This track is about witnessing the USA's "elite" being willing to sacrifice the lives and well being of working people in a global pandemic.
lyrics
Feels like the walls are closing in
Feels like the sun is going dim
Feels like hell is freezing over
Social distancing means I can't use your shoulder
To cry on, I'm not gonna lie
Some room to breathe would be fucking nice
The weight bears down inside my chest
As I wait to see what happens next
Die For Your Country
Means die for wall street
Because capitalism
Is their religion
Waging holy wars
On the working poor
Because capitalism
Is their religion
Will we keep our jobs? How will we keep our homes?
Are we forever doomed to this survival mode?
Is it the end of days? Is it the seven plagues?
Or are we just going through growing pains?
I want to believe in a better world
I want to believe in a better life
But right now it feels like time is still
As I walk this tight rope circus line
I could write a thousand songs about this
and use a thousand different phrases
and tell a thousand different stories
about a thousand different faces
but the poor will still be poor
and the cops will still be racist
yeah we need something more
in about a thousand different places

I got to the party late, but boy am I glad I made it. This album meets, exceeds and challenges all sonic and writing expectations one has of a punk album; poetry set to punk. Definitely the most punk thing I've heard this year. CMRuppert12
