Poor Bruce, he’s clueless. He takes tax breaks meant for poor farmers by cultivating one microscopic acre on his vast and expensive multi- millon dollar estate, but thinks we’ll belive he’s one of us. He’s delusional at best. This is an ok sounding song, but use of the lyric ‘Calvary’ is ignorant, it is the hill where Christ was crucified, ‘cavalry’ are troops sent to the rescue. If he was seeking to be ironic or profound, he only came off like a pretentious douche-tard.
Yeah, Bruce is the one that comes off as a pretentious douche-tard. Just to be clear.
