@ph33rbot101 I didn't realize Canadians couldn't write a song about the US. The metaphor I made up isn't the point of my comment.

What happened to the world? 50 years ago if you punched a bully your parents and teachers would have applauded you for sticking up to your oppressor. Today if I hit my bully of 4 years I can potentially get expelled. I have no clue why injustice is promoted in the world today

The boy is the idea of freedom and democracy in any nation which America has intervened in militarily. The council of the parents and siblings is the American leadership and the bully is the perceived aggressor. The mother is the public and is thus the most difficult to persuade and has the ultimate say. The end result is an act of aggression that wipes out the aggressor (the bully) in one go. This is of course one reading of a song that could be a metaphor for just about anything one chooses.

To me, it's more of a song about coming of age.Growing up, we're held back by family morals and are turned to a passive state when it comes to conflict. The family is his conscience, and rather than them literally being there, it's more of, "What would my family say/feel if i struck back?" Which is why he waits till he gets the ok from his whole family, just to finally strike back. He realizes that he's not a kid anymore, and finally accepts that he needs to stand up for himself once in a while.
