The song is about
sixteen military wives, who have lost their husbands; celebrities, who the
American people look up to, whose lives we follow intensely; and the news reporters
of America.
What is the theme of the song?
The theme of
the song is that Americans focus on the lives of the “celebrities”, like
Lindsay Lohan. When, the real celebrities should be the military folk who
fought for our country. The song talks
about “Fourteen cannibal kings, Wondering blithely what the dinner bell will bring,
Fifteen celebrity minds, Served on a leafy bed OF sixteen military wives.” This
stanza is talking about how the fourteen cannibal kings, the news reporters,
are waiting for some drama to occur in a celebrities life. That drama would be
the main news story in the 6 o’clock news, where a minor story would be the
sixteen military wives.
