Love your enemies, that's what this song means to me. They were also born head first and ankle deep.

But some people are able to grow out of their skewed world view faster than others.

It's musically brilliant. You've just got to love the pause after "In grade 3 I had a written composition about the global threat of communism." And the strong ending is incredible.

'when you jump ship, you either swim for shore or drown. Don't let the fuckers drag you down.' - I guess this could refer to way ideologies polarise people and 'you're either with us or against us' mentality.
