30 years from now, republicans will use this song at their rallys thinking it glorifies “the good ol’ days”
Not a chance in hell. If you listen to the song he’s channeling a lot of Woodie Guthrie energy and dragging Trump and Miller. I hope he goes on the late night shows to support this song because you know if does he’s gonna have Woodie’s graffiti on his guitar [This Machine Kills Fascists]
I hope you’re right and maybe it’s just that I haven’t gotten a chance to list yet, but the imagery “city of fire and ice” give me Tolkien vibes. We need to form an army of the free people, a coalition of dwarves, elves, and men ……
I think your underestimating how little facists actually care about truth and meaning. They will ABSOLUTELY try to play anything that they like at their nazi events, just like they tried to play Rage Against The Machine at Alt-Right rallies. They ain’t actually internalizing ANYTHING meaningful about the media they consume, they just love the aesthetics.
Facts just like they claimed rich men north of Richmond. Too ignorant for their own good, think they mean whatever their supreme leaders tell them.
Its intentional.
A play on their over-use of Born in the USA thinking it’s actually saying good things about American society. They clearly didn’t listen to the lyrics on that one either
Exactly. All they hear is the catchy hook.
They probably think Mellencamp’s “Pink Houses” is patriotic too…
Yeah but I think Bruce has figured that out In this one there isn’t any hook except a bit of ICE OUT
An understandable but unfortunately dubious assumption to grant Trump’s base.
I’ve been wondering where all the protest songs are. There should be dozens of popular ones at once like in the late 60s and early 70s. Then I realized that they are right there - where we left them.

Thank you.
They made music for art and voice those days.
The current mob are busy hiding in their mansions.
