Oh my... Oh no.... Oh, Sweet, merciful Jesus, no!
You have to read Clint Black's lyrics for his "Freedom Walk" putsch. They are as ignorant as they are disturbing.

<snip>


YOU CAN WAVE YOUR SIGNS IN PROTEST
AGAINST AMERICA TAKING STANDS
THE STANDS AMERICA'S TAKEN
ARE THE REASON THAT YOU CAN. . .

The rest is here..

Be prepared to vomit in sheer horror!

2. I hear they've raised the recruiting pool to age 38
So how old is Clint and how soon can we expect to see him at the recruiter's office?

3. You posted the least offensive lyrics in the song - the title itself
is enough to make one hurl.

18. Is "Skynard" in the "salute" as well?
All that would be needed to complete this corn-poneapalooza would be "Skynard" or Charlie Daniels. There would be more American flags and tattoos than teeth, that's for sure. :eyes:
I know that's a stereotypical generalization, but probably all too true.

13. I have no problem with America "taking a stand".........
as long as it's legitimate and the last recourse. However, wars that are started because of old grudges and sheer hate ARE NOT "taking a stand". This was an arbitrary war, it needn't have happened.
However, I wouldn't expect simplistic, uneducated, pandering morons like Clint Black to understand anything this complicated. To he and his ilk, 'Murka is always right and sticking a cowboy boot up anyone's ass is considered a noble action. Uneducated, knee-jerk reactionaries like Clint Black and his "fans" are precisely what is wrong with our country, everything is either black or white, with none of the innumerable shades of gray reality encompasses.
People like this are perfect minions for an administration like bush's. Dumb, easily controlled, and able to be activated at the wave of a flag. :eyes:

I see stupid people!

14. Haven Hamilton Lives!
I wish I could find the lyrics to "200 Years" from Altman's "NASHVILLE"

That song was ahead of it's time.

"We must be doing something right/ To last 200 years,"

He's just a hasbeen who probably has a very tiny #####. :(

He needs to make himself feel like a real man. :eyes:

21. Never besides original Nazi filth have I ever read anything so revolting
The title of the song "I RAQ AND ROLL" - makes me want to vomit, not even speaking of the rest of this terrible untalented concoction. I'm all for giving him some of that "old fashioned lead" (no, not really *sigh*, we're all peacefuzl and forgiving of course).

We should send him a brown shirt and boots. And those who pay him also.

26. Are you sure
I do not see the lyrics for this song on his website. When I go to Clintblack.com and his lyrics section it is not to be found. Is this a bogus link that is being passed around because someone doesn't like the fact his performing at this Rumsfeld fiasco. Something just does not fit. If they are his lyrics it is disgusting if they are not then whoever is giving this song spin is disgusting.

33. I believe this was released Sept 2003. Didn't go anywhere
Back in 2003 when Keith and Worley jumped on the troop bandwagon to pimp for some cash Clint tried to use it to redo his career. Personally I think Worley's song "Have you forgotten?" is worse given is nice Saddam = 9/11 ramble.

I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start preaching
Let me ask you this my friend

CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And we vowed to get the ones behind Bin Laden Nice little 9/11 = Sadam connection, this kind of crap along with the half truths from * is why something like 75% of people thought Saddam did 9/11.
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for

CHORUS 2
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yes, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?

40. Here are the full lyrics... And a special message for Clint Black
Edited on Wed Aug-17-05 08:38 AM by CrackpotAmerica
YOU CAN WAVE YOUR SIGNS IN PROTEST
AGAINST AMERICA TAKING STANDS
THE STANDS AMERICA'S TAKEN
ARE 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'LL KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE

SOME SEE THIS IN BLACK AND WHITE
OTHERS ONLY GRAY
WE'RE NOT BEGGING FOR A FIGHT
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY

WE HAVE THE RESOLUTION
THAT SHOULD PUT'EM ALL TO SHAME
BUT IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF DEADLINE
WHEN I'M CALLED IN THE GAME

CHORUS
I RAQ, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'M BACK AND I'M A HIGH TECH GI JOE
I PRAY FOR PEACE, PREPARE FOR WAR
AND I NEVER WILL FORGET
THERE'S 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
IF THEY WON'T SHOW US THEIR WEAPONS
WE MIGHT HAVE TO SHOW THEM OURS

IT MIGHT BE A SMART BOMB
THEY FIND STUPID PEOPLE TOO
AND IF YOU STAND WITH THE LIKES OF SADDAM
ONE JUST MIGHT FIND YOU

CHORUS II
I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'M BACK AND I'M A HIGH TECH GI JOE
I'VE GOT INFRARED, I'VE GOT GPS AND I'VE GOT THAT GOOD OLD FASHIONED LEAD
THERE'S NO PRICE TOO HIGH FOR FREEDOM
SO BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU TREAD

BRIDGE
NOW YOU CAN COME ALONG
OR YOU CAN STAY BEHIND
OR YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE WAY
BUT OUR TROOPS TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE
FOR THE GOOD OLD U.S.A.


I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
IN THE USA
I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'M TALKIN' ABOUT THE USA


Note that he reminds us where the bridge and chorus are. Gee, thanks, it was hard enough interpreting your "poetic" metaphors!

Oh, yeah,

If you are reading this, Mr. Black, Go here:
