I legit actually like country music. Country music and punk rock. Both of them are just three chords and the truth

And man, when this song started, dude came in hot. I loved it. And then he went flying right off the rails.

Exactly what I thought, the first verse and most of the chorus is legit working class anxiety. The rest is blaming other victims of the system, and while it references "rich men," it contains no criticism of their wealth, the reference to taxes is more the opposite.

Well it kinda does criticize them, just only if they are located above a certain geographical point

A friend sent it to me, and at first I was hopeful... then I was like 'hmm... strange choice of wording' then I was like 'oh, that was deliberate' as it started to sound more like propaganda and less like a legitimate statement.
