After I heard this the first time I felt they chose the title as irony, since the return of the Saints to the Superdome was accepted by most of America as a sign of NO's resurgence when in reality, the city is almost as fucked up from the floods as it was right after they happened.
"We have seen the change
from the season of the storms
the irony
the cleansing
with all our lives at stake
from at rest to the present
are sitting high among the elect
on march the saints."
These lines suggest to me that the writer sees what's going on, how instead of taking care of the real problems the underprivileged in NO have had the last few years they got football. The Saints might be inspiring to some, but they aren't gonna shelter or feed anyone.
