I love the meter of the chorus.
I think this song is about right now in the US - well, maybe not now, cause its like the US before the Occupy Wall Street movement.
The chorus, "what happens when you think patience always means wait" is one to make you take a double take. definitions of "patience":
1.an ability or willingness to suppress restlessness or annoyance when confronted with delay
2.quiet, steady perseverance; even-tempered care; diligence.
if you live like the first definition yeah, that's 'wait' ("wait patiently for change") whereas the second definition means plod steadily towards change ("work patiently for change")
And then there's my favorite line: "Scrape the resin out a pipe dream,"
