America You've Lost Your Way by Scooter Scudieri

[BottlesAndKazooie]

i remember when this video was featured

[dasbakon]

I wish there was a version of this song with better audio. It's very tinny.

[FrozenNephilim]

I like your user name :)

[MentalToss]

And why does American Christianity go ahdn in hand with patriotism? Surely everyone should question there surroundings? Oh wait... if Christians did that they might explode

[MentalToss]

"haha you're an affront to the lord you're going to hell" What kind of forgiving christian LAUGHS at other people going to hell... real forgiving.

OLDWISEANDCURIOUS: "Wrong message" - who are you to decide what messages artisits should and shouldn't promote? wouldn't that defy the ultimate point in art. "Wash your face" again, shut up

It makes sense that the christians posting all have irrational comebacks and arguments considering they believe in a God which defies rational explantion

[annaisabel191]

haha you're an affront to the lord you're going to hell

[DevilsMourn]

rofl. good one :)

[coffeedefecit]

what lord? there is no hell....look around you- engage in the only life you have

[OLDWISEANDCURIOUS]

Nice song. Really. Looks like I do after a long winter. Wrong message, but nicely done.

It is always easier to tear down than to build up. If we can stop passing laws that appeal to our weakness and start passing laws that appeal to our reason, we will be happy. Less gov't.  More Christianity. More individual responsibility. Promote freedom.

Vote conservative. McCain/Palin.

PS. Wash your face. ;)

[Syrinx69]

Everything you said is OK except the "more christianity" part. Christianity and religion has fucked up this country and the world. We need LESS religious nuts and more rational thinkers. Religion is not conducive to freedom.

Reason and responsibility is giving everyone equal rights. Like same sex marriage.

Vote LIBerty.

[mikbry24]

How has Christianity "f****d up this country?" You draw a false dichotomy between "Religious" and "Rational." You wouldn't even have an America if it weren't for Christians. I welcome a rational debate on how Christians help this country instead of irrational statements like the one you just made. Homosexuals have all the rights that heterosexuals have. Nothing more, nothing less. What other laws do you want changed to accomodate those who break them? How is that rational? LOL

[OLDWISEANDCURIOUS]

Jefferson: The God that gave you life, gave you liberty.

Your freedom is derived from God.

You don't have to agree with it. You don't have to like it.

We are all free moral agents.

The freedom you enjoy is derived from that you condemn.

Enjoy it.

While you still can.

[MonarchPrincess]

You are one stupid knucklehead to think that. Try rebellious people with similar attitudes like yours that have messed up this country. We need less people like you.

[djjimi]

coffeedefecit, you have a gift my friend. It's been a long time since a song has affected me emotionally the way this one has.  I'd love to hear more of your stuff where can I get it?

[REVHATCHELL]

excellent

[InTheJoy]

This feels like the sway of a rocking chair ~ a philosophers lullabye. I really liked it!

but, May be it's too late for me & may be I'm sleepy, but, the song feels too long.

Create a shorten version so you can role out on mainstream w/ it.

'love, peace & harmony. oh very nice'

[coffeedefecit]

this is the most constructive criticism I've seen posted - i like your point- oddly enough, I added a string section to the song on the CD (Rattle to Rifle- available on my website)- it moves it along a bit - my style is more word oriented- there are points to be made- thanks

[MasterMark123]

this was quite good .. thank you fellow citizen ... I am afraid all is lost when the Republicans steal another election and continue this march into Madness.

[Stevis99]

True talent. Free speech is our right but to disrespect ourselves is the start of the sad demise of our society. You idiots that rally behind 'hate america" garbage should think about that. I respect Scooter's point of view although I disagree with it. Perhaps I'm the last respectful dissenter. It is unfortunate that nobody is writing songs about the incredible courage and leadership of our great country in a world full of cowardice, indifference, and tyranny. comments if you dare?

[BottlesAndKazooie]

this is what i call art.

[SmellsLikeTheRain]

This is amazing.

PEACE & LOVE

[krugg21]

What the fuck ?

[CommentSense]

American's are still a great people, unfortunately those in the positions of trust and leadership have taken the route of self serving lip service and lied to it's own people and on the behalf of this country - made our name "America" a travesty. The people are not pleased with the trashing it has received due to it's warmongering political regime any more than the people who suffer in other countries as a result. We only hope that a new revolt will change all that and PEACE & LOVE is restored.

[Schlickk]

WTF IS THIS SHIT

[DanCaveman]

It is good to see someone who cares! I went over 1000 miles to fight for this country. When I return my United States of America was replaced with the "homeland". Everyone wants to "win", but noone wants to "play". I hear people who haven't had to sacrifice at all say "how tired they are of the war". If everyone cared as much as this guy, we would be better....this country would be better...THE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER!

[NakedLadyMudFlap]

coffeedefecit....take 2 weeks off and then quit!!!

[DRAGONFIRELL]

DEATH BEFORE DISHONOR~NYA~

[m1rock]

what the fuck is this?! Its like Marilyn Manson on anti-depressants.

[clanzjh]

This song made me throw up a little in my mouth

[mobiloil1]

The title says it all. USSA is around the corner and "the elitest" want it that way!

...la, la, la..yea, yea,..Looks like Manson.

[pigoprha]

good job, lol than i cry

[Camilo19832001]

[ForeignLauren]

[loopydoug]

yeeeeeeah! Canada! i love Canada. second best place in the world. the best place is Ireland. decency, trans fats have been outlawed, and the most beautiful place in the world. its a simpler place there. a happier place. a place were you can see what life is really about: life. its like going back to a simpler, more beautiful time, and indeed, it looks as if the place is frozen in time and never changing. its my reason that i believe in god. not random event could have made Ireland.

[ForeignLauren]

Im half Irish, but was born and raised in South Wales a place also frozen in time. beautiful. I also do love Ireland, im proid of my heritage

[loopydoug]

as am i. infact, ive got a bit of Whales in me to. about 18 percent actually. not to mention my last name is whelsh: bowen, meaning son of owen. i have no idea who owen is though.....

[ForeignLauren]

Im half Irish 1/4 Welsh 1/4 Scottish so im straight up Celtic, havent been back since my family moved to canada though, cant afford it, hopefully in the new year, i do miss it so much

[loopydoug]

ive got some Scottish in me to. ive also got a tiny bit of German in me, so im basically all Celtic too(look up ancient Germania. who would have guessed Germans were Celtic). who, see ya.

[ForeignLauren]

Thats wierd Germans are Celtic lol strangeness. Love the Celtic heritage lol even if i wasnt its still AWSOME lol

[loopydoug]

indeed. well, im of to debunk conspiracies and make people mad at me for "distorting the truth with facts". see ya.

[ForeignLauren]

[mrhoar]

I'm Scots/Irish and German. God Bless all Celts!!! May we thrive in an ever scared world.

[onedollarjuggalo]

sweet ass video... songs ok i guess

[Szipro]

THis is a very good song, too bad its not appreciated. It deserves more views and respect.

[bibliochaos]

everybody judges people by the outside, people who say it mattters whats in the inside are idiotic

[KillerClam73]

Hahaha

America is the worlds over-worked asswiper that has a dumbass for a conscience/president

[Szipro]

very good, people should stop judging by appearance. They wont....they wont.

[MikoYusagi]

Awesome lyrics and message.

Rather interesting vid :P

I agree ... it's not the way it once was, where every American was proud to be an American and I, as a Canadian, dreamed of living in the USA full time. ... nowadays ... ya'll can keep it. ...

[mdonnelly1971]

Marilon Mansin? It sounds like a knockoff of the real deal. Kmart style.

[mazhyx]

HAHAHAH NICE COMMENT!

[lodroth]

lmao

[mjuslen]

blah blah

The world has been messed up for the last 100,000 years.

Deal with it

[lodroth]

Hahahahahaha true

[unasianazn]

You've got a moustache and lipstick. You are either one weird ass guy, or a bearded lady.

... You decide. Only you can handle your own fate...

Also, I didn't like the song.

[JimboJoy]

ppl like u are the ones who are ruining this country by just sitting around and complaining instead of doing something

[khalasiaf]

ok...he's got seriouse problems!!

[lodroth]

He?

[eddy737373]

this is stupid

america is a great place

[creepykid203]

lol ever been in a corrupted state (aka the big ones)

[ubamilitary]

yes your right! i love forced education and discrimination against those under 18! i love how im a father and a husband and im not 18, and how im not socially accepted. and thanks for offering abortion but no thanks. america sucks. faggot.

[lodroth]

[~_^]b Right on

[limitedholmes]

"this is stupid america is a great place" -eddy737373-

Your either delusional or retarded, thats coming from an englishmans point of view... i wouldnt step into america even on holiday, UK is bad enough, why would i wanna go somewhere even worse?

[XJetTheHawkX]

dude...emo...this is gay..

[KillTheRock13]

Great video. Really good points.

[WoodRatGirl]

Great song and lyrics.

I also love his voice.

I'm an NZer who has problem with a few pathetic Americans but that doesn't mean I hate all Americans because that's pathetic thinking and I have American friends and love alot of American music.

[RedHotChiliPeppers72]

what sucks about america is its government, and the ignorant people who follow it and its media (fox news) like a religion...other than that, i like most things about america too, esp the music...well most of it

[enterscope1parachute]

I really hope people understand that not all americans are evil. I love america! I hate the rich people who rule our country. I hate the fact people wont stand up for what is right! I hate that our troops are being killed for a lie! I hate morons who make stupid post about a coll ass vid! Maybe one day the world will learn to love and forget how to hate!

[Veilanof]

CREEEEEEPY!

[rochinfeller]

Really good. America isn't now what is supposed to be. Good people, leaders and proud.

[thekazo08]

Shut up mexican. Atleast I don't have to work all day to make 12 cents.

[carezzza]

you're an idiot

[OtakuBleach]

thekazo08 your racist dude >.>

[Rysste94]

im gonna womit thats just too emo!!!!!!!!

[skipv001]

this is gay

[carezzza]

YOU are gay

[wickletosh]

I like the song.. and it proves a point. Not going against everyone in America, but alot of Americans are cocky from just where they are. Don't ask why, but I've talked to people and I'll say I'm from Canada and they'll say they make fun of Canadians. We're not that far away, people are crusty and should just get along.

[38tripleD]

Whiny hippie makes a big stinky hippie poop.

[fwyesterday]

Typical hippie nonsense, but nice melody. Get the sense this is a person who clearly doesnt live in the real world probably in lieu of large amounts of dope smoking. Scooter .. do you live in the woods?

[Etimos]

This guy has been watching too much V for Vendetta, but chickened out of bombing the white house and opted for the hippy beatnick tree hugger flower power message instead.

JK, good song, i love the tune, especially the chorus. No, i'm not american, I'm canadian. Yes i realize that traditionally we're supposed to act like we dislike you. But bear in mind, americans, its just an act, it's a rivalry, not genuine hate, and that doesnt mean i cant acknowledge a good song.

[Stevis99]

The music writer has true talent. Free speech is our right but disrespect of our elected leaders is the start of the sad demise of our society. I respect Scooter's point of view although I disagree with it. Perhaps I'm the last respectful dissenter. It is unfortunate that nobody is writing songs about the incredible courage and leadership of our great country in a world full of cowardice, indifference, and tyranny.

[Tesselator]

But "cowardice, indifference, and tyranny" almost exclusivly describes the US and it's master; Britan. This song is rightious!!! Right ON!

[buckbeak1965]

I say, lets fire them all and start over!!

[Chandlerbin2006]

Shake up the political establishment. Restore the constitution, repair foreign policy and bring back monetary sanity. Ron Paul for president spread the word. Go to ronpaul2008,com our liberties are in the balance. This is not part of the official campaign; I'm just a concerned citizen.

Thanks.

[skysherif105]

Total ignorance.

[cliff850]

The music to this video really great. Original. Controversial. Expressionistic.

[jcblippy]

That's some heavy stuff. Amazing song. Too bad it had to be written.

[aSmallDelicateFlower]

"america you've lost your way" sometimes a truth is easier to say/hear in a song and you say it so poeticly.

This is best viewed on the large option so that the subtleties of the subtext aren't lost.

Thanks Scoot, for keeping us foucused. ~Lillian

[Pickinbuddy]

Great job, Scooter!

[moniclio]

Great work Rockstar!

Beautiful music and important message....

Keep in on.... keep it on....

;-)

Sakki-Sakki Artist

[Ryanmoran21]

Nice work scoot.. Powerful as always and the timing is right on..

[jazz1on]

Being from Canada looking in, I can understand the message. Keep the strength, do what is right at the moment you need to do it, in all aspects of life, and good will prevail! It's no longer about being an american as it's about being a human, with good in your heart. Peace to all.

[sheptet]

So refreshing to watch a performance video. The simplicity of the production allows you to concentrate on the message. And what an important message it is! Off to write my member of Congress!

[flappytaco]

What a cool idea for a video! I'm glad to hear you speaking up for what is important.
