathetic feeling among America's youth when it comes to politics. This song was written almost 20 years ago, but is even more relevant today. The "Washington will burn with them" lines at the end refer to the fact that we've fought world wars before, and with the proliferation of nuclear arms around the world, a third one would destroy us all.
