Even more accurate now.
every so often Radio Paradise plays truly incredible songs I had not heard before. This is one such

If you don't like your own reality. Make a new one, don't tear someone else's down.

Truth is truth forever. Iris is truth. Definite rare 10.
No falsehoods detected.

Iris nailed it back then and it sadly still holds true in 2025.

Perfect truth about USA
This is a new one on me... first impression is a "7", a solid floor, but quite likely to rise once I take a closer listen, especially to the lyrics. Almost early Dylanesque in its iconoclasm, without Bob's subtlety - with Dylan you had to work a little to understand his symbolism - deMent doesn't pull any punches. Fine by me, as Dylan says in My Back Pages:
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect...

RP continues to surprise, and that's a good thing, a very good thing...
A righteous rant but a tad didactic. It's sadly as applicable today as 30 years ago.
I love Iris but this song is where she really gets gutsy, letting it all hang out about her fellow countrymen and revealing what a growing majority really feel about what's goin' on. God bless America for caring; it's 1967 all over again. This inspirationally rallying cry to stand up and face the fear gets Wasteland of the Free Godlike status in my books.
