The decline of an empire on the grounds of environmental destruction and uneven wage scales. I love the disjointed guitar "solo" in the middle. The narrator is jaded with liberal guilt about the situation. His dad being a government man and all and seemingly part of the problem with "the blood on my hands" lyric. His mother turned away or lost her faith perhaps [born of a "pillar of salt"] Imperialism, slave labor, economic inequality, pollution, who is to blame?
