Geez Scott--I was never one good at English or linguistics, so of all people don’t ask me.

Captial G refers to Geoge H. W. Bush III. The first verse seems to deal with how Trent may have voted for him, help get him elected, and then subsequently elected himself into a war in Iraq. The second verse may be G-dub’s argument that freeing Iraq is important. Perhaps the second verse also alludes to how our soldiers are dying to gain others’ (i.e., “have-not’s”) independence. The third paragraph (chorus)--not entirely sure. Perhaps he’s talking about the Christian right selling out their values in support for G-dub. The 4th paragraph (third verse) may be mocking G-dub’s “short-sided” disbelief in global warming. The 5th paragraph (bridge?) seems to be sung from G-dub’s perspective. Perhaps Trent is saying that G-dub wasn’t always as “evil”, power-hungry or otherwise “corrupted” as he is now. But his position’s power eventually corrupted him. Later (6th paragraph), perhaps Trent is saying that this ability to corrupt via “absolute power” is in all of us. In any event, it seems to be an anti-Bush song; that much, I feel confident.

Anyway--I don’t know. It’s a catchy song though. Didn’t know that you were a fan.
