I had always thought that this song may have been about domestic terrorism - perhaps the Oklahoma City bombing - the line "On the back of a truck" has particular resonance there.
...though, on the eve of the 10th anniversary of the 911 bombings, maybe "And they lean like towers
On a hillside struggling to stand, Through these first few desperate hours" has some more (if not accidental) chilling power.
