  • @shinichi8213
    @shinichi8213 9 лет назад +8

    Does anyone know if this song was meant to be ironic? Because it sure does sound extremely ironic extremely when you compare it to his other songs. The cover of the album also seems to depict a rather negative image of America.

    • @menacedemort2878
      @menacedemort2878 9 лет назад +3

      Shinichi Williams If you are talking about the part where he says "Don't you love America?", yes it's ironic. But, the rest of the song is just how America was at that time.

    • @IsmailofeRegime
      @IsmailofeRegime 8 лет назад +8

      +Shinichi Williams The message seems to be "America is a great country, but it has done bad things. Also I hope World War III doesn't happen." Rick James and Prince made similar songs around the same time ("Funk in America/Silly Little Men" and "America"), which isn't surprising since the anti-nuclear movement was at its height in the early-mid 80s.
