Content

The song is an up-tempo in which the narrator states that he stands by his beliefs, and will not let himself be persuaded by the comments made by his peers ("I don't give a durn what other people think / What do ya think about that?").

Critical reception

Chris Willman described the song negatively in his review, saying that its "defense of the American right to piss off your neighbors" conflicted with the message of the album's title track.[1]

gollark: I mean, I don't like them, but they're primarily a hardware company.
gollark: Why?
gollark: The main issue with the self-assessed-value-based patent tax thing is that people who independently come up with an extremely good idea may not be able to secure enough funding to keep hold of it for a while. But I'm not sure how common that is.
gollark: Limit copyright to 10 years or so, with an extension if you give the copyright office the "source code" to release publicly when it's up.
gollark: So the idea is that *you* pick a value for your patent, and anyone who is willing to put up that much money can buy it off you.
