This song, to me, makes a political and underlying backslash at the way our technological society is upbringing newer generations. We do not expect people to accept their consequences anymore, which ultimately will lead to our country's greatest downfall. We are now focusing more and more on material advances than a whole-hearted, and stable family tie. The older generation was brought up with a mind set that they do not have to face their problems (hence the allusion to the parents), and the newer is even worse. This song, clearly coming from the more radical approach that the band members of Bad Religion, is what our ultimate society in America is coming to. Sad yet truthful.
