Iāve recently been thinking deeply about this song and analyzing a bit, as Iām currently reading about Nixon and the bombing of Cambodia
From what I understand of this song (and excuse me if Iām wrong) is that itās a direct attack on all of the college aged hippies who think they know the world until their shipped to Cambodia where they would have to face reality in an actual tyrannical communist regime. To be honest, this song sounds like a direct attack on me lmao even though I donāt identify as āpreppyā by any means. I guess itās because itās the first time Iāve personally delved deep specifically into this point of history.
Isnāt Dead Kennedyās socialist, or were they for capitalism? They seem to be directly criticizing the socialist hippie movement through the line:
Youāre a star-belly snitch You suck like a leech You want everyone to act like you
Again, excuse me if Iām interpreting this wrong, but I figured this could bring about some relative discussion. What is the true meaning of this song? Have they ever specifically been asked?
