A song’s lyrics can’t be held culprit for the overall change in society.
We have to get past this persistent negativity. The negativity has held Rhode Island back for a long time.

I will not call that person happy who knows no rest because of his enemies, who is the butt of fun by all and for whom no one has any empathy, who is as if held on a leash by others, who has lost himself in hedonistic pursuits, who preys on those weaker to him and wags his tail for his superiors.
People intrinsically know there are secrets being held from us. Look at WikiLeaks: There are secrets that are really true to the world.
