Lyric discussion by DasBear017 

This song is just about America in general. How we have emerged so quickly as a world leader, while only being three hundred years old. America sometimes doesn't seem readt for that postion, other times it shines. It has its ups and down, just as the song suggests.

True. And now its collapsing.

@DasBear017 - As Benjamin Franklin said long ago: "Ignorance and arrogance is never a good combination, but seldom in short supply." How asinine of people on here to suggest that a Canadian band wrote a song about the USA being a so-called world leader. Simply ridiculous. It's about the type of person who struggles with societal advances, especially in technology. Speaks about most of us.
