The song holds validity in interpreting the country we live in today, as not the land of the free, but the land of JESUS. The USA's media and society is so overriden by what we need to believe in, and where we will all go when we die. The song can be directly compared to Leaving Jesusland by NOFX, as they both hold the same meaning in defining our country as a land of God, when the land is supposed to be about freedom, but being as things have obviously changed for the worst, the United States of America is no more than a land of disunity, because the true citizens are the ones who believe in what THEY choose to (i.e. atheists, agnostics, naturalists, etc.); because we do not realize we're sheep in a herd slowly following the alpha sheep off of a cliff to our own inevitable deaths.
THINK. FOR. YOURSELF. DO NOT LET THE LAND YOU LIVE IN DEFINE WHO YOU ARE.
