Today I learned Steely Dan wrote this song as an anithesis to John Lennon's Imagine, which really ranks as one of the smuggest, most out-of-touch songs ever written.
Makes me like Steely Dan all the more.

The Indiana and the Illinois units came over the barricade north of the railroad and captured a gun. Private James S. Adkins of the 33rd Illinois, exhilarated by the bloodless victory, leaped astride the gun tube, waved his elbows up and down at his sides, and crowed like a rooster. Then, curious, he tugged at the lanyard. The gun went off, hurling a shell close over the heads of the units coming up in support, and bucking Adkins head over heels into the dirt. Miraculously, no one was hurt.
