Actually, Sic is wrong. I listened to Lewis and the guys in an interview, and he said that this song is called "Alabama" because of how it sounds (like Alabama blues/rock).
Also, when Jesse writes lyrics, they usually aren't political in connotation, but personal to his life and his friends' lives. This song is about someone in Jesse's life, someone he and the band knows, who acts this way, selfishly, and without remorse.
