    I legit actually like country music. Country music and punk rock. Both of them are just three chords and the truth

    And man, when this song started, dude came in hot. I loved it. And then he went flying right off the rails.

      Exactly what I thought, the first verse and most of the chorus is legit working class anxiety. The rest is blaming other victims of the system, and while it references “rich men,” it contains no criticism of their wealth, the reference to taxes is more the opposite.
