- MY COUNTRY TOO - a political slam (take 2 - now with vocals)

[hardlock]

I have an instrumental version of this from last year over on the collab board. 

Thought I'd sing my rants and take a chance with it not getting too many laughs.... 


MY COUNTRY TOO    (c) 2009 Ken Hill
-------------------------------------------------------------------

   Preaching family values, need to save my soul today
   
   Better stop and ask your God to see just what he'll have to say

   It's just the e-pit-o-me of hy-poc-ri-sy you see
   
   To think your ways are also my des-tin-y

-------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't much care for country music
but I've got something y'all need to hear

Those on the right seem out to conquer
but we're all Americans and will not fear
-------------------------------------------------------------------
You preach the right to life so loud
but if found guilty then hang em please

Those mounted heads hanging on your wall
really tell me your pri-or-ities
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't have to wear the American flag
to prove I love my country too

In-tim-i-dation, man-ip-u-lation
ain't gonna make me follow you
-------------------------------------------------------------------
You're all for spreading freedom wide
as long as you can set the rules

It ain't gonna happen this time my friend
won't pay your price, we're not your fools

This sounds Superb bro!

The Laid back Vocal contrasts with the Lyrics and makes the song Very Listenable!

Superb!

bump - I started to write something about the turmoil going on in the US since the insurrection attempt in January.

Then I ran into this oldie that still fits...perfectly! (still can't sing worth a sh*t but no one picked up on the backing version on the collab board so it is what it is...)
