There's a bit of a reactionary in all of us, but even if some of these disjointed ideas are her own, at least India.Arie has a sense of humour. 'The next thing they turn around, they clonin' you and me'. 'They're clonin' animals, we're eating' the meat,' she sings. Are these her own views?

In a roll call of tangential examples of modern culture, from 'mumble rap' to 'genetically modified broccoli' (not a phrase you'll find in many pop songs), parts of the song come dangerously close to the ravings of right-wing Conservatives complaining that the world is going to hell in a handbasket. Some of the lyrics to Rollercoaster could be interpreted as rambling and reactionary.
