Rockin' in the Free World Lyrics

Cover art for Rockin' in the Free World lyrics by Neil Young

i thing it is about politics, the USA and so on, but I think it is also a very autobiographic song. Things he have seen when he was younger, like "Poeple sleepin' in their shoes", like homeless man; but I think Neil has also slept often times in his shoes, when he was on drugs.
