Even though this once again contains sports, it doesn't mean they haven't done anything to help America. It has before, so why can't it this time? We need to take pride in out country and bring it up to what it can, and SHOULD be. These verses are about how America can bounce back. The only thing people can have without worry if it being stripped away is Social Networking and Sports. (SOPA, PIPA, BSL, etc.) People can't find jobs, people are losing homes, losing family because of poor health care. Other than freedom of course, but even that seems to be under siege. What they don't understand is that those sorts of things are the only thing America offers to people. We are worried that these obsessions could ruin families and friendships. As a country this is what we wanted, and now people are fearing it. People always seem to say that these kinds of obsessions are bad, and yet WE created them.
People feel like they NEED to watch Football. I think when he says/sings this he saying it sarcastically. Everyone is to busy obsessing over these things to realize that the world as they know it could be changing. That is of course listing all of things our Nations people have become blinded by.
General CommentI believe that this song is a reflection of how Americans are losing themselves in the 'american dream.' Becoming ignorant to the dire state their Country is REALLY in.
