Lyrics
We hit snow on the road to Laramie
We encountered challenging conditions, likely obstacles or difficulties, on the journey to Laramie.
We all heard about that mess,
We all became aware of a problematic situation or issue.
But that town ain't nothing different
Laramie, the town in focus, is not fundamentally different from other towns in some aspects.
Than the rest

Poor man do the bidding for the rich man
Impoverished individuals carry out tasks or work for wealthier individuals.
Those rednecks are just doing
The term "rednecks" refers to a certain group of people who are following the mindset of the wealthy class.
What the classy fuckers' thinking
Less privileged individuals emulate the thoughts or actions of the more sophisticated class.
And tolerance it ain't acceptance;
Tolerance is not the same as acceptance, indicating a distinction between mere tolerance and genuine acceptance.
I know you wanted it to be,

Hey coalition lay down your mission
An appeal for a collective group or coalition to abandon their current objectives or goals.
What we need is a little addition,

And the weight of the law
