Bad Religion - The State Of The End Of The Millenium Adress [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Neighbors, nobody loves you like we do
Neighbors, your government has triumphed
In finally making you a public fit
For the 21st century
Never before has a governing body
Shown so much concern for the economic
Well-being of its subjects
Today we have insulated you
From countless factions who threatens your financial viability;
Such as the poor; the idealistic foreigners still
Clinging to their childish notions
Of social welfare; why, you're even kept
Uninformed of useless propagandist journalism
That reports alleged violations of human rights
(We all know they wouldn't have been punished if
They hadn't been doing something wrong!!)
And who better to dispense such
Blatantly evident factoids
But a self-appointed authority like myself?
Acid Rain is a thing of the past...
Too many possible causes, too little significance
For our modern thinking public
Besides industrial manufacturing is at an all time low anyway
Who needs those narrow minded laborers anyway?
Too many mouths to feed
And to many burden on the pay
Roll! Who needs 'em?
Here in the land of the free-time
Some other ass backward country
Will give us what we need
By exploiting its uneducated children
The Internet has expanded our ability
To pacify average Americans better than ever
By offering fantastical adventures
To every corner of the imagination
Your home office is the window to your world
And the heart of your social life
Such reclusive behavior helps clear the roads
And public works from overburden
Like the lower middle-class and others who depend
Shamelessly on their government
Today you are freer than ever
To do what you want, provided you can pay for it!
Remember, the first word in USA is US
We have arrived neighbors, we are the privileged elite!
