And you thought that Toby Keith was bad....

"We Must Take America back" by Steve Vaus...

The American Dream has become a nightmare,
Signs of the times are on cardboard on corners in town,
There's a cancer called crime in our cities,
And an unspoken fear . . . we're on our way down.

We must take America back
Put an end to the gangs and the drugs in the streets
And the fact that the bad guys most always go free,
That is wrong.
We need leaders who lead us, not stick us and bleed us,
Then take all our money and send it abroad.
We must take America back,
We need prayer in the schools and more things
"Made In USA";
It's the least we can do, for the red, white and blue
We must take America back.

There's a hell here on earth in some city schoolyards,
When bullets and birth control outnumber books something's wrong;
There's a hunger for good news and heroes,
But good news is no news so all of the heroes are gone.

We must take America back
Put an end to the gangs and the drugs in the streets
And the fact that the bad guys most always go free,
That is wrong.
We need leaders who lead us, not stick us and bleed us,
Then take all our money and send it abroad.
We must take America back,
We need prayer in the schools and more things
"Made In USA";
It's the least we can do, for the red, white and blue
We must take America back.

4. What would you do.............
.........If you were asked to give up your dreams for freedom
What would you do
If asked to make the ultimate sacrifice

Would you think about all them people
Who gave up everything they had.
Would you think about all them War Vets
And would you start to feel bad

Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill
Freedom isn't free
No, there's a hefty fuckin' fee.
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?

What would you do
If someone told you to fight for freedom.
Would you answer the call
Or run away like a little pussy
'Cause the only reason that you're here.
Is 'cause folks died for you in the past
So maybe now it's your turn
To die kicking some ass

Freedom isn't free
It costs folks like you and me
And if we don't all chip in
We'll never pay that bill
Freedom isn't free
Now there's a have to hook'in fee
And if you don't throw in your buck 'o five
Who will?

You don't throw in your buck 'o five. Who will?
Oooh buck 'o five
Freedom costs a buck 'o five

5. Wow! That is one of least informed songs I have ever heard of.
"There's a cancer called crime in our cities" - When hasn't there been crime in cities, town, hamlets, villages, etc. There always has always will be.

"And the fact that the bad guys most always go free" - If he is talking about the Bush Cabal and Enron then he is correct. If he is talking about non-white collar crime he doesn't know what he's talking about. Not only do most go to jail but about 90% plead guilty.

"Then take all our money and send it abroad" - Foreign aide is about 1% of the federal budget. Unless he means sending our money abroad by means of military invasion.

"We need prayer in the schools and more things
"Made In USA"" - Prayer in school has never been outlawed. School led prayer has been. In my state students get a moment of silence at the beginning of the day for their own private prayer.
As for the "Made In USA" part, if it wasn't for Republican backed free trade legislation we would have a lot more stuff made in the USA.

Just another delusion of the ideal America in the past that never existed.

10. yes Toby, let's crack down on the Red State Crank heads
Edited on Tue Nov-22-05 04:57 PM by LynneSin
I'm so fucking sick and tired of everyone thinking the drug problem is in the urban areas. I'd rather live amongst junkies and crackheads than near the miserable existance of the lifehood of a crankhead. And although all of these drugs are used across the country, it seems that crank is the fastest growing problem and strongest in the rural areas especially in red states!

Go clean those assholes up. I can't even buy Nyquil now unless I show my ID and sign a fucking form!
