Which may explain lyrics that are so vague no one really knows what exactly they are talking about. I for one never got an anti-Trump vibe from the lyrics. Song still gives me more of a Pearl Jam / Riot Act era vibe than anything else. I don't hear SG or U2 at all.
"Where's your vocabulary? Your ignorance is sinful" Is clearly a jab at Trump.
They did say it was recorded last month. I wonder if they put it out so quickly for the tour and to just make a statement along with the walk-outs etc. Maybe, just maybe, it might not actually be indicative of anything from the new album. Maybe.
Those lines could be directed at all the people supporting the NRA/Republican Party in the gun debate. That idiot blonde that goes on rants, or any number of Fox News "reporters" Its just vague enough where it could be about anything and anyone, including the Koch brothers and Trump himself.
This is Ed we are talking about. its definitely Trump.
Ed apparently wore a Trump mask with CAN’T DENY ME written on its face during the last South American show so I guess that settles that.

he took the impersonation too far, however, when he groped a female crew member

Anyone think this song would be better if it was 25% faster?

Ed might actually die on stage if he had to transition from the chorus to the verse 25% faster than the already non-existent time he granted himself when he penned this exceptional timeless masterpiece

it's definitely better, in the same way that eating a dry, sun-baked dog turd might not be as bad as a fresh, hot diarrhea

Well, as is, Ed can't breathe. I want him to breathe, and then be grateful.
But I prefer faster.

B, if you're trying to give Ed a heart attack you're going the right way about it.

I was gonna make a joke about it being great background music for a Target, but they already beat me to that one.
