The African Giant cannot But speak on the age old issues of corruption, oppression and lackluster attitude of Africans as a whole to take an unflinching stance for their rights!

He uses Nigeria as an example because that is where he is most familiar with. Yet it seems it is actually the same story across a lot of African countries

Throughout the song, The Killers proclaim what they see as the irony behind America's longtime nickname of "land of the free," when it's such a divided country.
Killers frontman is Brandon Flowers. His grandparents emigrated from Lithuania to America in the 20th century in order to build a better life for their family.
