Is somebody having a laugh?

The lyrics to Fortunate Son are pretty ironic,
Same can be said for "Born in the USA." I always hated that song.
Both of which are played at political rallies. How is this not enough evidence on its own that music education needs to be a higher priority?

At least you chaps don't have to put up with Rule Britannia.
Jesus, that song is vomit inducing.

Fortunate son is antiwar, but pro military. Trump is antiwar and pro military. The song is about how regular people's sons fight the wars, while the elites don't. Those who don't like Trump see that through one lens, those who like Trump see it through another. I am not concerned with what someone did in the 60s, I'm only concerned with what they do now. Times, and people, change.

"It ain't me, It ain't me,
I ain't no millionaires son,
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no fortunate one, no."No irony there, then.
"Some folks are born, silver spoon in hand
Lord, don't they help themselves, though
But when the taxman come to the door,
Lord the house lookin' like a rummage sale, yeah"LOLz
I know, I know, TDS.
Still, it's pretty funny. -
Like I said, what matters is where he is today, not where he was 60 years ago. He's antiwar, pro military.
From what I've read about the song, the "millionaires son" reference is about Richard Nixon's son, not Trump. Also from what I've read, Nixon's son ended up serving in the military for 3 years.
