"Hear the sound of the falling rain,

Coming down like an Armageddon flame (hey),

The shame, the ones who died without a name,

Hear the dogs howling out of key,

To a hymn called faith and misery (hey),

And bleed, the company lost the war today,"

This is basically saying that no matter what happens in this war with Iraq, we lose. Many people died and are still dying. Both American and Iraqi. It's saying that war is hell and regardless of the outcome, there is no winner. The hymn of faith and misery is the hymn of war. The company is America.

"I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies,

this is the dawning of the rest of our lives,

on holiday! "

Ths chorus is saying I refuse to listen to what you tell me about this war. I refuse to believe that there is any good in it. I refuse to submit to your lies that this will bring about a better life for us or those we are fighting with and for. And if we do submit and believe what you are telling us we have to understand that this is the beginning of the a new, (not better) life for us. We are on "holiday" if we give up and belive these lies.

"Hear the drums pounding' out of time,

Another protester has crossed the line (hey),

To find the money's on the other side,

Can I get another amen? (Amen),

There's a flag rapped around a score of men (hey),

A gag, a plastic bag on a monument,"

This is simply telling the story of what is happening in this war. If you cross the line, we'll shut you up. There's money in this war so no protests will be heard. The plastic bag is the gag on the Statue of Liberty or the Lincoln Memorial or any of the monuments that represent life, liberty and freedom in this country. This war goes against many of the liberties we say we believe in so we have to "shut up" the voice of the monuments screaming for justice.

"The representative from California has the floor...",

Zieg heil to the president gas man,

Bombs away is your (pun-ish-ment),

Pulvarize the Eiffel Towers, who criticize your (gov-ern-ment),"

We'll shut you up by any means necessary. You mess with us, we'll bomb you.

"Bang, bang goes the broken glass man,

Kill all the fags that (don't a-gree),

Trials by fire, set it fire,

It's not a way that's (meant for me),

Just 'cause... (hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey),

...Just cause, because were outlaws (yeah)"

Point blank statement. The US will kill you if you don't agree with us. But that's not the way for the writer of the song. This song says don't kill me because I don't agree with you.

The whole song is saying that not everyone agrees with the lies and excuses given by our government regarding this war. That if we give in, we are condenming ourselves to live like this forever. If we stay on holiday regarding what's going on in the world, we might as well learn to live with the opression and lies.
