rate me

Spoken:

Following September 11th last year, everybody that was a poet or writer or a

song writer of any kind had a reason to write some words down or some thoughts

down on a piece of paper. And I was no different than anybody else, that's

what you do when you do what I do. And Uhh

My father served in the army in the 50's he lost his eye in a training combat

mission. He came home he put up a flag at the farm I was raised on. I lost

him six months prior to the attacks on New York City and the United States and

Uhh that flag flew out there in that yard and it's flown there every day.

He raised me right and he never bitched one time about losing his eye. Never

heard him cry about it one time, he was glad to go do it, that's why we're free

today and it's our turn to stand on what our fathers and fore fathers did for

us and make sure we don't let them down.

I wrote a song in the following days after September 11th it's called the

"Angry American" and I want to send it out to my father tonight.

Sang ....

American Girls and American Guys

We'll always stand up and salute

We'll always recognize

When we see Ole 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

Till 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 4th 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

And itll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you

Ahhh Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Ohhh Justice will be served

And the battle will rage

This big dog will fight

When you rattle his cage

And you'll be sorry that you messed with

The U.S. of A.

'Cause 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 itll feel like the whole wide world is raining down on you

Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Uhhh Ohhh

Of the Red, White and Blue

Ohhh Ohh Oh

Of My Red, White and Blue
