I think that its an ok song which touches on some important issues. Its important and responsible to be able to critically look at the state of affairs in your own backyard every now and then. Especially in the the current political climate, where everyone seems so aggressivly (and blindly) patriotic about things.
The small whinge that he has about the our values in education is pretty fair in my view. Just the bit about 'communication' over 'competition'. I think we have a long way to go with the whole education system.
And also, as an aside, i think the dude is full aware that he is very lucky to be able to say these things- because in some countries such as communist china, he would be imprisoned and tortured.
