This song is for you america!

You know. I've seen the changes in this country! We all have! Not too long ago a major country artist, Toby Keith, wrote a song that describes America verbatim. Normally I would think posting a music video to be inappropriate, but not in this case. Watch the video and then check yourself America! A more accurate anthem just for you!

P.S. you can double click the video to watch it directly from youtube if embedding is disabled.

There is a plethora of political issues brought up in this video. Feel free to discuss any one of them!

And how did you come to THAT conclusion?

Ummmmmm did you watch the video? Have you lived more than 10 mins in the USA? You didn't even enjoy the comedy relief? I thought it was funny and definitely a break from the regular doom and gloom the world sucks stuff that we normally get around here. Besides this country artist pointed out all of the flaws in this country in one fell swoop.

Here are the lyrics for those who cant watch the video


[quotw]Winter gettin colder, summer gettin warmer.
Tidal wave comin cross the Mexican border.
Why buy a gallon, when its cheaper by the barrel.
Just dont be busted singin Christmas carols.

Thats us, Thats right
Gotta love this American ride.
Both ends of the ozone burnin.
Funny how the world keeps turnin.
Look ma, no hands.
I love this American ride.
Gotta love this American ride.

Momma gets her rocks off watchin Desperate Housewives.
Daddy works his ass off payin for the good life.
Kids on the YouTube learnin how to be cool.
Livin in a cruel world, pays to be a mean girl.

Thats us, Thats right
Gotta love this American ride.
Both ends of the ozone burnin.
Funny how the world keeps turnin.
Look ma, no hands.
I love this American ride.
Gotta love this American ride.

Poor little infamous America's town.
She gained five pounds and lost her crown.
Quick fix plastic surgical antidote.
Got herself a record deal, cant even sing a note.

Plasma gettin bigger, Jesus gettin smaller.
Spill a cup of coffee, make a million dollars.
Customs caught a buzz with an aerosol can.
If the shoe dont fit, the fits gonna hit the shan.

Thats us, Thats right
Gotta love this American ride.
Both ends of the ozone burnin.
Funny how the world keeps turnin.
Hot dog, Hot damn.
I love this American ride.
Gotta love this American ride.
Oh yeah,
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na........... nanannaaa


Interesting and sounds like America Its sad what many in this country have become......
