“Colored lights can hypnotize, sparkle someone else’s eyes”

American Woman is a song by canadian rock band The Guess Who, controversally this song has been seen as an attack on American issues like the draft. America has sort of a bad reputation with other countries, often times it is either regarded as the place where dreams come true or the country that is out to get us. Similarly like in the Vietnam War, Americas imperialistic attitudes are the cause of hatred towards the country. The lyrics “I don’t need your war machine, your ghetto scenes” is seen as a protest line by the canadian rock band.
