I love this song. It's about human hypocrisy, all kinds: personal, cultural, community.
I especially love, "we only sing about it once in every twenty years--" the idea that the popularity of protest songs moves in cycles, and people get excited about their armchair activism for awhile, but it always dissipates.
@sharkycharming yeah this song is amazing and I think you hit the nail on the head. What a band, whose music holds up today. I listened to it again recently and it's still as great an X song as it was when they recorded it. The remastered version is even better.
