Pretty simple. Derek doesn't care much for politics and religion and all these other constructs we build around the absolute truth of the Kingdom of God - his allegiance isn't to all these peripheral things, but to God himself.
This song is simply Webb making a statement about not having any confidence in this worldly kingdom, but to have hope in the kingdom of God of which all Christians are citizens. Also, I think it is key to realize that Derek Webb is hitting a key point in the last little bridge part of the song. He is talking about being enemy of self. About realizing that we have a war going on within our self, we are half flesh and half Spirit. And the enemy "may not look like you think".
