What is the song "Ignoreland" by REM talking about?

The lyrics go like this:





These bastards stole their power from the victims of the Us v. Them years,


Wrecking all things virtuous and true


The undermining social democratic downhill slide into abysmal


Lost lamb off the precipice into the trickle down runoff pool


They hypnotised the summer, 1979


Marched into the capital brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,


Heartless, and labeled. Super US citizen, super achiever,


Mega ultra power doesn't relax.


Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah


Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland


Yeah, yeah, yeah





The information nation took their clues from all the sound-bite gluttons


1980, 84, 88, 92 too, too


How to be what you can be, junk, damn junk in your energy


How to walk in dignity with throw up on your shoes


They amplified the autumn, 1979


Calculate the capital, offer the public my skinny ***


TV tells a million lies. The paper's terrified to report


Anything that isn't handed on a presidential spoon,


I'm just profoundly frustrated by all this. So, **** you, man (**** 'em)


Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland


If they wasn't there we would have created them. Maybe, it's true,


But I'm resentful all the same. Someone's got to take the blame


I know that this is vitriol. No solution, spleen venting,


But I feel better having screamed. Don't you?


They desecrate the winter, 1979


Capital collateral. Brooding duplicitous, wicked and able, media-ready,


Heartless, and labeled. Super US citizen, super achiever,


Mega ultra power doesn't relax.


Defense, defense, defense, defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah


Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland


Yeah, yeah, yeah, ignoreland. Yeah, yeah, yeah


I did not do the revolution


Thank you
