The lyrics of "A Private Understanding" hold barely veiled references to current politics: "In this age of blasting trumpets/A paradise for fools," Mr. Casey sings, and later, "The river doesn't move, it doesn't flow/It has been leaded by snider men to make profit from the poor" — a reference to Michigan's governor, Rick Snyder, and the river water that caused dangerous levels of lead to leach into the water supply in Flint, Mich.
