![]() I'll take fighting for equality and this country being politically divided any day over sitting back and letting marginalized communities suffer an endless cycle of poverty, oppression, and erasure. There wouldn't be a fight if there weren't bigoted hateful people trying to turn the country backward to what it used to be like this song is suggesting. Hearing a song about oh how we've forgotten how great we used to be as a country when we didn't fight and weren't as divided is just belittling. This isn't as problematic as songs that human garbage cans Jason Aldean and Brantley Gilbert have put out spewing conservative rhetoric, but honestly this song just pisses me off because in so many ways we have made such great progress in this nation to make things BETTER. But LOL at this song just complaining about how all this country does is fight nowadays when the literal second line of the original version of this song is "I say there's some things worth fighting for". It's still bad, but less 'angry old white man' and more boring and vague just complaining about how things used to be. Honestly, I was expecting this to be a whole lot worse lyrically.
