Comments from the poster on YouTube:
With "I'm American," the second video from the new album "Southern Born Killers," Stuck Mojo once again takes a stand for pride in country, self-respect and self-reliance. These themes have been a constant throughout the band's career. Following in the footsteps of the wildly successful video for "Open Season," Mojo once again takes a politically incorrect position by not being ashamed of the qualities that have made America great.You may download the entire "Southern Born Killers" album, for free, at the band's web site StuckMojo . us."I'm American"Happy Independence Day & enjoy (H/T to Little Green Footballs):
BONUS: Lyrics from "I'm American"
I'm an American related to all colors of brethren,
Priests and Pastors and Prophets and Reverends,
Divided we fall united we stand together man,
In this cultural melting pot there's nothing better than,
This land of the free and the home of the brave,
Populated by ancestors of immigrants and slaves who met early graves,
So we could see brighter days and we could proudly praise and raise the stars and stripes as Americans
Hate me
Blame me
You can't shame me
Come and stand with me
I'm American
I'm an American born in these states united,
Where racial discrimination keeps us so divided,
Well we've got free speech so I won't be quiet,
We got a lot of problems here man I won't deny it,
But ain't another place that I'd rather be,
Than in this land of great opportunity,
Where we can be anything that we wanna be,
So until the day I D-I-E, I stand tall as an American
and they're patriots
ReplyDeleteOn rightwingtoledo you posted something about patriotism.
You must know something about patriotism. Right?
Could you help me understand what patriotism is?
Thanks.
I'm certainly not an expert on patriotism... Here's the dictionary definition:
ReplyDelete"devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty"
I think rare songs like this exhibit such behavior and attitudes.
