Guys, this song is about Nuclear War. The lead singer is from Canada and was VERY much against the Reagan US. The analogy from Pole to Pole is correct. The US was going to blow up the world from Pole to Pole. If you were with the US you were ok, if you were against, then that was it for you. That's about it. There is a website that specifically details the meaning of this song as told by Ivan (lead singer).
