ITs amazing how stupid some of you people are why would he write a song like this if he wasnt being critical of american society u camn clearly see he is critiquing america... it basically tells the story of 3 americans and how the country has lied to them and well to make it simple fucked them over.... The first verse is about a sicilian family the moved to america because they were promised prosperity and it was never delivered and the boy write home tales of prosperity because his family is too proud to be poor. The second verse is kind of the same type of deal the Laotian refugee is forced to work in shitty conditions for minimum wage which isnt much better than he would have had back home... the third verse is just about hwo veterns get fucked over in thsi country... excuse my lanbguage but the way we treat our veterns gets me especially fired up
