Please tell me I'm completely mis-interpreting this song?

Phony Scott

This is a song I noticed a friend post up on Facebook. I don't know the band at all, so don't read this post as a publicity stunt by them (but bad publicity is good publicity, right )

I appreciate Irish bands being politically active, there are not enough of them, but I wish these guys didn’t rework this. It is a good interpretation of a classic and (on a superfical level anyway) the re-worked lyrics did not make my toes curl, but I just feel any political song would be better served being an original piece rather than something which defined a previous generation. It's far removed from anti-establishment.



Also the use of the word “Dáil” can be easily misconstrued as “Dole,” hence “…your just another prick on the dole”, which, if that was intentional like “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”, I don't think it's clever and in my mind anyway, it is very counterintuitive. I would like to hear from one of the band members to tell me I've got this completely wrong. Thoughts?

Guitar sounded cr@p so I turned it off, let me guess; they present a list of problems without offering viable solutions?

It's just a bad parody song imo.

I've always hated Another Brick in the Wall anyway.
