Lyric discussion by bkabbott 

I'm amazed I haven't wrote on this:

I had a teacher talk about the follies of Capitalism playing devil's advocate. I almost wanted to send him this song. And I'm a Capitalist in that I favor Capitalism with some exceptions. Never sent it.

This is Fagen's imagine - the shit Fagen ripped him for lennon, dylan. Then he writes this song but its so dark nobody realizes he's doing the same fucking thing and probably knows it.

An error occured.
