Unfortunately, all a song has to go by is itself. I wont even consider the music video in judging, for myself alone, the intent and theme of the song.
A play, movie or novel has much more to work with ... and not only in terms of time. As such, I tend to cut songs a lot of slack, but I also judge them entirely on their 3 minutes (extra slack included).
I can't judge this particular song just by the lyrics. I'd have to hear the music and the tone of the vocals ... and i simply don't want to.
