In case you're wondering about Clint Black

[mac56]

in regards to his appearance at the walk in Washington this September -

these are the lyrics to his current hit :puke: "Iraq and I Roll". Apparently he hasn't listened too hard to his friend Rodney Crowell, a good progressive.

You can raise your signs in protest
Against America takin' a stand.
The stand America's taken
Is the reason that you can.

If everyone would go for peace
There'd be no need for war.
But we can't ignore the devil
He'd keep comming back for more.

Iraq, Iraq 'em up and I roll.
I'm back and I'm a high tech G.I. Joe.
I pray for peace, prepare for war,
And I never could forget,
No price too high for freedom
So be careful where you tread.

Some see this in black and white,
Others only gray.
We're not beggin' for a fight,
No matter what they say.

We have a resolution
That should put 'em all to shame.
It's a different kind of deadline
When I'm callin' the game.

Iraq, Iraq 'em up and I roll.
I'm back and I'm a high tech G.I. Joe.
I pray for peace, prepare for war,
And I never could forget,
No price too high for freedom
So be careful where you tread.

This terror isn't man to man,
They can be no more than cowards.
They won't show us their weapons,
We might have to show them ours.

It might be a smart bomb
That finds stupid people too.
If you stand with the likes of Saddam,
One might find you

Iraq, Iraq 'em up and I roll.
I'm back and I'm a high tech G.I. Joe.
I got infared, I got G.P.S,
I got that good ole fashion lead.
There's no high price for freedom,
So be careful where you tread.

Now you can come along
Or you can stand behind
Or you can get out of the way.
But our troops take out the garbage
For the good old U.S.A.

Iraq, Iraq 'em up and I roll (in the USA)...
Iraq, Iraq 'em up and I roll (talkin' bout' the USA)...

1. What a deplorable RNC/Pentagon shill!

"Dissent is the highest form of patriotism," per Thomas Jefferson.

Get an education, Clint.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

2. If everyone would go for peace....

hey, it can happen.

[neuvocat]

3. Send his ass over there in a uniform

and then see just what kind of lyrics the stupid fucker comes up with. Geez.

[Ilsa]

4. I used to like this guy.

But no more.

GIGO.

:thumbsdown:

[Flubadubya]

23. Same here Ilsa...

I used to really like him, and his songs, and his voice, and... YUCCH!! NEVERMORE!! What a terrible disappoinment. Sorry Clint, you are definitely on my OUT list. :grr: :cry:

5. what. a. turd burglar

[tsuki]

6. Who's Clint Black? Is he a mid player or well known? His lyrics are

crap.

[mac56]

26. He's pretty big in country circles.

Got his start in Pure Prairie League, as I recall. Pretty big country rock group in the mid 70s.

[politicaholic]

7. Don't hate him, he's just making an all American dishonest profit...

off of the backs of soldiers. Exploiting is what he does.

[Lex]

24. War profiteering. nt

[ironman202]

8. get this man a rifle....

or a prison cell.

[girl gone mad]

9. I'm back and I'm a high tech G.I. Joe.

I got infared, I got G.P.S,
I got that good ole fashion lead.
There's no high price for freedom,
So be careful where you tread.


Mr. Black left off this verse:

I got plywood armor for the humvee.
I got used kevlar mom sent from home.
There's no high price for oil.
So be careful where you roam.

10. Country music is getting beyond the joke

And Im a fan of it!!!!!

What needs to happen to these dickwads that are singing songs about Freedom and songs about Iraq, is they need to be interview about Iraq and 9/11 and asked actual questions which would required actual answers and not BUSH*T type answers, like, Freedom 9/11, freedom 9/11.

[Lex]

21. Why don't these guys actually ENLIST?

Apparently recruitment is waaay down, so they should put down the microphone and get over there and fight, since it's so glorious and all.

[praisethelowered]

11. Clint Black should educate himself about the situation a bit

before he preaches that kind of bullshit. What an idiot!

[tnlefty]

17. Welcome to DU, praisethelowered!!!

I love your username! :hi:

[JohnnyBoots]

12. America, FUCK YEAH!....coming in to save the motherfuckin day..yeah!

[stevans_41902]

13. OMG, those are the most moronic lyrics i have heard since Toby Keith's

"we'll put a boot up your ass, its the American way" Clint should either get his ass to Iraq or SHUT THE F**K UP!

[JohnnyBoots]

14. A country singer from New Jersey....always an odd mix I thought

[SledDriver]

28. Actually...

I think he had a "ranch" built built here on an old chickenhawk farm and moved in the day after his album was released.

[stevans_41902]

15. Here is another country song that is becoming a huge hit among the

freepers - called "American by Gods Amazing Grace" by Luke Stricklin. He came back from Iraq and wrote these lyrics:
"I dont really care why Bush went to Iraq -I know what I done there and I'm damn sure proud of that."
Doesn't care that Bush lied and thousands of innocent people died as a result??:mad:

[Connie_Corleone]

16. Gee, he makes it sound like the terrorists came from Iraq!

Got's to get tough, Yo Joe!!

I'm am really sick of these idiots. 2006 and 2008 couldn't come soon enough for me.

[blm]

18. And he doesn't have a thimbleful of Rodney Crowell's songwriting ability

either.

[mac56]

27. Rodney's a good man.

Check him out at www.rodneycrowell.com.

A good progressive, has weighed in with some anti-war essays.

Not to mention: was married to Roseanne Cash, and thus was Johnny's son in law.

[Lex]

19. What's keeping him from ENLISTING?

I mean, if he's ready to Iraq n' Roll, then he should go for it!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

20. Dixie Chicks have more integrity in one of their pinkies than this guy

has in his whole body.

Good for them for disowning the world of country music if this is what it's come to.

[brettdale]

22. This is weak I Know

My Name is Clint Black
I wear a ten Gallon Hat
I wanna sell a million albums
So I will write a song about Iraq

(feel free to continue)
