I like Don Edwards -- in fact, I own a number of his recordings -- and I agree that things are terrible on many levels. But this song is politically incoherent, pretty much at the barstool-ranter level of discourse.

Any good protest song is going to offend someone. This one seems written to offend nobody except generic "politicians," every bonehead's favorite whipping persons. In complicated reality, all elected officials are not the same, nor are all political approaches and ideologies equally bankrupt.

Reading these words, one gets the impression that there are no solutions except in the loud recitation of cliches -- "take back our country!" "let Freedom Ring!" and comparably yawn-inducing slogans -- before ordering another round, most likely the eighth one. At least.
