only 2 comments? what a shame. I like this song. I think it's more about the Church then the government though- "Of the people who would keep us on our knees". But overall it's saying that even if someone did come along who did know the truth then he would be condemned for it (kind of like Jesus himself, how ironic, when its the Church doing the condemning in the song).
