-This song is about various American demographics: military wives, babies, soldiers, celebrities, and so on.
-This song is a commentary on how American life follows predictable patterns. "And the anchorperson on TV goes....la de da de da," demonstrates that news isn't really new but rather a sort of repeated, recycled drivel. The song also speaks of disaffection and apathy, doubting that individuals possessing "pristine liberal minds" will ever solve the omnipresent issues in our society. Of the powerful directors of media, a similar statement is made that out of 18, "only seven really care." Finally, the group mourns the harms of such behavior, citing 15 cannibal kings. The recurrent quantification serves to generalize and eliminate nuances. Additionally, the repetitive music, furthered by its constant beat, cements this idea of apathetic patterning.
