I take the 'outsiders' to be the left--the liberals left feeling out of place and unrepresented by the Bush regime. This song beautifully describes that feeling after 9/11, when Bush said that anyone not for him was against him. What a strange environment it was, somehow anyone who didn't thinka long with the ultra-right didn't love their country. The Q Tip part is amazing, brings tears to my eyes and inspires me to fight for that ideal that some of us still believe America has a chance at becoming.
