I think what they are saying is neither anti-Bush nor anti-Obama. It seems to me that it's showing a trend - which is how the people are never happy w/ the results of their actions. We all blame the president but what about the government in general? I dislike both presidents but you can't push ALL the blame on either of them when they have tons of people under them making decisions as well. Back to the point of the song:
"Dear tomorrow,
Find some sensibility
Respond to emotion" -here he's asking the future to change and realize what we're doing wrong right now.
"Dear politician,
Define sagacity" -Alot of the politicians act like they have the answer and every one else is an idiot. he seems to be asking the politicians to stop acting like they've got all the wisdom in the world [maybe not the best answer here..]
"One after another, nobody stands behind the ones they have chosen" -The people are unhappy w/ those they have elected, referring to basically any President as all of them have had low points where people regret choosing them.
"All changes of survival are beginning to diminish" - maybe saying this cycle will eventually diminish and fade into when people realize no man can save us? i'm not sure here..
"Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies
Mass Media/Mass Pessimism/Mass Denial
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen" -here i think he's saying that we make fun of our leaders to put off the despair of how far they're taking us down but at the same time we have to look towards how we can make it better and be wary of what the media tells us.
"The apathetic force us to persevere
The apathetic, with their backwards priorities
If only the strongest of stone was not necessary" -everyone criticizes the gov but few actually do something to fix things. not sure what he means by the stone comment though
"We could build a memory:
Liberation includes failure
Your rebellion is resultless
So be angry at yourself
If only we did not deserve this" -All of the Political hate is fueled into a black hole of angst and criticism that no one does anything about so in the end its our fault.
Hope all this helped, again, i could be wrong but hopefully this is close.
