1. Give a full description of where the issue discussed was observed.
This is a song that I have listened to for several years. I liked it when I was younger, so I bought it, but I have never looked closely at the lyrics before now.
2. Give a brief statement as to why this issue was chosen.
I chose this song because the title of the song itself "Angel With a Shotgun" feels like an issue immediately and because I wanted to look closer to see how the image of an Angel and the connotations to that term are used in the song.

To say that nothing or no one matters and that we 're all pretending otherwise, then to at the same time be singing this song to convince others to have this view while also making money off of the profits is a contradiction in itself. If nothing matters, why would the singer be doing his best to convince people? Why would he think that it matters whether people have the same view as him or not? Furthermore, if he hates big-business so much, why would he enter the music industry which is not pure or honest either? It is hypocritical. c.

If everyone were to accept or hold this view then the world would quickly cease to function. The 'bad ' things the singer describes may or may not continue to happen (big business, media, suicide, etc.) but things that are hard to work for would surely stop. The world could not run on this view.
