Why is this tune not being played everywhere?

    In addition to the comments here about the lyrics, IMHO it is a one-chord song and boring. Most of Burton Cummings’ songs are much more interesting musically, e.g. “Undun.”

    Perhaps because there’s a big dose of misogyny intertwined with the critique of American Exceptionalism.

    Think about how the song would play with genders reversed.
