I believe this (phenomenal) song alludes to a possible crumbling dichotomy of American Democracy and capitalism. Maybe Wilco is not political and I am reading too much into the song... To me, it is perfectly reasonable.
We once belonged to a bird
U.S. of A. belonged to the bald eagle
That cast a shadow on this world
U.S. involvement in worldly affairs
You were a blessing and I was a curse. I did my best not to make things worse for you... that isn't true.
This is America talking to the other countries/ethnicities, and implying that the reasoning behind the involvement was really different than stated initially
I always knew this would be our fate. This is was happens when we separate.
Karl Marx warned that Capitalism would eventually destroy itself... Nothing man is involved with is pure. He just can't let it alone. He has to tinker.
And the beat goes on. observe the rest of the song and, with your own perspective, digest it yourself. All this babble is what I see with my mind's eye... and it's honest with me.
All this aside, I completely agree with "carrot rope jive" as this ad bull black nova are the two most epic songs on the album.
Hands down.
Hands back up... okay... hands back down.
