Comments and Song Meanings

Ha ha, the meaning of this song is VERY simple. It's about SJ's hatred and disgust with George W. Bush.
"Incriminating notes on a paper chain" and the "feeling" that we've "been cheated" refer to the questionable elections.
"Time winding down" and "half-measures" refer to how the investigations were only half-assed and never really followed up with.
The stuff about "standards", "cowboy boots", and wanting "clever" but settling "for stupid" are just straight-up knocks at W.
The chorus's lines about "walk on by" and "keep breathing" probably refer to all of the scare tactics after 9-11. We're supposed to be freaked out by Threat Levels and suggestions of bio-weapons.
And, of course, the line about "Good King George" is obvious.
The lines about thugs and crime mock W.'s weak responses to mundane, state and city-level concerns.
When the chorus mentions "this moment will pass", he's talking about how W.'s run is almost up.
The refrain is SJ's plea for people to take a closer look. The lynch pins are the political talking points and the major issues that really matter, instead of the nonsense and mud-slinging that we can be easily distracted by. "Hope we don't get fooled again"
SJ's expresses his disgust with the portions of America which adore and support W. when he mentions the "cold, quick-sell-out, hillbilly nation"
The ending of the refrain mentions sand, soldiers, and "fake enemies". He closes it with a plea to bring the soldiers home.
I thought this was a WONDERFUL political song, however, the album Ursa Major was delayed so long that Bush was out of office when the album was released, so the point never really got across. Bummer.

It's difficult to figure out what he's trying to saying in these verses... can someone explain? These lyrics seem so piecey.

Okay well these lyrics are sorta wrong. They're more like the newest version of the song though. The older one is completely different, but still, it's a good song. This might be an in-between version.

There must be different versions of this song because most of the lyrics on the version that I have are completely different. One of the greatest bands, though. All of the members are extremely talented at what they do. At the time of this posting, only 53 more days until Ursa Major comes out!
