I belive this song is about demanding us to return to the American dream and wake up from America's Corporate nightmares. To be real role models, break the cycle of greed and restore America.
For those who failed to understand the message of the song, the song is not about belittling the country, but about:
"The millions of people who had their history written for them, and how they felt they couldn't escape it. It's about being told what to do, about being told what to believe in — which is, in a nutshell, the story of America's youth."
Bob Boilen
To some of yall this song may be "un-American" and unpatriotic, but if you think about it, this song is straight Americana, America was built on rebellion
You better toss your bullets
You better hide your guns
You better help the children
Let 'em have some fun
You better count your blessings
Kiss mom and pa
You better burn that flag
Cause it ain't against the law!
You better pledge your allegiance
You're not the only one
Listen up forefathers
I'm not your son
You better save the country
You better pass the flask
You better join the army
I said: "no thank you, dear old uncle Sam!"
You better toss your bullets
You better hide your guns
You better help the children
Let them have some fun, some fun, some fun!
