Love this song. Kind of a lost classic by Against Me!, if you will.
It's obviously political, in a sense. I think it's about how the world is a scary place and how it's constantly changing. Obviously "Russian spies, they dont scare me anymore" is a reference to the Cold War and all the hysteria that surrounded that period in American and global history. The rest, I believe, is sort of a personal narrative about how you feel if you're an anarchist, radical leftist, whatever, when you live in a war hawking country.
Russian spies, they dont scare me anymore... because there are much bigger things to worry about now. Quite an evocative song. It calls to mind another Against Me! song of its time, High Pressure Low, which is also about war.
