My favourite next to Freedom Like a Shopping Cart off Heavy Petting Zoo. This song I feel is pretty self-explanatory. The fundamental idea of the song is actually given to the listen in the first lyric line. I think he's talking the innate greed in America's economic system, and how its power over the public has lulled people to believing they "want what [they] dont need". I think this message is also perfectly exemplified in the chorus when he says "You've taken when you should've give away." Corporations' inherent greed has been instilled within the public conscience and now we too are takers instead of sharing our wealth with others. This notion of course stands in direct contrast of what it means to be a philanthropist, but of course anyone familiar with NOFX knows that this is just their typical humourous irony.
