This is just one of the debilitating ironies of American democracy that the song addresses. O.K. the next one is pretty obvious. As you say, pretty simple. It is about the ludicrousness of showing our gratitude for the conquest of this nation, and many others, by gorging ourselves on dead birds. You sound like you really hate Christmas.
Hate is a pretty strong word.
I would say that I am more resentful than hateful. The song pretty much expresses my feelings about the holiday. This was the first song of the collection, as far as writing goes, and inspired the whole project. I wish that I could be lighter about it but, instead, I want to take a lighter to it, Christmas that is. Well that's all of them.
