If You Love America You Need To Hear This Song By Oliver Anthony: “Rich Men North Of Richmond”

I know it’s been a while since I’ve published anything and for that I apologize, you see, my wife and I have been dealing with a case of COVID-19 for almost a month now and truth be told, it kicked our butts!

Thankfully, we’ve been self-medicating at our home and have not had to be hospitalized. I attribute our ability to fight this awful bug, because we both were immunized early on in the pandemic and I think the vaccine helped us.

Anyway, enough of that.

I’m going to do something a little different with this article and instead of using a more traditional subject matter like you are all used to seeing here, I’m going to place a music video below, by a hard working young man named; Oliver Anthony.

The Song is called “Rich Men North Of Richmond” and it has gone mega-viral all over the internet (and for good reason!). The video below has already had over four million views and that number is escalating as we speak. I’m not going to say anything about it and I am going to let all of you listen to it and form your own conclusions.

I will say, that if you work 40 or more hours a week just to get by in this crapshow of an economy, I’m sure you will be able to identify with what Mr. Anthony (no relation) is saying. I’ll place the lyrics beneath the video for you.

Here you go:

[Verse 1]
I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

[Chorus]
Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

[Verse 2]
I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat
And the obese milkin’ welfare
[Verse 3]
Well, God, if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground
‘Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin’ them down

[Pre-Chorus]
Lord, it’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

[Chorus]
Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

[Outro]
I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
