    How is that? I’d honestly like to know. It raises my hackles, but i can’t really explain why.

    “Rich men north of Richmond”… I’m not american, so maybe that’s why i don’t quite get it

      Kinda weird when your song talking shit about politicians contains an explicit reference to the folks you’re talking about being north of the capital of the Confederacy.

      Pretty sure Washington DC is directly North of Richmond. I’m not from USA but that was my natural assumption about who he was talking about just based on geography and the US centre of power.
