I can't help but get a sense of President Bush in this song: "in the sound when the levees break" and "with watermarks on a pillowcase" are lines that seem to refer to Bush being totally oblivious to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. This seems particularily true with the verse:
"But all the grace is gone, gone
And all the tired scorn is gone
And all the fire is gone, gone
But the reveal is gone, it's gone"
It seems like Bush had some grace to his job (I'm kidding...really) with the "mission accomplished" and stuff like that but he's gone. So is our tired scorn for him, the fire for our government has been put low by recession and it seems impossible to reveal what is in our future. It seems like the band is saying "It's nice to know you work alone..." to the ex-President Bush because we all know (because of Obama's outstanding job so far) the President doesn't work alone but somehow Bush got that impression of his job, probably because he has ADD and Dyslexia brought on by lots of cocaine.

This i think is an ironic song about how God will supposedly fix everything.

Genius, it does make more sense that it is about God and not bush!

Levees breaking and stained pillowcases. Hmm, I think we're talking about uncontrollable crying.
