If tomorrow all the things were gone I worked for all my life And I had to start again With just my children and my wife I thank my lucky stars To be living here today 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom And they can't take that away And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you And defend Her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A. From the lakes of Minnesota To the hills of Tennessee Across the plains of Texas From sea to shining sea From Detroit down to Houston And New York to L.A. Where's pride in every American heart And it's time we stand and say That I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you And defend Her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A. And I'm proud to be an American Where at least I know I'm free And I won't forget the men who died Who gave that right to me And I'd gladly stand up next to you And defend Her still today 'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land God Bless the U.S.A.

----------GOD BLESS THE USA-------------------------------
"God Bless the USA" absolutely intrigues me as a song, not just because of how its sanitized family-friendly praise of America effectively brought forth this increased and mean-spirited strain of jingoism but because of how simultaneously it manages to sound like all the things and none of the things. It's a folk melody, but it's a country song, but it's produced with the sheen of a pop song, and yet it's delivered with the conviction of Michael Bolton saying "screw it" and doing a heavy metal power ballad while also being incredibly tender. It's an absolute mess of a song.

So I bring you my absolute mess of Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA." I do sample the asshats with the tiki torches to really drive home the point that this song has done a lot of harm alongside its feel-good sweet nothings, but that's at the end.

Also, Lee Greenwood really wants to bring '80s conservatism back. Guess he and Aaron Fechter ride the same taxi.
