FORMER REDNECK FASCIST TURNS AMERICA-HATER

That's right. The man who wrote and performed the ultimate anti-hippy song, "Okie from Muskogee," Merle Haggard, has a new anti-war, anti-Bush song.

Here's a link to the song's video courtesy of his website, courtesy of Crooks and Liars.

Here are the lyrics:

AMERICA FIRST
Written by Merle Haggard

Why don't we liberate these United States
We're the ones who need it the worst
Let the rest of the world help us for a change
And let's rebuild America first

Our highways and bridges are falling apart
Who's blessed and who has been cursed
There's things to be done all over the world
But let's rebuild America first

Who's on the hill and who's watching the valley
Who's in charge of it all
God bless the Army and God bless our liberty
Dadgum the rest of it all

Yea, men in position but backing away
Freedom is stuck in reverse
Let's get out of Iraq and get back on the track
And let's rebuild America first

Why don't we liberate these United States
We're the ones who need it the most
You think I'm blowing smoke
Boys it ain't no joke
I make twenty trips a year from coast to coast

What with the new Neil Young tune it's getting to be more and more like the 60s every day. Cool.
