QUOTE 'Something For Nothing'. The most conservative song that Neil has ever written. Not saying that that was his intent, but that's what I get from it.
I've argued before with someone who interpreted the song as you do. Let's just say I disagree about it being a "conservative" song. Neil's lyrics don't strike me as conservative, politically or otherwise. There is, however, one lyric I can think of which might be construed that way (perhaps "Anthem" should be the "most conservative song"):
"...and bleeding hearts will only cry out for more." (A 'bleeding heart' Liberal endlessly looking for a handout?)
