The lyrics of this song seem to be about the Marxist view of class warfare where the oaks are the rich and the maples are the poor, the overall message being about equality of opportunity over equality of outcome. Has the band ever confirmed this or have any papers or reviews or anything been written on the subject? Rush's 2112 doesn't seem very socially conservative as it seems fairly anti-religious but this song seems economically conservative.
