plus i love how rebelious she gets... she's celebrating that she CAN record this no matter if she didn't get major label backing in the beginning.
I think it's a response to xenephobia to her lyrics... i didn't know about the american reaction to her, but that makes sense.. anything foreign is terrorist.
"The village got on the phone
said the street is comin’ to town"
That's what she sees her message as, i reckon, the third world bringing their authority to the first world. The last lines have got a real sting to them
"bird flu gonna get you
made it in my stable
from the crap you drop
on my crop when they pay you."
all that hype and paranoia about birdflu last year coming from all these far away places really shook some governments up. She's like saying that if it was manufactured, they almost had it coming, and it'd be made of the pollution suffered by third-world countries.
Her music is like that, their ignorance and neglect of foreignness that they like to call terrorist, is coming back to get them.
(Deforestation and dumping due to industry for FIRSTworld consumer products has the brunt of it's impact on the THIRDworld which creates it. )
