Why do you call it "a comedy of tragic proportions"?

Indeed it is an accurate and poetic depiction of USA and full of hope. I find very little that can be said to be tragic about the song. It is accurate in the sense that it lays out both the positives and negatives without getting emotional. A very well balanced perspective.

Sorry, Kush....the news reports link the comedy to tragedy for me. The unelected 'President' right through to today. I know we differ in our views. I resisted answering Sandra's question regarding what is your country famous for.
