  The Angry American A while ago I wrote about Toby Keith and his song, "The Angry American". I remember writing about it because I heard it at the gym as one of the discussions during CNN's TalkBack Live; Toby was invited to perform at some event and then the coordinators decided to drop him because the the song was "too conrovercial". I remember they played the song in its entirety and scrolled the lyrics on the screen; while I normally despise country music, this song actually got to me. I remember trying to find the lyrics, but at the time the song was a "pre-release" so no one had a damn thing on it. I gave up my search. Today, however, I was looking at urlLink Drudge and one of his links was interesting..." urlLink 'Angry' response to terror helps Keith flag No. 1 spot..." Yes! Read it over, thinking maybe... maybe they printed the lyrics...But no. However, they did print the full name of the song; armed with that knowledge, I redid my search for lyrics and came up with 7 pages on Google.
(Heh! Where were you when I wanted to find it in the first place!?!?!?!? Anyway...lol) YES! Exciting! So, without further ado, here are the lyrics (courtesy of urlLink Country Gold USA ) from the urlLink "controversial" and "too-patriotic song" that got Toby canned from a program : American girls and American guys will always stand up and salute; Will always recognize When we see ol' glory flying, There's a lot of men dead, So we can sleep in peace at night when we lay down our head.
My daddy served in the army, Where he lost his right eye. But he flew a flag out in our yard 'til the day that he died. He wanted my mother, my brother, my sister and me To grow up and live happy in the land of the free. Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack. A mighty sucker punch came flying in from somewhere in the back. Soon as we could see clearly through our big black eye, Man we lit up your world like the Fourth of July. Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list, And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist. And the eagle will fly, And there's gonna be Hell, When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell! It's gonna feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you... Brought to you courtesy of the Red, White and Blue! Oh, Justice will be served and the battle will rage. This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage You'll be sorry that you messed with the US of A 'Cuz we'll put a boot in your ass It's the American way. Hey Uncle Sam put your name at the top of his list, And the Statue of Liberty started shaking her fist. And the eagle will fly, And there's gonna be Hell, When you hear Mother Freedom start ringing her bell!
And it'll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you... Brought to you courtesy of the Red, White and Blue! Of the Red, White and Blue.. Of my Red, White and Blue... You know what? I'm gonna get this damn CD now. Screw it. Hell yeah Toby Keith. Sing it loud.
