I like the small stories Nathan Willet creates about the lower class and the struggle of American/immigrants here in the U.S. I found myself listening to Cold War Kids a lot while taking my Sociology class. He definitely hits at class struggle and trying to find that escape route from that stress in a lot of songs. I think he voices the unheard, on a general term, in all his songs, and most of it is silent suffering. Like in this song, the man is escaping America in anyway he can-taking the communion money.
