This song is an amazing commentary on our commerlized lives. the American DREAM is a joke. It doesn't exist. Our freedom was the END of soooooo many lives in soooooo many other places in the world.
but the way Oberst puts it all is amazing. It's like yeah I want to be proud of my country, but the truth is we are exploting the world. it's all about money and power and it's passed on the techincality of "freedom" and that we are furthering the American Dream. What dream?
We need some goddamn hope. We need a yellow bird. We need something. Or else yeah lets just press a button and blow something up. WHat's it to us? we're furthering the future of the best country in the world.
