The Beaten Generation, The Beaten Generation Reared on a diet of prejudice and misinformation Open your Eyes, Open your imagination |

Wake up and smell the supersize Big Mac and Fries, The Yanks are being mocked. If this song is about relationships or insecurity, then I’m the King of Denmark. This song is about post 911 imperialistic America and its hypocritical and laughable behaviour. The song is being ironic, knowing it will be lost on the yanks. Ironic really. “with an M-16 you'll feel the surge of your American past” Ring any historic reliance on any military bells? “if you star-wipe all your past away” Uncle Sams Selective Memory “But I’m still waiting for next week's chemical blast” WMD….. still waiting “lola, lola, will the world end me and you” Bigotry dressed as patriotism. Can the rest of the inhabited planet all be wrong? About relationships…. Heavens, its worse than we could ever have imagined. |
