First of all I love the song, band, and album. I could see how this song has to do with drugs/alcohol/addiction. But the reference to "Capitol Hill" makes me think the song is poking fun at our government. I believe this song is talking about how corrupt our government is. "Where did our fathers go" could have a connection to the founding fathers of the U.S. The Classic Crime is saying God left DC because He knew there was no hope for our government. There are multiple references to people wandering around and possibly drinking or doing drugs which I believe is referring to washed up politicians. "We take all the good in the heaven around us and turn it to hell" is a final poke at the laws we make and how they are ultimately bad. This all just my opinion and I would love to hear what your take is on this song.
The band is from Seattle. "Capital Hill" is actually a section in downtown Seattle hence "Jenny left from Idaho and made her home in Capitol Hill
In a 300 square foot studio above a coffee shop near the Broadway Grill". The Broadway Grill is in Capitol Hill. So definitely not a political song.
