The recurring theme in this verse (and song as a whole) is Vinnie’s struggle with understanding what he’s here on earth for and what the point of life. He’s not concerned with the trivial things his friends do, he has a more urgent matter (understanding his purpose) to take care of.

Alcohol is linked to many problems, physical and emotional. (Broken homes, liver cancer, contributes to death, etc.) But Vinnie doesn’t care because he realizes he’s going to die anyway, (possibly soon according to the previous line.)

On another note: Vinnie is a follower of Islamic religion and it strictly forbids the consumption of alcohol in small or large quantities. So he could be saying he doesn’t give a fuck even though his religion forbids it.

Lead singer Tim McIlrath has said that the essence of the Endgame record is all about inspiring the next generation to stand up and take action against an oppressive and unjust government:

Maybe the world we currently designed isn’t sustainable. Everything from our political framework to the toll the environment takes and our appetites towards war and religion. We’re hell-bent on survival, but it’s only when these problems collapse and get dismantled that we can learn from these mistakes. The civilization born out of this worlds’ ashes will hopefully be attainable. Our whole record is trying to paint that picture.
