The American Way
Hello Good People~
While I'm not all that patriotic these mad days, I believe largely in The Constitution of the United States and especially the 1st and the 2nd Amendments. There's a reason the Forefathers placed them at the top.
That said, this little three-chord-and-the-truth came along. Any feedback is much appreciated.
Thank you for listening ===> https://soundcloud.com/reneelachapelle/the-american-way
The American Way
[Chorus]
Say watcha mean
Mean watcha say
No mincing words
The American way
The American way
[Verse 1]
The First Amendment
Is mighty fine
Along with the Second
A firm lifeline
If you don’t like it
You can leave
You won’t find better
Better believe
[Chorus]
Say watcha mean
Mean watcha say
No mincing words
The American way
The American way
[Verse 2]
There are politicians
In high places
Pushing PC
To cover all bases
But their agenda
It ain’t freedom
Nor is it just, I say
Who needs ‘em?
[Chorus]
Say watcha mean
Mean watcha say
No mincing words
The American way
The American way
Do-do-do, do-do-do, Do-do-do, do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, Do-do-do, do
…….Say watcha mean
Mean watcha say…….
[Chorus]
Say watcha mean
Mean watcha say
No mincing words
The American way
[Verse 1 Repeats]
The First Amendment
Is mighty fine
Along with the Second
A firm lifeline
If you don’t like it
You can leave
You won’t find better
Better believe
…….Say watcha mean
Mean watcha say…….
Do-do-do, do-do-do, Do-do-do, do
Do-do-do, do-do-do, Do-do-do, do
[Chorus]
Say watcha mean
Mean watcha say
No mincing words
The American
The American
The American way of life.

@HummerWisdom - good lyrics. but you keep referencing the 2nd amendment, which is the right to bear arms, you have the right to free speech covered.. maybe change a firm lifeline to defends my life. my thoughts :)

Oh they’ll be a lot of politics flying coming up , you can count on that
Sounds good Renee1 -
@bhengen Thank you for your feedback. I meant for the song to be mainly about free speech. But knowing the 1st Amendment without the 2nd and vice-versa, we're dead in the water. I was hoping that would be somewhat understood. But I will give your feedback some thought, thanks!
And since both amendments are always being attacked by the psychopaths running the shi....show is how the 2nd Amendment came into play.

@HummerWisdom - Renee, that may be true, but they are independent of each other. freedom of speech doesn't grant the right to bear arms. the right to bear arms, doesn't guarantee freedom of speech, religion, etc.

@HummerWisdom - I support both btw. :)

@bhengen good to know, Bill that you support both. And yes, the right to bear arms MOST certainly guarantees free speech; but only IF arms are used against tyranny. However, merely bearing arms does keep the oligarchs a bit at bay. The 1st and the 2nd go hand in hand. Without the TWO working together; lose one OR the other, we're dead in the water, thus "firm lifeline".
And sorry if this got too political. I know this is not the place. If you want to private message me, Bill, I welcome you.
