I think people misunderstand this song. It's not about politics or politicians. It's about the record industry. "I'll grab my pen and write about Kryptonite, so you can feel all right." Direct reference to 3 Doors Down. Not bashing THEM by any means, but basically saying how record labels don't want artists to use their music to talk about anything REAL or potentially controversial. They want you to talk about benign subjects that won't offend or alienate listeners because it's all about money, not art. "Industrialized" "sold out" "sucking corporate d__ks". All referencing how the music industry is just that, a business, not a way of spreading art to people. "We'll always be the same no matter who you are." Label heads and A&R people will change, but Nothingface will not stop sining about what they want.
