Like Elvis and America on The Unforgetable Fire this seems to be an improvisation. But this song is more structured and the lyrics more coherent. Howie B co-wrote Elvis ate America and laid the rhythmtrack and is shouting Elvis trhu out the song.
I think this is kind of defence and celebration of Elvis Presley and his life.
The line, Elvis ate America before America ate him, is very good. Elvis was bigger than anyone thought in the 50´s, but in the end the world had finally caught up with him. But depsite that, his achievements are still as much as relevant now as then.
