I've been on a Five for Fighting kick recently, and this song made its way into my iTunes. I must say I was pleasantly surprised (not that all of his songs aren't amazing as well).
I think this song is about how much America has changed in just fifty years or so. Things used to be so much simpler and easier, and everyone was united. Now it's one nation divided up into millions of "slices" in our great big "American pie".
It's paying tribute to the way things USED to be and showing how things COULD be eventually.
I love this song. :)
