Patriotic Country song #2
Yes, I will keep harrassing you about Patriotic Country.Robosquirrel brought up a very good point in his latest post, and I thought I'd do a post too, but this song was more eloquent than I could be.
(Country fans will have heard this one for sure, so this is for you non-country fans!)

I hear people sayin'
we don't need this war
But I say there's some things worth fighting for.
What about our freedom
and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in.
Before you start your preaching
let me ask you this my friend.
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire.
And her people blown away.
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell.
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden.
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me.
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say.
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday.
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight.
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right.
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away.
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell.
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden.
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field.
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on.
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
