I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics the first time I heard this song. The second time around, I immediately realized it was about the Iraq war. "This list" is obviously the growing list of American dead from the war, and "get 'em out" refers to finally getting the troops out. An incredibly powerful anti-war song from a band that has largely been non-political.
