What's this song about?

1
Put your guns out on the table
2
Throw your bullets on the floor
3
This weary old house can't take it anymore
4
From the ovens in the kitchen
5
To the chains out in the dirt
6
Rope hanging in the bedroom
7
That's some of our dirty work
8
The distant sleeping shadows
9
That lie out in the yard
10
The wind that distorts the meanings
11
Of who we really are
12
Saluting of ourselves
13
As we pass by our mirrors
14
This show of phony adulation
15
Just masquerades all our fears
16
So we open up our eyes at midnight
17
See the setting of the sun
18
Foundation is crumbling
19
The inner structure's gone
20
Used up by corruption
21
And the passage of time
22
We hope we've got some fight left
23
Cause our children
24
Our children are dying
25
So we think that forgiveness
26
Is a God given right
27
And equality for all
28
Is just a waste of our time
29
With our nickel plated Jesus
30
Chained around are necks
31
Handing out verses of scripture
32
Like we wrote it down ourselves
33
Respect that we once had
34
Went up the water spout
35
Tried to keep it secret
36
But the secret was found out
37
Got to thinking high and mighty
38
Like everything was a lock
39
Some now say this house
40
Can be taken without a shot
41
So the hole gets dug deeper
42
With every wedding bell
43
And we sell each other down the road
44
Until there's nothing left to sell
45
And slowly but surely
46
We disappear without a trace
47
We point our fingers at each other
48
And say what the hell happened to this place
49
Without a shot
50
Without a shot
51
Without a shot
