This song is obviously about the environment, and in a way, the economy. "Buying bread and paying for none, creatures of a waning sun," is such a great lyric about us as americans, we spend more than we save, and do it on a whim. This song is a great way to show the turbulent times we live in, while I may disagree with many of her liberal viewpoints, I think we can all agree that global warming, the need to get off fossil fuels, and save more than we spend are great ways to "Shine Over Babylon."
