Soldier Charm
What is the meaning of these lyrics?
“Quaker toil & Texan oil
Rockets on we’re arm in arm
NASA nude you’re manly you
Oi American soldier
America’s boy
Gun me down with Yankee power
C0ck pit tom with army charm
The eagle lands army commands
Oi American soldier
America’s boy
Cowboy corn & bugle horn
{on son don’t post me on?}
You are dean and me the queen
Oi American soldier
America’s boy”
[I think that it is a mockery of America has a whole. What do you think. I also think that it is hopeful to add that this song was written by a British woman.]
P.S. It is not “oi”, it is “oy”… and that means “what a mess.”
It’s not a mockery of America or Americans as a whole…It’s a satire of the current Bush administration (references to cowboy corn and “America’s boy” = Dubya) policy towards war(American soldier, gun and rocket references), specifically the war in Iraq (hence the references to oil).
Satire DOES NOT equal mockery, it’s a little bit more complicated than just making fun, it usually has an underground meaning, it’s supposed to be thought provoking.
This is a protest song, it’s the way other countries view the US’ foreign policy.
Personally, I would find it much more “hopeful” as you say if this song was written by an American, that would mean that there’s less repression in the system to express yourself freely, even if it means criticizing your own country’s actions; also it would mean that Americans are *FINALLY* waking up in self-awareness and having an opinion about what they’re doing wrong and how can they use all of the tools freedom and democracy bring to their citizens to change those factors.
