They act as though they are concerned about the people and issues struggling in our country, but when it comes right down to it, it's all about money and power. "You act concerned but then why turn away, When a lady was raped on your doorstep today, Well your blacks are cryin' but your back is still turned, And your freaks are dyin' but your back is still turned, You better stop your hidin or your country will burn" I believe this part is talking about the government. Many choose to believe there is no world outside the cushy one that money brings them. "With all of your money the poor can be fed" Rich people have more than enough money to live comfortably, many have money lying around in bank accounts that will never even be touched, yet they choose to ignore the millions of people that could desperately use even just ten dollars. It takes on the attitude, that people don't care about one another, they only care about themselves. I'm not entirely sure if it's talking to the country as a whole or just the government when they say "Golden country your face is so red, With all of your money your poor can be fed, You strut around and you flirt with disaster, Never really carin' just what comes after." It speaks about the ignorance of our country and the selfishness. The 'golden country' isn't really quite so golden. The United States "Golden Country" is supposed to be a country of equality and equal opportunity, but it's not. Well your blacks are cryin' but your back is still turnedĪnd your freaks are dyin' but your back is still turnedīefore we leave we must make a stand, oh yeahīrilliant this song is just brilliant. When a lady was raped on your doorstep today Your security lies in your bed of white foam You better stop your hidin' or your country will burn Well your blacks are dyin' but your back is still turnedĪnd your freaks are cryin' but your back is still turned Never really carin' just what comes after You strut around and you flirt with disaster With all of your money your poor can be fed
