Very creative, guys! Sort of a cross between "Smells like Teen Spirit" and early Pink Floyd! Having read the comments above, my thoughts are mixed. On one hand, it is easy to identify with the American cultural stereotype and expect a certain rage. But one of the identifying characteristics of true commentary is that it tends to simply make an honest statement from an individual's perspective. It is intriguing when we hear a perspective that is different than what we expected.

There is a circle of poverty, and it doesn't always end with rage. It covers the full gamut from mere disappointment to delusional grandeur to full blown living high in hopes of beating the system.. and everyting in between...and back again. So there isn't really ONE stereotype that is truer than any other.

In that sense I found it believable. On the other hand, the most colorful stories are usually the most extreme. The character in the song was tired and disappointed, but not terribly extreme... probably quite average in every way except income. He could be any of us.

But if one listens to this song expecting to hear rage, the disappointment of expecting something without getting it forces the listener into a mindset much like the one being expressed in the song. Interesting.
