I can definitely relate to this song. I've seen "9-11" t shirts for sale on the boardwalk in S. Jersey quite a few times. And the first time I saw it, I had to laugh at how ridiculous a notion it was. Of course, someone like Nucleozoid was in earshot and decided to make a big deal about my reaction. It's a horrible event, there's no doubt about that in any sane person's mind.. but when people use it to their advantage, ie selling those shirts or using it as a political springboard (Rudolph Guiliani, I am looking at you), that's "cashing in on misery" as far as I'm concearned. All this song does is point that out.
