I swear this Slayer song is the bestest evah! This goes up there with War Ensemble it's just a pure onslaught and the whole rhythm of the lyrics at this bit:
Still I know that in the end
I'm expected to pretend
That I can't think for myself
Blame it all on someone else
Half hearted smile
While you look the other way
Gets me every time, the solos are pro too - how can Kerry King just mess about on the whammy and put some random notes together but make it a memorable solo? It's crazy stuff!
Anyway, the song meaning is as Child_uv_KoRn says, it's about the whole US government and in some parts I think it's specifically about Bush. "I can't relate to your verbal idiocy", think of the number of times Bush has said something really stupid.
"Complacency is your demise" - i.e. if you don't do something about it and just sit on your arse being complacent you will pay the price!
