i dont think people will ever understand the beauty and lyricism of these lyrics:
My team is losing, battered and bruising
I see the high fives between the bad guys
Leave with my head hung, you are the only one
Who seems to care
American stories burning before me
I'm feeling helpless, the damsels are depressed
Boys will be boys then, where are the wise men?
Darling, I'm scared
Taylor is talking about how her chosen political party is losing, and how the opposition is winning. She is devastated but her lover seems to understand. Then Taylor is talking about how the men in Cabinet are behaving like boys, and all the hope found in men who take care of their country, is gone. This is making her scared for the future....
and people say Taylor can't write
