    I've listened to this song at least 100 times and I still get goosebumps when he says "what you choose will never matter because everything is mine."

      Disagree. It's disputable. But judging by this song at least he goes in right direction in abortion topic. Also he isn't whining about kids in Hooters. So this song undisputed even for me.

    I've been watching for this one to come up from you. THIS is why I homeschooled my grandkids... they got to be kids with limited outside information, yes I sheltered them! Tom has a gift to lay things out in a comprehensive manner that brings clarity! The baby girl verse brings tears to my eyes for my granddaughter, and now she is married and expecting her first girl in July.

      Many Americans are waking to the challenges we face. Protecting our children is paramount. Homeschooling is necessary to protect, nurture, and educate them..
      Best of luck...

    He's not singing to the children as their dad. He's singing to them as the system. The system itself is tell the children that they don't have a chance, that everything they'll encounter has been predetermined.

    He said one of the hardest hitting lines in any song ever. "We'll empower you with rights to vote and fight for equal pay. Then have the men turn into women and you'll fight for them again" my man's is a lyrical genius how he can put all the things we all talk about and think into rhyming bars

    Always love your reactions! The look on your face while he sand to the baby girl made it obvious that you would have something to say. The lyrics in this song say a lot, but the visuals make the video. Tom as the personification of the system dressed in all black with the red eyes talking directly to babies to let them know what they're in for.

    Collective action can be a powerful tool for change. On the other hand if you want to maintain the status quo and keep people from working together, then sowing distrust, fear, disagreement and desperation in the public can reduce cooperation; even between people with common problems.

  • @Crunkz21
    @Crunkz21 Рік тому +1

    "Violence is a symptom" is probably the deepest statement in this song. I dont think that people inherently want to be violent, but refrain to it when there is no other option - THAT THEY THINK (important part). Cuz I am quite sure that if you split up humanity in groups of 100 people, for example, and give them the choice to sacrifice one human each year, or (also for example) starve to death, every single one of them will do it.
    That's why it's so important to have social systems in place to meet basic needs of people that are at their bottom. If only to keep them from doing things that're harmful to society, but on a survivalistic level very understandable.

    Coming from a Christian background (and still going to church every week), as far as what I can tell, the system exactly as he describes it, is sin and or the devil itself. Been working on this System since the dawn of time literally. it works slow, but it has always been heading the same direction.

    This is the song that turned me on to Mr. MacDonald.I had seen his name and the thumbnails in many reactors pages and just wasn't interested. At 51 I am pretty set in who I listen to anymore musically. Well, I am guilty of judging a book by its cover. I was wrong!! My son came home one day and told me I had to listen to this. I was H.O.G. before the song was even over. Been loving his music ever since. And even if I don't like "the music" I will still support him because of what he is saying and doing. He is becoming the voice of millions of people whether he realizes it or not.

I don't always agree with his points of view in all his songs, but that's ok. I don't know if he always does either! I think he is just trying to start the conversation.

    When this song came out & I first heard it, i felt like it haunted me for almost a week - really affected my attention, my sleep, even my diet. I’m not “blaming” the song. Just saying that the message clearly disturbed me.
    What’s weird is that Tom didn’t say anything I didn’t already know - but he just has a way of phrasing his ideas that make his lyrics hit different. Profoundly different, in this case.
    It’s a song I appreciate, and one that I think is important for people to hear - especially people who need their world view shaken up a bit - but for me, personally, I can listen to it only occasionally because it leaves me feeling hopeless.
    His other political songs drop a lot of truth bombs too, but I feel like they all contain at least a nugget of encouragement-or, if not, then they usually have a “speak your mind” vibe, or a “resist wokeness” vibe. This song has a “you’re screwed” that leaves me feeling hopeless.
    I don’t know….
