Reason.tv's Remy has introduced a hilarious new song parody that takes Toby Keith's Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue to a whole new level.
Essentially, it's a commentary, both funny and sad, on how the federal government dives headlong into government overreach after terror attacks and begin infringing on individual liberties.
It's something the Obama administration is extremely good at. Case in point: Orlando. Instead of the focus staying on the fact that an Islamic terrorist slaughtered almost 50 Americans, the narrative was quickly changed to gun control for the rest of us law-abiding citizens.
Having a hearty laugh is a great way to head into the Independence Day weekend and the song is a reminder to never forget to fight for our independence, not just from foreign enemies, but also domestic.
Full lyrics below:
My daddy came to this country
he escaped from Iraq
and he came with nothing but a dream
of the American flagHe wanted my mother, my sister
our carpet and me
to grow up and live happy
in the land of the freeNow this nation that I love
is under terror attack
another sucker punch came flying in
from this punk in the backYou think you can start a fight
and we'll roll over and die
man we'll light up your world
like the Fourth of JulyWe're gonna tap this guy's phone
take his rifle and then
force companies to make software with
backdoor access and thenWe'll be raising his taxes
make him pay for these toys
and whenever he goes flying we'll be
cupping his boysYeah it'll feel like the whole wide world
is raining down on you
brought to you courtesy
of the red, white, and blueWe'll run up debt and be
so underwater on loans
you'd swear Ted Kennedy
had probably driven us homeYou think you can pick a fight
and make us change our free ways
we'll put a dude in his ass
it's the American wayWe'll tap this guy's browser history
have due process decreased
and when he bites a shape in Pop Tarts
we're gonna call the policeWe'll put your name in the papers
you'll be famous in malls
and when this guy goes to New York
they'll be cupping his ballsYeah don't it feel like the whole wide world
is raining down on you?
that's brought to you courtesy
of the red, white, and blue[PATRIOTIC VOWEL SOUNDS]
