blergh! it's an amazing song in it's own right. the thing i love about the minutemen is that they're political but not in a really overtly preachy, rage against the machine way. it's more observational. apparently d.boon wrote it after a trip to mexico in 1982. "the injustice of our greed" - sums it up completely.

I read somewhere that Mike and D wrote it after a trip to Mexico, so it's about their sadness at that country's problems and helpessness to solve them.
