    Is it a cover of the Led Zeppelin song of the same name? I used to listen to Five Iron Frenzy in high school when I was still a Christian.

    It’s cool to hear that they are real Christians who act like Christ would and defend the downtrodden like they’re supposed to. I would think that criticism aimed towards conservatives from a famous Christian band would have more impact, not less.

      doesn’t seem to be, from the opening “They’re at the fences , They’re at the border , Your brand new gospel , Deny them any quarter , You’ll want a blockade , You’ll draw your swords , God save your sovereignty , From syndicated crime-lords , Completely righteous , Save a little slandering , God blessed your district , With lies and gerrymandering , This revolution will not be televised , Unless ethics can suddenly be advertised”

        Cool. A political message is right at home with their sound. I’m impressed that they’re willing to piss off a large portion of their fan base with these lyrics. Right on.
