I wrote this song during his first term, and at the time I thought it was cringe. Three months into his second term I realized its time had come. Three months later, I realized it was already too late. Drums were recorded the day he signed the executive order criminalizing flag burning for federal employees. I was editing this song in the fallout of the Charlie Kirk assassination and the administration's move to start actively censoring broadcasters. The importance of this song for America today is not in the music or the lyrics, but in the words of Abraham Lincoln's Lyceum Address, echoing through time with a prescient warning for all Americans. 

Lyrics
I hold these truths to be self- evident, let's go

They say this land was made for you and me
Where we got the right to speak even if we got nothin to say
Yeah we're red, white, and blue in the land of the true and the free
But, sister, freedom's just permission if amendments can taketh away

That's why America has always been
And America will always be
And America always is 
A free country for now

She's got American flag lapels on her Sunday dress
Her Bible has a copy of the Constitution in front
She says the Pledge of Allegiance each and every time she prays
Yeah, her lips sing Jesus but her heart screams America

That's why America has always been
And America will always be
And America always is 
A free country for now

Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the sixteenth President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln

At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it?-- Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant, to step the Ocean, and crush us at a blow? Never!--All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.
At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

That's why America has always been
And America will always be
And America always is 
A free country for now

And America always is 
A free country for now

"A republic, if you can keep it" my ass
Poor Richard Dick Franklin didn't say shit about giving it away

AMERICA

A difficult Journey between a Father and Son.

One of the last radio stations in the United States that not only features local/regional content, but never forgets that radio is a one on one mode of communication. And, of course, we bring you classic rock/folk/world music from the 20th Century, but Americana from the last and this century as well.

Cultural criticism in the realm of music by overly-imaginative nerds.
