A song for the times

I chose the song Revolution 1 by the Beatles to encapsulate the overall mood of our nation in 2011. I think the lyrics of the song could definitely represent some of the feelings our nation has today. The line, "We all want to change the world" accurately represents the sentiments of many Americans. This line also reminded me of Obama's change campaign and how many Americans see the flaws of our country and want to change the bad policies of our government. Another line, "You say you got a real solution, well you know, we'd all love to see the plan" is very revealing of the American people's desire to see what plans politicians actually have when they get elected. Politicians in particular often say they've got the real solution for our country's major issues during their campaign and then as soon as they've been elected their plans are never realized.
