Song has strong old fashioned leftist vibes. It's a working class song and working class is always subject to abuse by ruling elties. There was a time when the left was represeing the working class but that is long gone.

Sure there are some right wing tropes such as fat shaming/ social system abuse. But it's also true that the left has given up on white trash and even though many of them wield no power they are blamed for everything that is wrong in the world. The left has become so elitist that they're disgusted by ordinary people and no longer see their somewhat promotive world view as a curable challenge but an excuse to entirely dismiss them.

The song just makes me sad and this is also a reason why I no longer consider myself to be a leftist, because today being a leftist means supporting power and the establishment.
