"Driven by religion, running backwards down a one-way road
I've caused collisions, big decisions trying to save your soul.
Manifest destiny is just a fancy word for murder.
I got this feeling, its gonna stop..."
This is referring to the way religion has caused us only to regress further. "Running backwards down a one-way road" where progress is forward, and regressing would be backwards down said road.!
Religion has caused collisions (War), big decisions (could be referring to politics, and the way religion snakes it's way into the lives of everyone, via laws on abortion, gay marriage, etc.)
Manifest Destiny, if you don't know what that is, look it up.
"Turn this message into a pop movement. A fashion statement, call it politics. "
Here he's referring to how whenever someone brings up a valid point, it's shrugged off as some movement or statement, but it's never really considered. Call it politics (where nothing progressive ever gets done).
"You can mark my words they'll put a spin on it because its all been done."
Attempt to bring about some kind of progress and they'll put a spin on it.. even if you're a law-abiding citizen with something legitimate to say, those in charge don't want their perfect hierarchy to change for anybody. They'll make you look like a radical, change what you're saying and then nobody will support you. They'll spin what you said into something else. Look at Karl Marx.. he had legitimate ideas on how to better run a country, and when people started applying his ideas in real life there was unprecedented tension between countries, and wars resulting from an IDEA!
How do I know this is true????? Cause it's allllll beeeeen doneeeeeeeee. :)
Hey good post. But the bit about Karl Marx. His ideas were crap! It might have looked OK on paper, but it seems every time a country attempts to implement it that it involves tens of millions of deaths. So screw communism. Also what Marx did to Bakukin was just plain wrong. Bakunin's ideas were better in my opinion, but still doomed to fail in practice.

@SeanHarney That's the exact point he was making "and when people started applying his ideas in real life there was unprecedented tension between countries, and wars resulting from an IDEA! "

It seems like you've thought more thoroughly than all/most people here. I applaud you, sir/ma'am.
