I find it more like a military-government thing. Since Max is there, he has this custome to sing song about that.
So, in a way it is a conversation between Matt and Max; imagine Matt is a young adult recruit and Max is the President. So, Max promised him many things for him to fight, actually promised him to be with him in war while fighing, but eventually Matt finds out he's out there alone.
So, imagine those soldiers that are left behind, who hoped to be rescued by their government who always say they will be with their soldiers all the time.
It's like a hypocritical message by the President who says will lead his soldiers to victory, also the message that tells they are worth for nothing else, but to fight.
You need directions and protection. People need their soldiers and me (President).
About: tell me the truth is a little confusing, but it can be the soldiers asking for the truth.
The fists can be their guns, which the Army taught them to use. So, they protected him but also helped him come through their misery.
In the end, these soldiers can become the worst enemy you can ever have. So never understimate them. You prepared them, you trained them, you sent them to fight, you left them there rotting, don't get scared when they come back for answers.
