I am you have taken my comments in the manner intended. Iwas worried about sounding snide.

Is this the usage of lyric intended? 2 a : expressing direct usually intense personal emotion especially in a manner suggestive of song

I said

I don't think "a good lyric poem" is what she is aiming for here. She spends the first stanza painting pictures of what she thinks is wrong then spends the rest of the song preaching at us that we should do something lest America become one big subdivision"

I think that is what she has done in the song. Is it correct? I don't know. But apparantly it sells. I will for now defer to her judgement as she is the successful songwriter/label owner and I am not. Guest Are you a successful songwriter? Publisher? Label owner? Informed opinions are more valuable that anonymous ones.
