This song is certainly a critique of people LIKE Bush. From a prominent New England family, Bush naturally speaks with a new england accent. He is certainly not a Texan and does not have a natural southern accent. Though he was educated in Andover for prep school, it is very close in proximity to Cambridge. He did go to Cambridge to attend Harvard, so it can't be discounted. Carrabba is referencing Cambridge prep schools for the idea of them, while not specifically attacking Bush. I do believe that this song is directed at him. The "time in the sun" and the "tenure with us" is what really proves it for me. The key word is US. It would mean he worked for "US," a group of people. The American people. It is pretty indisputable here, everyone. This song, while he does not give direct attacks on Bush, is directed his way. You don't just directly attack the president in a song. You do it a roundabout way, as Chris has done. Well done, sir.
