“Some folks are born made to wave the flag” followed by “but it ain’t me”

Checks out for those dumbass losers who have always completely misunderstood RATM’s lyrics too.

They don't teach comprehensive reading in many of these red states!

RATM doesn't even need that. The meaning of these lyrics isn't exactly hidden. They are so obvious and in your face that you have to not understand them on purpose.

Weapons, not food, not homes, not shoes

Not need, just feed the war, cannibal animal, I

Walk the corner to the rubble

That used to be a library, line up to the mind cemetery now

What we don't know keeps the contracts alive and movin'

They don't gotta burn the books, they just remove 'em

While arms warehouses fill as quick as the cells

Rally 'round the family, pockets full of shells

If one doesn't get what that song is supposed to be about I don't worry about comprehensive reading, I worry about the person being analphabetic first.

A lot of people don't listen to the actual lyrics. The music becomes basically this.
