Did anyone have difficulty decifering what they were trying to say here?

How about the Prison Song rant:

They're tryin' to build a prison
For you and me to live in

Once again, pretty straight forward.
They aren't even good lyrics.

I agree with whoever said they were like Playskool My First Political Band.
I'll say it again, if you want good politics in your music, I just can't find it in rock music. Rap is tenfold greater in my opinion when it comes to producing artists who can articulate a political message. Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, JMT. They all do it so much better than SOAD or RATM could ever do.
Country/Folk music also produces musicians who are just so much better at poltical music. Nu Metal is laughable, not political.
Good God, Quit going at B.Y.O.B and Prison Song, that's all you have been criticsizing. We know SOAD are weak when it comes to politics, now how about a comparision to their other songs, mainly their older stuff. And don't give the general "simple chord ****" because that is pretty narrow minded.

and kinda like what Boo Boo said, dismissing a whole genre as bad loses your credibility.
