I think people use signs and symbols like language to project a false reality. They do this also by the clothes they wear ect... Some people think it is enough to project and signal certain ideals and live in that kind of metaphysics, only to actually act fascistly. This songs is a warning to look through such tools of liberal rhetoric. California being the state that personifies it and Jerry Brown as the figurehead. |

I take this song to speak more generally about liberals in general. I feel like it is a criticism that beneath the veneer of love and equality lies a fascist impulse. "mellow out or you will pay". Haven't you ever been around a bunch of hippies and felt like they put pressure on you to be mellow, which seems like a contradiction Jello expounds on in this song. Anyways, i dont care whether you agree, songs are meant to be accessible to different personalities and perspectives. |
