This is a briliant comment on the U.S.A., a country with which MP have something of a love-hate relationship with. On their first album lobotomizer was already a tune which seemed to be about America (home of the brave).
What makes this tune special for me is that I listened to it a lot befor and after septer 11th 2001 and it strikes me how much the lyrics seem to be about everything that has happened since. What the singer (Bent) is trying to say, i think, is that nothing much has changed since the days of the Vietnam war, though a lot of people in th U.S. would deny that. These days they still 'barge in' (Irak), only on 'softer shoes'. 'Putting stickers on the darker hues', the media in the U.S. are controlled mainly by large corporations and aren't really objective about what terrifying things are going on in the U.S.
A new sheriff in town seems to be about George W. Bush, although i think they wrote the song prior to his election......
the bald eagle, well, we all know what happened to him. He became extinct. Who shot one of the last bald eagles? I think it was a president, but i'm not shure. The bald eagles seal is still used, even though the animal has been extinct for years. So is the american dream. They are still trying to sell it, but it has lost it's shine a long time ago.
