oh god, wow. i saw them live last week and they sang this song... wow. powerful stuff.
anyways, i agree. i think this is almost definitely about bush and american politics; when jake sang this song, he came out in a faux military uniform (with rhinestones!), and the light effects were imitating bombs in the background. those aside, though, this song just -sounds- like it's about war, corruption, government gone wrong... how dark it is, how sad. that's the feeling i get from it.
