Now this nation that I love Has fallen under attack A mighty sucker punch came flyin? 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 shakin? her fist And the eagle will fly Man, it?s gonna be hell When you hear Mother Freedom Start ringin? her bell And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue 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 shakin? her fist And the eagle will fly Man, it?s gonna be hell When you hear Mother Freedom Start ringin? her bell And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue http://www.tobykeith.com/music.htm [As you can see, Toby Keith's views are a little bit different from Michael Moore.] -- Steven D.
