“Hands Off Our Kids” is a cultural protection anthem rooted in parental responsibility, family sovereignty, and generational boundaries. The song speaks directly from the perspective of parents who believe that raising children is not a committee process, not a bureaucratic function, and not a social experiment. It draws a hard line between home-taught values and institutional overreach, framing family as the final authority in moral formation.

Musically grounded in Appalachian Americana Roots and Outlaw Southern Rock, the track carries a steady, resolute energy rather than rage. Its tone is protective, grounded, and unashamedly traditional, channeling the voice of families who feel sidelined, dismissed, or silenced for asserting their role as primary guardians of their children’s upbringing.

“Hands Off Our Kids” does not attack individuals; it confronts systems, policies, and cultural drift that bypass parents while claiming moral superiority. It reflects a broader moment of reckoning where families are reasserting boundaries and reclaiming responsibility — not through chaos, but through clarity.

This song is part of the We’re Basically Done album, a 35-track protest record capturing the breaking points, cultural fractures, and personal red lines of modern society.

It is also part of the Basically Done Original Soundtrack — the official musical companion to Donald E. Pickett’s novel Basically Done and the upcoming Basically Done series/franchise. Together, the novel and soundtrack form a unified narrative exploring integrity, family, truth, and resistance to institutional betrayal in late-20th-century America.
