Angry American (Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue) live version Lyrics Artist(Band):Toby Keith
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 If you find some error in Angry American (Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue) live version Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Angry American (Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue) live version Does anyone even get the point? | Reviewer: Arick | 8/20/2008 Confused American | Reviewer: Brittany | 8/20/2008 I can't believe the extent people will go to try to make people see their point. Poeople are going to thing want they want no matter what any one else says. Personally, i love this song. If America wants to stay one of the worlds 'super-powers', then we need to defend our country. No, i don't like the war, i don't like how many people are being killed on a daily basis, but some things need to be done in order to protect our freedom thatb we as Americans live for. Just think of it like this, if you don't like America and you live in it...then move, try out Africa for a while where their starving, or how about China where they make a sport out of horse fighting and they kill there own children as a ritual. please, think about what you say because these soldiers that are dieing in Iraq are dieing for YOU. wow! | Reviewer: emily | 8/8/2008 okay i love this song. i wish people would get the int that nobody REALLY likes the war. but we have every right to defend our country. our soilders are doing a wonderful job. God, i would hate to see whoever says this is a god awful song like that one guy did run this country, then we'd all be screwed. this song has a meaning to it. and toby kieth did a great job with the lyrics. :) SSgt Stevens | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/19/2008 You people should be ashamed you yourselves.I've seen people that I consider family die in this war.I have lost my brother in this war. The way some of you were talking it was as if you hate this country that I and others have so bravely fought for. You don't even know how stressful it is waking up every day not knowing if your going to die this day,even in base you don't feel safe. I hope you people are happy with your selves and what you've been saying. Right on Toby! | Reviewer: ja | 6/24/2008 I love this song and the fact that the troops love it should be enough. It is a great song with great lyrics. I dont know who that person was that said only New York would get attacked because the rest of us were to stupid but all I can say is, ARE YOU HIGH? Sounded like he might have a little hatrid for the USA. norm | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/9/2008 this song is pure god awful crap! "well i love my country and i got me a wife i beat her ass almost every night i stick my dick in her but and i like to shoot guns dem niggers best be on the run" thats all i hear when i listen to this song.congrats america your a great country with great morals and out standing willingness to just follow the blind.you've made minority's your slaves,you've even killed other people who had different ideas then you.you killed the british just because you didnt like how they were running things.real bad asses.a real cowboy of the 21'st century.im sure you will get thoughs twicky waskly tewworists.if only you werent to busy chasing a invisible man to really see whats going on.millions of dollars leaving your pockets to fight a war for black gold.and all the funds go into the states pocket.not the country's pockets but the states.the governments.they are leading you aimlessly into a slaughterhouse.you're government is killing its own people for its own fat selfish greed.you bitch at the world for its unjust and unfair trials and yet you do nothing to stop your won corruption that is afoot.i ask you this american citizens.who is the real face of terrorism?is it osama or is it bush? cause the way i see it it's bush.he decided to attack his own country with a plane(well actually lets be serious here the only thing bush is capable of planning an attack on is an ant hill,even then its a difficult mission)bush lead your people to beleive that iraq attacked your humble little country and just as hitler did in germany he did in america ,he convinced you all that you were wrongly done,that you were cheated out of what you deserve.he gave you pride,will and strength all very powerful dangerous things in the wrong hands.and his hands are indeed stained black. this song makes me laugh | Reviewer: Sam | 4/6/2008 Thats right Toby Keith! you tell 'em. Osama bin Laden shouldn't have rattled the Big Dogs cage, he shouldn't have messed with us. Oh boy will he be sorry........Oh wait, what's that? its been more than six years since September 11? and Osama is still a free man??? Say it ain't so. I laugh at this song. It's stupid Nation | Reviewer: David Herzog | 3/25/2008 I agree this has a lot of emotion put into it...its one of my favorite songs... im a sophmore in high school and i can relate to this song alot i mean somewhere along we all had someone fight in the military to protect this country. in my JROTC there was a quote on the board that i liked it said, "One Nation, One Pain. Our Sorrow, Their Shame" Corrupted | Reviewer: David Herzog | 3/25/2008 as much as i love this country, and one day i will fight for it, it is corrupted. i mean with government and all this other crap. i mean as i said im a sophmore, but i wqaant to klnow about how my education is going to be affected. instead of the future of america, the students, they focus on others. yes there is a war and i personally believe it is going to be world war 3, but people don't want to bring up this topic because they are afraid if the mess up with schooling that we wont vote for them. well bullsh*t we need it and well i had litlle faith in our country. then i heard this song then i remembered why we are corrupted. we are in a crisis and need to support this crisis because without support we wont be free. the troops need to know that we are out here and know that we dont take them forgranted. we are fighting each other in here and some cant focus on out there. you know i once heard that war is not an interuption in peace, but peace is an interuption in war. basically toby has every right to be mad. his da, my grandpa, and several people in are or have family in the military at some point. this song encouraged me not give up faith on my country and hopefully it will do the same for some other. MAY GOD BE WITH THE TROOPS AND THEIR FAMILY! Its. Just. A. Flag. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/8/2008 To Mark: The major flaw in your last post was assuming that I am an American, which I am not. I'm a Canadian citizen. I didn't really think it was relevant. And please, don't get into some big "America is better than Canada because blah blah blah" thing. I don't care. I don't endorse Canada or any other country. Civil war spreads in Africa, sure, just like it did in 19th century U.S.A. People in Asia starve, yeah, as do many of the 13% of Americans living below the poverty line. I'm not really trying to criticize the United States here, I'm just saying it's ignorant to think it's flawless. I've traveled all over the U.S., I like it a lot, good people, beautiful places. But it IS a bit of a frightening place to a visitor. Most citizens like to just let the wool fall over their eyes and do what their told. Again, spookily similar to Nazi Germany. Lastly Mark, a flag IS just a flag. It's a piece of cloth, and I'd proudly wipe my ass with any nation's. I'm not really sure if anyone died for your flag, at least since you won your independence, but you should be pissed off if they did. Really, what's one war in your independent history that really had anything to do with freedom and safety in the United States? Saddam Hussein was a tyrant and a murderer, but he didn't have a chance in hell of taking your piece of cloth away from you. In the end, one tyrant just replaced the other.
