The lyrics are so lame there aren't even words to describe it. Its something a child would write. Not half as good as Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl.

naive, cliche, opportunistic and tuneless.

Once of Prince's worst songs ever.

It's a little annoying. It has a really lazy, uninspired hook and some of the lyrics are the kind of naive and shallow perspective you'd expect off of For You, but not Prince in 2004.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.

Great video, gutsy take on a controversial topic but musically not quite there. It's supposed to be one of those catchy middle of the road pop rock numbers with just enough Prince magic to transcend the conventional aspects, like Cream, but he doesn't pull it off this time. So it ends up being that song that's dying to be catchy but that isn't and it's a little annoying.

Yes, the video is great! Strangely enough, he only seems to do decent videos recently.

Hated it at first. Actually like it now. Not a classic, but enjoyable.
