I can't seem to figure out the meaning of this one. It does seem pretty political though.
We celebrate the downfall
with ticker tape parades
Oblivious to the fucking mess left lying in the wake
I think this talks about how we celebrate Bush no longer being president of the US, but we don't realize that Obama isn't going to magically solve all our problems and we don't see the real issues going on.
"God grant me the strength to let my children starve"
He whispered to the dripping roof
into the candled dark
This is a parent (probably, could be anyone really) who realizes how bad the situation in America is and is praying in his beat up house.
Contemplate contracts of gold
Just wave your hand and relinquish control
This sounds like selling out and giving up control of your life. Not sure how this fits in with the rest of the song, but yeah. Like I said before, I'm not entirely sure what this song is about, so that's kind of all I got so far.
