6. questions the mutual exclusivity of elitist and populist values. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxXrTRFVUkQ
The lyrics of the song portray the artists opinions on 'the good book' and the religion that the Bible teaches. Christianity is widely accepted within most countries and most people don't like to criticise any religion for it is considered a social taboo. People in society believe that those of higher class support religion and most people are tolerable of religion, so having the artist relaying the negative points about religion and highlighting the elements he finds ridiculous questions the mutual values of the elitist and populist members in society.
11. embraces contradictions - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5_H-4JokzA
The music is classified as rock due to the lyrics and the instruments played, as well as the artists voice, but there is elements of the classical genre too, such as the violin at the beginning of the song. The classical genre and rock genre are almost considered to be at the opposite ends of the spectrum as the sounds are so different from one another, along with the image and fans, but here the two genres are being used together to create a new sound, so the music is embracing contradictions because it is made from two completely different genres.
