Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.
give it time
I’ve been 18 for a week now being an adult is fun!
song goes hard but he loses me when he’s complaining about people on food stamps. id say many consumers of country music, and especially this song, are those who are close to being or are already on food stamps. and it’s true that a lot of people take advantage of WIC or EBT or PEBT but ultimately there’s a lot of people that desperately need it. and the exact people he’s singing about are the people who allow these means of survival to be abused and want them taken away.
just because a system is in desperate need of reform doesnt mean it’s a bad idea. and just because some people on food stamps are deadbeats doesn’t mean they all are. their parents, partner, whoever let them down in life- and now they’re the ones who have to bear shame for needing help from a system that claims to serve that goal.
and there’s more to say as to why someone on food stamps would still be buying fudge rounds instead of the almighty fruit and veg: i know people who live a 30 minute drive from the nearest store (that accepts EBT) with fresh produce. but there’s a non-market Dollar General a five minute walk from the house.
and that’s all i’ll say bc probably no one cares but yeah i like the song and he’s talented but had to come hit us with a white-man line that really reduced the value of the song for me personally. otherwise bop
