Sing it, Billy! -- an American who's not so young anymore but wishes this country could grow up finally

“The cities of Europe have burned before and they may yet burn again.”

[@elliotcrossan6290]

The lyric I came here for :(

[@franklittle8124]

Yup. We're back to that again. Radioactive too.

[@franklittle8124]

I loved this song when I first heard it in the 1980s when I was introduced to Billy Bragg by a leftist Australian girlfriend (who hypocritically worked for the NSA becasue she got to play with supercomputers). It is still sooo relevantly today. but to my young American ears was so full of mondegreens. For example: "This is the land of opportunity and there's a monkey trial on TV", became "this is the land of opportunity as long as the Russians are on TV". And "when the the lights go out in the rest of the world" became "when the the lights go out in the western [i.e. imperialist] world". And, "Washington will burn with them" became "Washington will burn again" (i.e. it burned once before in 1812 - in that US/British-Canadian war that the "youth of America" are still taught the US somehow won.
