The appeal of lyrics is often affected by a person's (or group's)
mood at the time.  Take, for instance, Phil Ochs:

Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of,
Richard Nixon, find yourself another country
to be part of

Or, Country Joe and the Fish:

One, Two, Three, what are we fighting for?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Vietnam.
And it's five, six, seven, open up the pearly gates.
Ain't no need to wonder why,
Whoopie!  We're all gonna die.
