Rise Against - State of the Union Meaning

State of the Union Lyrics
We're taking on water and about to fuckin' sink
No one seems to notice, no one even blinks
The crew all left the passengers to die under the sea
[Chorus]
Countdown, to the very end,
Equality,...

For a long time I didn't know this song was about the war in Iraq. I honestly thought it was about the lack of intervention during the genocide in Rwanda and Sudan.

If you youtube the video you'll find a live version and before the song starts he goes "This next song, is dedicated to someone we all know.. This song goes out to George fucking Bush, and his fucking war! It's called state of the union" so obviously it's about his hatred for the war and his hatred for our countries poor leadership.

Seeing Rise Against live, Tim explained the song; "This next song is a big F*uck You to George Bush and his stupid F*ucking war"
