"Great Nations of Europe" by Randy Newman is ironic, honest, and hilarious! It expresses the idea of colonization and how the citizens of each undeveloped country should prepare themselves. The line that I find most ironic is:
"..hide the groceries too.."
He was obviously being sarcastic about it. People did not have groceries back in the 16th century! It's humorous due to the way in which he uses it. He tells them to hide certain things and then mentions the groceries. The line I find to be most true is:
"Hide your wives and daughter.."
The colonizers back in that time would most likely rape the women, no matter their age. Most of the women would probably be used as house maids and would be taken away from their home.
