“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Trump-Trump-Trump...
You were right
There was never reason to worry
Money made your eyesight all blurry
Making lists of pacifists
Recalcitrant poses
Can't you see how dangerous
The one you chose is
Which brings us back to
Might makes right
So we learn from Wars of the Roses
Pain was only fear kneading your toeses
Making haste to spite your face to cut off your noses
Convince yourself and others that these
Fish smell like roses
Can't you see how dangerous
When you're too content to make a fuss
Can't you see how dangerous
Squint your eyes and see
Elephants, sycophants, elephants
Squint your ears and hear red-faced rants
Pleated pants
Sycophants
That's what you are
Can't you see how dangerous
When you're too content to make a fuss

It's a celebration of Cultural Capitalism... and the "splitting" of a "market" (music) into "overtly" political "segments". At least Bird recognizes the need for "ambiguity/ aimai".

Why this blatant celebration of depressing Leftist Counterculture Batshit?
It may be ever-so "trendy" among the young, but it's the very LAST thing we need.
Negative thinking begets negative consequences. It feeds on itself, and quickly grows to monstrous proportions.
Lucifer makes Evil alluring, and Good either abhorrent or apparently delusional.
That has been Lucifer's sole raison d'être ever since The Beginning.
RESIST the DEVIL, and he will FLEE from you.
