The line with the question mark is "adolescent comfort's gone".

The second line with the question mark is "it's plainest just to say"

This is easily the best song on the album. It's about one of the earliest and most dedicated white allies to the civil rights movements. But it's also about the South today, how racism hasn't really changed much in many places, and it's a portrait of how other movements (queer rights, homophobia) will have to advance. "Another america" is a slogan the queer rights movement has picked up on, actually. One day we'll get there.
