Song lyrics
Will someone please radio for help
Cause I think I'm allergic to myself
They think they can throw us all away
Gotta stop it before it's all too late

There's got to be a better way
They dissect everything we say to try to make us feel this way

And you can take the one thing I have left
I'd give it all away for so much less
Could even take the heart inside my chest
And you can take the one thing I have left
Beat me to the ground and take my breath
But you can't take who I am

And I swear we were born to let you down
We scream but never make a sound
We point but don't know which direction
We are America right now

There's got to be a better way
They dissect everything we say to try to make us feel this way

And you can take the one thing I have left
I'd give it all away for so much less
Could even take the heart inside my chest
And you can take the one thing I have left
Beat me to the ground and take my breath
But you can't take who I am

How can I be (the same)
How can I take (the blame)
How come I am so tired of all these charades
How can I be (the one)
How can I hold (the gun)
How can I see if everyone else is to blame
Don't wanna be the (hey, hey)
Don't wanna see the (hey, hey)
Cause we point the finger
Think everyone else is to blame 
Everyone else is to blame

this isnt my favorite song on the album, but i still don't understand why nobody has posted anything...

anyway, I LOVE how his voice cracks when he sings, "They think they can throw us all away." does anyone else hear that?? hah.

I still don't fully understand what the lyrics mean but it sounds and the message they're trying to get through is great.

this is how i understand the lyrics:

he's talking about how america constantly points the finger and puts the blame on others when really the problem lies within us. they can take everything from us and treat us however they want, but in the end they can't take who you are and what you stand for. i think he's talking about God when he says, "And I swear we were born to let you down." because it's so hard in this day and age to share the news of God with others.

that's how i take it, at least
