Ummmm i read in an interview, or maybe more than one interview, which i believe were from american magazines, that this song is taken from the band hearing stories about the fights their dad and his friends used to pick when they were younger. this was of course before his dad became a preacher or decided he wanted to become one.
I believe that Caleb said that Huffman, who was one of his dad's friends, decided to pick a fight so that event is what the song is about. the four kicks refers to the pack of four friends that caleb's dad and huffman were included in. I think this all makes sense when you look at the lyrics, which, taken from the album jacket are:
"Huffman don't take no nonsense
he's here to rectify
he's got his black belt buckle
and the red mans fire in his eye
You with your switchblade posse
I'll get my guns from the SOUTH
We'll take to the yard like a cockfight
four kicks who's struttin now"....
there's another verse but I don't feel like writing it.
I highly doubt there is any political message in the song....i'm pretty sure it's just a song based on a story from the past. it has nothing to do with abbie hoffman or whatever.
