      True punks are prophets by dissatisfaction. Their dissatisfaction runs so deep, they are able to touch a nerve on the current socio political climate, taste it, and let their inner dissatisfied intuition run it out to its figurative outcome, and then somehow articulate the emotional response into a warning.

Voting has no bias to any system of government. The importance of voting is that it establishes the representation of the collective whole. It literally prevents direct misrepresentation. Now you can argue the philosophy of mandatory voting, but it doesn't remove the fact that it allows for the people to be represented on their choice. They might have systemic political problems, but that's irrelevant to mandatory voting.

    To anyone trying to relate this in anyway to the current political climate in the US on either side left or right, this song is not about politics generally speaking. It has a heavy message about people in power using what they perceive as religion as a basis on their own political motives and justifications for the actions that they have taken.

Since perception is your reality their reality that they fashion as the veil is lifted is that everything is just starting to fall into disrepair despite it having always been that way they were just unable to see the harsh realities of the world we live in.

      Jake Witmer sociopaths are highly intelligent and not necessarily thieves, intact that is highly unlikely. Morality is subjective, what you deem immoral might be moral to others. Sociopaths don't see things as immoral in the same way you would as someone who is a well adjusted member of society.
