I love this song. It is talking about someone who chooses to take their parents lifestyle over another group ("the wrong group" as coined by thursdayfan4life). But that simplistic and isn't the whole story...it's about kind of being pissed about how somehow will take a stand for something important (like Patty Hearst feeding the poor) but the second things get bad (like getting arrested for picking up a gun and robbing a back) they turn their back on the cause and immediately go right back to their "silver spoon" (which to me is the wrong group and this is the wrong way to go about things). If you take a stand for something, it should be for something you believe in and you shouldn't get special treatment because you're rich. Patty Hearst got a full pardon from Clinton while the rest of the SLA are probably rotting in jail, and why because she's rich!!! What crap!
