Good song and question

It's come to our attention
Life now is bound to change
While we the peaceful majority
We sit back and anticipate

These are our days now
These are not the same now
These are not the same
These human beings are dangerous
Their greed is contagious
Now the world it waits

These people they attacked our freedom
Their weapons technology and hate
Lives were stolen without warning
Brothers and sisters now erased

These are our days now
These are not the same now
These are not the same
These human beings are dangerous
Their greed is contagious
Now the world it waits

How do you interpret this song? Maybe I should try and find it somewhere as to what he is saying here, before I ask and make a fool out of myself by writing my thoughts.

I mean it seems pretty obvious. Spet. 12, the day after, life has surely changed. I get that.

I'm sure I'm stating the obvious here, but, I hear this song as though he laying out the fears of both "sides". And by sides I don't necessarily mean us and the "terrorists", but more between all of us who are simply caught up in it all. Mostly the innocent who get caught up in the real bullshit, which to them, even if they have a clue why "we" are there would be a very scary situation.

Anyway, I'm curious if someone can tell me their thoughts or the exact meaning behind Xavier Rudd's lyrics in this song.

I love the melody of the guitar-like instrument and his singing and of course the dige. To say he is an amazing artist is definitely an understatment.
