i feel an important theme missed by interpretation is the allegories used pertaining to protest and how too often police put down protesters who arent violent.
"Here arm-in-arm
We parade these streets
And sing our songs
Is there even anything left to explain?
Am I really someone you need to restrain?
Can’t you listen to what we have to say?"
i think this song is more about how we, the voicless millions, ought to be protesting not just the government but the way of life. the life offered should be more than just putting food on our plates, and otherwise we should be trying to change things if that's all our lives are.
