christmas in washington joan baez . Message?

Guten Tag zusammen ,

Weiß wer was die Message hinter diesem Lied ist ?

Die Message von "Masters of War" -Bob Dylan ist ja ,dass die reichen Kriege führen ,damit sie immer reicher werden . Bei diesem Lied erkenne ich aber die Message nicht . Kann mir irgendjemand helfen ?

It's Christmastime in Washington

The Democrats rehearsed

Gettin' into gear for four more years

Things not gettin' worse

The Republicans drink whiskey neat

And thanked their lucky stars

They said, 'He cannot seek another term

They'll be no more F-D-R's

I sat home in Tennessee

Staring at the screen

With an uneasy feeling in my chest

And I'm wonderin' what it means

So come back Woody Guthrie

Come back to us now

Tear your eyes from paradise

And rise again somehow

If you run into Jesus

Maybe he can help you out

Come back Woody Guthrie to us now

I followed in your footsteps once

Back in my travelin' days

Somewhere I failed to find your trail

Now I'm stumblin' through the haze

But there's killers on the highway now

And a man can't get around

So I sold my soul for wheels that roll

Now I'm stuck here in this town

So come back Woody Guthrie

Come back to us now

Tear your eyes from paradise

And rise again somehow

If you run into Jesus

Maybe he can help you out

Come back Woody Guthrie to us now

There's foxes in the hen house

Cows out in the corn

The unions have been busted

Their proud red banners torn

To listen to the radio

You'd think that all was well

But you and me and Cisco know

It's going straight to hell

So come back, Emma Goldman

Rise up, old Joe Hill

The barricades are goin' up

They cannot break our will

Come back to us, Malcolm X

And Martin Luther King

We're marching into Selma

As the bells of freedom ring

So come back Woody Guthrie

Come back to us now

Tear your eyes from paradise

And rise again somehow

If you run into Jesus

Maybe he can help you out

Come back Woody Guthrie to us now

Danke im Voraus

Google mal nach den ganzen Leuten, die in dem Lied genannt werden.

So wie ich das jetzt verstehe, meint Joan Baez damit, dass es heutzutage doch egal ist, welche Partei mal wählt, fürs Fußvolk änder sich eh nichts. Und daher wünscht sie sich, dass der Geist der 50er und 60er wiederkommen müsste. All die Leute, die in dem Lied erwähnt werden, haben damals gegen die Verhältnisse und den üblichen "Way of Live" in den USA protestiert und genau das wäre jetzt wieder nötig, aber fehlt ihrer Meinung nach total.
