This song is ever more relevant today. Take a look at the political world, human rights, trade agreements, rich getting richer. Now cry conspiracy theory, yes conspiracy theory, check out homeless politics in USA on video search engines, look at the FEMA camps popping up, this song speaks about the common people without the power over their lives being controlled by power and money hungry people. Don't just think conspiracy, take the time to educate yourselves.
Then take comfort in the song that even though dark days are due, mankind (humankind) will always prevail if we spread love.
