Because of the music video I always took that song to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, like an homage to old westerns. I was less aware of things back then though, so I could be completely misremembering.
My love for Willie makes me want to agree, but my loathing of Toby Keith pushes me toward this being a pro-lynching anthem.
Hey, i've seen this movie before!
The movie was Mississippi Burning.
If I had absolutely no shame whatsoever and I had succumbed to a callous desire for money, I would make music like this. It seems easy.
I'd have song titles like "My CRT is Christ, Republicans, Tradition" and "Can't get woke from the American dream"
[Chorus]
Don't care what these liberals are sayin'
Just get on your knees and start prayin'
When times are hard,
And people ain't as they seem
Just remember
[Beat]
Can't get woke from the American dream
[insert twangy guitar]
[jump cut to trucks, cheerleaders, and beers around a fire]
... Should we just produce this and donate the proceeds to leftist orgs around the country? SOMEBODY is going to exploit these chuds for money, it may as well go towards a good cause, right?
I fucking love how all republican art now is written about hyperspecific culture war products in a way that ensures it will be completely irrelevant and unlistenable in like the next 6 months. They literally have toddler brains that can't comprehend subtlety.

Hank Williams Jr’s 1981 album was purely based in petty grievances too. He had a pretty popular song where he was complaining that people didn’t like Yosemite Sam or Foghorn Leghorn
Western men have been so emasculated by capitalism that there is no an endless stream of products to let them assert their fragile masculinity. I hear ads on classic rock radio all the time of "This generation of men has less testosterone than all previous ones. Buy this supplement to be a real man."
three of those things are caused directly by or exacerbated by capitalism
I mean, I doubt P&G or Walmart are going anywhere until Capitalism is abolished (much less forgotten in 6 months)
but it's already irrelevant and unlistenable, so there's that
I didn't think anything would break the hold that brands have on Americans
In fact, I still have my doubts that these people are actually switching to Pepsi
Doing these little protests, like when they all “boycotted Nike” is literally just something to do for the weekend for these dinguses and then they’re back to normal come Monday
I do love to walk into my local Piggly Wiggly (TM) and shed a tear as I see the giant crucifix made out of Orange Crush (TM) and Mellow Yellow (TM).
Some people drink Pepsi
Some people drink Coke
The wacky morning DJ
Says democracy's a joke
:comfy-cool: :bird-bouncy:
Anyone want one of these pendant keychains?
I’ve never meet anyone who likes cake, internet or otherwise. This is fucking awesome I love hexbear
People: Hey, white people should not be dicks to non-whites.
Chuds: Why are you attacking my identity! This is literally like the Holocaust!
It’s always really telling that their conception of whiteness is inherently being above and belittling other groups, they usually don’t say that out loud but every now and then you catch them like this lol
He also wrote a song fantasizing about getting carjacked by black people in Chicago.
Sounds like something someone who doesn't know what carjacking is would say.
Does he think MFers are just walking up to the vehicle while you're sitting in it and hold you up at gunpoint? By the time you know you've been carjacked it's too late your shits gone and there's nothing you can do about it lol. He's just mad people don't steal from his car often enough to justify his racism.
Yeah I'm educated in the ways of the streets. Ive played GTA before!
Jesus Christ this sucks, but it's interesting how the song begins with some shit that isn't occurring (nobody is asking white people to like inject melanin or whatever this chud imagines), then after you're all riled up, the second verse mocks what is ultimately a perfectly reasonable request.
isn’t occurring (nobody is asking white people to like inject melanin or whatever this chud imagines)
Yeah, yeah… no one including me would suggest to do that.
:side-eye-1:
:side-eye-2:
He's talking about great replacement / white genocide shit. Which of course isn't occurring, but the intended audience believes it.
:michael-laugh: I can't fucking take this, it's too fucking funny :data-laughing:
What hell even is this shit :lmayo:
Sorry. This one was my fault. I wished we could have some decent politically charged music like the anti-Vietnam war era.
Unfortunately I think I wished on a monkeys paw.
I read a couple books but I ain't gay,
so I know the words I want to say.
Real men are stoic which means quiet and strong.
Compared to my dad, I gots a thick dong.
All these Democraps do like to grouse.
So, we only drink Pepsi in this house.
