@[michaelw0u:20524] I never said the song was about Donald Trump, genius. (I'm sure!) I know Alan Parsons Project is from the 80's. It sounds to me like they were on the losing side of an issue from way back then. It fits that it's political, because the lyrics suggest frustration with an outcome that leaves not only his peers, but even their children in uncertainty, and nobody wants to hear his opinion. Sounds like he wanted the unpopular candidate. The author could have been opposed to Ronald Reagan's reelection, for instance. |

I think it's a protest about politics. Helps that I feel this way now. ..." What do we do now? What do we tell our children? Now that the exact opposite of the candidate I want is in office, and his plans for the future sound like doomsday to me, I want to leave the country. I don't want to stay here, where my opinion means nothing, and quietly fade into irrelevance. And what do you care? You believe all the lies they told to get their candidate into the Oval Office? Who even cares if I was right all along? Even if I told you the truth would you believe me? It's hopeless. " The frustration of the lyrics is vivid. It's obviously about being on the losing side of something, and not being able to convince anyone of yours That's my take on it. |
