The trial which produced the quote from the middle "Have you left no sense..." is featured in the film "Good Night, And Good Luck" if anyone wants to know more.
The song is about the way that fear can be used to motivate people and was then applied to Reagan and the way he focused on supposed external threats from the USSR which we now know to be fabricated.
