| This song, I believe, is a slap to all of those hollow artists out there who have found it's easy to be cool and edgy and sell lots of albums when you're constantly talking about how the government is so evil, despite the fact that they haven't truly put much thought into how to improve what's broken...aside from "impeach (insert patsy here)." All these artists are doing nothing but cultivating a generation of youth who will rebel against anything so long as it's cool and never ever devote any of their brain-cells to independent thought. Awesome, compared to bullshit...indeed. | |

| I'd say that's a pretty good idea of the song! Is this what you think, or is it an actual thing? | |
