we really went from "those bastard feds will never get me or any other innocents" to "FOOTBALL MAN STAND UP"

    "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue" by Toby Keith

    American girls and American guys

    We'll always stand up and salute

    We'll always recognize

    When we see Old Glory flying

    There's a lot of men dead

    So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head

    My daddy served in the army

    Where he lost his right eye but he flew a flag out in our yard

    Until the day that he died

    He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me

    To grow up and live happy

    In the land of the free

    Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack

    A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in from somewhere in the back

    Soon as we could see clearly

    Through our big black eye

    Man, we lit up your world

    Like the fourth of July

    Hey Uncle Sam, put your name at the top of his list

    And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist

    And the eagle will fly man, it's gonna be hell When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell

    And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you

    Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue

    Justice will be served and the battle will rage

    This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage

    And you'll be sorry that you messed with The U.S. of A.

    'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass

    It's the American way

    Hey uncle sam put your name at the top of his list

    And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist

    And the eagle will fly it's gonna be hell

    When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell

    And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you

    Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue

    Oh oh of the red, white and blue

    Oh oh of my red, white and blue

      A mighty sucker punch came flyin’ in from somewhere in the back

      it scrambled our brains and every night since we shit the bed

      we're tazing our balls, mixing honey and horse paste just to wind up dead.

      can't stop cryin' about the flag or prayin' for jesus christ

      don't know what we're doin', but we're bombing everyone in sight

      The United States has never once fought a war where the lives and freedoms of Americans were at risk. This asshole's dad lost his eye for US imperialism, so rich folks could get even richer. Loser.

      He's not wrong, extreme violence is the American way.

      I was quite young when this song came out and I unironically loved it. The melodies of the guitar and vocals are surprisingly really catchy. But now that I'm old enough to understand how utterly propagandized the message is, it just hurts me to think of how widely adored this chud-ass chudfuck song was back in the day, and still is now.
