If you start taking song lyrics too literally and seriously you might as stop listening to music altogether.

Or....you might listen to better music?

Absolutely. If you don't like a piece of music, listen to something else.
I really like the Beatles. I really like the John Lennon/Paul McCartney songwriting team. I don't interpret the lyrics to 'Imagine' the way the author does. It's that simple.
There's plenty of songs that I don't like because I find the lyrics offensive and there's nothing else that redeems the song or lyrics. There's songs whose lyrics I give a pass because the song is so good/funny/thought provoking. Heck, by the author's methodology there probably isn't a single Frank Zappa song that would remain standing, and I ain't about to stop listening to Zappa!
