Seems like it is written for people who live in the country and who often have a very hard time making ends meet because of the greed of their employers. Think the city has RAP music and other related genres.
Nonsense!

How can it be compared to rap which is laced with obscenity, hate and violence?

Did you listen to the lyrics?

Livin' in the new world / With an old soul / These rich men north of Richmond / Lord knows they all just wanna have total control / Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do / And they don't think you know, but I know that you do / 'Cause your dollar ain't **** and it's taxed to no end / 'Cause of rich men north of Richmond.


I wish politicians would look out for miners / And not just minors on an island somewhere / Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat / And the obese milkin' welfare.

Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds / Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds / Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground / 'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down.
