  • Welcome to America

  • To KenzieTaylor012-- I think Salmonella is the least of his worries right now.

  • Does it bother anyone else that he was taking out the garbage, and then bit the glove off ?

  • Is that the preacher from Deadwood?

  • @cliffedred no

  • @181sincity I dont want to be a dick and post a question then argue with who ever answers but i checked it out and it is Ray McKinnon from Deadwood. Cool clip though, love the Drive by Truckers

  • @cliffedred

    I just checked the DBT site and it is!

    Awesome!

  • georgia construction hell yeah!! i love me some red clay

  • they had to have been talking about inventory associate when they wrote this song. it's way more de-humanizing than fast food. as least with fast food they talk to customers and sometimes hot chicks work there.

  • I heard the piano and had to come in..........

  • I heard of these guys from Dunlap on Red State Update. They are a political comedy of you have never heard of them.  So as far as a political statement, this video is a clear indictment of the current, "if you ain't hatin' that nigger you are an asshole" mentality of the repuke republichristians in America. I have noticed that anyone degrading BOTH PARTIES is an embarrassed republican voter that just cannot admit he made a mistake. Try pulling your head from your ass. PUKE!

  • Excellent video for these times

    

  • @Trilobite8jesus Race is only part of the reason for inequality. A person's social status, income, sexual orientation, gender, and ethnic background are major factors of it as well. Their are many groups of different races who have lived out their lives in inequality just cause of their beliefs, nationality, or life style.

  • Aw, poor white people losing their jobs. They have to deal with social inequality. They have to put up with people hating them for leaving a horrible country to try to make money for themselves or family. They have to deal with coward political groups like the minutemen coming in to their house and killing them and even their little girl. Poor white people. They have to deal with having white history day everyday. They were extracted from their homelands and were turned into slaves.

  • 0:22-0:33 reminds me of my job

  • Um...did the sheriffs just shoot an unarmed man? Da fuck man?!

  • example of hope and change....

  • this is hope and change that you voted for how is it working out for you...

  • Kind of selfish to leave a wife and 2 kids without a dad. Great song though.

  • @Smutking Human nature has not changed a bit in recorded history. People with nothing left to lose are dangerous. That is why successful tyrannies make sure the peasants always have at least a little left to lose.

  • Why is a DBT video not shot in the south. Damn. Don't forget where you come from folks.

  • @fishbyfly1 Just because you're from the south doesnt mean everything you do has to be done in the south. They aint forgot where they're from. I mean, if you write a song about the Rocky Mountains, you probably wouldn't shoot the video on the Everglades because you're from South Florida.

  • Great song depressing vid but I get it..

  • "the fucking end." hahaha

  • Look up "Oligarchy" kids . . . it's what we've been living in since about 1870 or so . . . .

  • The main character is the preacher that gets a brain tumor in HBO's Deadwood

  • Aren't the cops supposed to shoot the guy in the thigh or foot, a non-lethal shot, as opposed to the chest? Seems messed up since the dude didn't even pull out a weapon or anything.

  • @RockinTheRhein No. It may seem messed up, but they're taught that if they shoot, they shoot to kill. Its not just cops either. If you go to any firearms safety class thats one of the things they teach you. Because if you're ever going to shoot someone its supposed to be because its a You or Them situation.

  • 6 Million people would love to have his Job / Welcome to the Obama Nation - Worst GD Piece of Shit President in History

  • @DIEWHENIMGONE Obama has nearly nothing to do with the current economic situation. It's a result of 30+ years of concerted effort to erode and destroy the middle and working classes and elevate the rich. Obama is no different than Bush, Clinton, Bush, or Reagan. He's simply the current face of the same party that's been running this country for a long time now.

  • @Secturis Are shitting me? nothing to do with current economic situation? no different my ass !

  • @Rliquidice How is what the Obama administration is doing any different from what either Bush's or Reagan did in terms of economic practice? It's the same voodoo trickle-down horseshit that's been going on for 30+ years. Presidents come and go, but the money that puts them there stays the same.

  • @DIEWHENIMGONE You win: stupidest comment I've read today.

  • Yea!!! Let's vote in more liberals so the government can take everything we have and we can all live liike this!!! Yea!!!

  • found this video last night and have already watched it like ten times --- on a side note, the main guy in the video looks a lot like the preacher from Deadwood who gets a brain tumor and dies ... anybody know if they are the same actor?

  • @hndead

    It's the same actor - Ray McKinnon. He's a friend of the band.

  • Jesus FUCK! Always political every fucking comment section of every fucking video on youtube, coming from the keyboards of dicksniffers that couldnt name their own senators or even fucking mayors. But when it comes to Dancing with the Presidents oh you have your shit opinion and you drag a Drive-by Truckers video thru it. Obama doesnt like you, Bush didn't like you, none of them did or will ever care about your shit. Stop looking for your king and be a leader of your own life.

  • @TheWhiteyBrown

    lol, thank you.

  • @TheWhiteyBrown

    Holy hell, I just shoved my own incipient racist rant up my own ass.

  • @TheWhiteyBrown Best comment of the year!!!

  • @TheWhiteyBrown I heard of these guys from Dunlap on Red State Update. They are a political comedy of you have never heard of them. So as far as a political statement, this video is a clear indictment of the current, "if you ain't hatin' that nigger you are an asshole" mentality of the repuke republichristians in America.

  • @kingachybraky Wanna have an internet fight? you can reply to this with something and then I reply and then we see who wins, winner gets to kill themselves - i forfeit --- PS Don't just throw around the nbomb over the internet like that, words hurt. puke/repuke.

  • @TheWhiteyBrown Dude, if I wanted a fight all I have to do is go into Springfield, MO wearing a democratic cap. But beating the shit out of rednecks can only be entertaining for so long. They lose all control when they learn I think they are inbred sister-fuckers.

    When seeing a democratic cap, almost without fail, the first words out of a redneck, repuke, republichristian is "What are YOU? A NIGGER LOVER???" usually followed by an insult to my mother. Very christian of them.

  • @kingachybraky

    dude you need to get the fuck outta where you live and stop the blame game....we are all in control of our own destiny...walk forward...not into the mire

  • @houseboat2020 Dude, you really think Texas has fewer redneck idiots? Or maybe Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Kansas, or Oklahoma? The deep south is even worse and California--fruits and nuts.

    "Blame game" is funny. The demoncraps blame the republichristians and the republichristians blame the demoncraps when it is, in fact, they that are the problem. One side wants illegals made welcome, one side wants to execute women for having a miscarriage. THEY ALL BLAME WASHINGTON, BUT IT'S THEM!

  • @TheWhiteyBrown holy crap i would like to talk to u lol..... respect

  • Obama nation indeed, waitin for that "fucking end".

  • Great band. I'm seeing them soon. 

  • The Fucking End... lmao

  • this shit is so true, i lost my job and this is how i feel!!

  • Great song/video, but he never should've quit Burger World. 

  • OBAMANATION!!! Get Used to it...

  • @sscoots969

    Pffft! Bush-league Nation, more like. He and his crew left us this mess.

    Here's hoping Obama's really trying to clean it all up. Imagine what a worse mess things would be if John & Sarah had continued the long drive toward the cliff.

  • actually, shawndog81 is right and you, oldpegan, are a fucking idiot. And yes, garryt is right, the president doesn't control the economy. But we had a budget surplus when clinton left office. You republican fucktards like try to change the facts to suit your needs, but a minimal amount of research can determine that reagan/bush/bush fucked things up. the only 8 years prosperity we've enjoyed in the last 40 were under clinton. fucking deal with it.

  • shawndog81 is one blatant idiot garyt37 is closer to the mark. a free market economy can only exist in a free country not a socialist fed populace. Mr Hood just had the bad luck of timing this track to the downfall of the undeserving receiving the out come of a falsely conceived idea to redistribute wealth by allowing anyone to own a home or credit. Roll out the thank yous Mr Clinton.

  • Anyone who thinks the president controls the economy is a fuckin idiot.

  • @garryt37 They sure have a lot of influence on it when they strongly believe every American should own a house so they urge interest rates to be low. Causing bubbles to form and so on. Obviously there are other culprits that are far more worrisome than the president.

  • sad cuz this shit is true and all you guys cant blame this ecomonic bullshit in just one person as in whatever presadent is in at the time its lazy coward people everywhere us is not the only place fucked and its when people arguee about crap like this insted of trying to figure out better ways to improve the world is why we are seeing stuff like this video all the time

  • Why did they kill him? Ohh becuase cops are cowards and kiill people every day

  • i like the ending to the edited video better

  • Fuck me... And I thought this was going to be a funny video :(

  • Taking the easy way out, I see.

  • This is real life now thanks to G.W. Bush.....too bad it wasnt him gettin popped

  • @shawndogg81 you are truly stupid aren't you?...Bush didn't cause all your problems...it sure wasn't fine and dandy with Clinton around either, keep all your bullshit president bashings to your self because no one cares.

  • @pinpoint45 Wow. You need to learn some history. Do yourself a favor and pay attention in class son.

  • @pinpoint45 Actually buddy you are wrong.. we had an economic surplus during the clinton era. so before you act like you know what your talking about at least google it before you make yourself look stupid. Face facts BUSH has ruined this country.. Im not promoting Obama here but he is is trying to work with what mess was started before him.

  • @shawndogg81A lot of tricks were used to create the illusion that we were going to have an economic surplus. Bush SR.'s tax increases to pay off Reagens debt helped a lot.

  • not like Obama is doing any better!

  • The dude from this video looks like the preacher guy from deadwood and the dud working the gas station or whatever place he tries to rob looks like arthur buko from sopranos

  • @JeckeL007 he is the guy from Deadwood- very cool.

  • @525blues niiiiice dude i thought so

  • Trickle down economics in effect.

  • @Porthbot It's trickle up.

  • Yeah, that's real heroic. IF YOU DON'T LEAVE A WIFE AND KID BEHIND.

  • i loveeee these guyss!! <3

  • Just started listening to these guys. So far what I hear is pretty awesome.

  • man this is sad but a good song

  • so sad that this is where America is today...well said Mr. Hood

  • This character reminds me of Townes Van Zandt for some reason.

  • He should have shot the asshole at the fast food place

  • The lead played the "preacher" in Deadwood

    The man is brilant

  • i heard this song at work lol!

  • Looks like the Accountant is going through some hard times...

    ...just like the rest of us.

  • Comment removed

  • anyone else have problems with youtube videos stopping halfway through? is it youtube's fault? is it vevo? is it adobe? What Is It? it's been happening for weeks/months now

  • @immeohmyoh it you.

  • @geraldbret thanks, i updated flash, i think that's helped, though it still did it. i lol'd your last fave.  you have an interesting mix

  • I got fired from my office job when my girl got pregnant.

  • Incredible video, stunning social commentary. I watched it 5 or 6 times in a row. I guess it's a stupid video to some. But so many people are losing everything they've worked for in today's economy. People don't always make the right decisions under pressure. Someone who would not steal for themselves may do anything for their family. I don't condone his actions though. But you get the sense he was a different man before receiving that pink slip. The day it all changed.

  • press alt-f4 to skip ads

  • good song

    the video is dumb

  • After watching this video, guess what ad pops up at the bottom...

    Fucking Mcdonalds that's what.

  • Dumb video, like anyone with a family in that position would do that. ++ Cops would not fire at an unarmed person. Like him dieing is going to help his family stupid!

    but good song.

  • They did a real nice job opening for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers in Chicago this summer. I'm now a fan

  • LOVE THE SONG AND VIDEO

  • you are a representative of mr fish & chips! you MUST wear the hat! its part of our image lol:) anyone name that movie?

  • @3legged1 fast times?

  • always love your music, been a follower for about 2 years now. Keep on making good music, very powerful video, and sad, but great. I feel for the guy.

  • i hate vevo on every video the has innapropriate words in it they have to say explit or blank them out but i know that this song has two music videos

  • When times get bad, you almost always see a rise in guitar-based rock. Let's hope it happens again. 

    Great, underrated band.

  • a true gangster redneck name

  • police in real life wouldnt of done tht. it would have been hadel better thn tht

  • @alltimepartyer It's a fucking music video.

  • @alltimepartyer YOu gotta be kidding. They kill people like that everyday

  • I like the part where he didn't tie up the trashbag

  • I like the song. The video is weird, but makes a point. There is a culture of corruption in the American police system, but most people calling them "nazis" are retarded hippies who wouldn't know a Nazi if one stepped on their neck.

  • honestly i think that would have called for a taser in that incident, or something non-lethal, but how did they know he wasnt armed? they have a right to defend themselves and he would have been fine if he's stayed put and followed their instructions. cops have a rough job and im sick of fuckers saying they should die when the people that say that are probably just like that guy in the video, a fucking loser. if more people like that did what this guy did with the cops, there'd be less morons.

  • the cops had no choice they dont no if he would attack them.

  • im sorry to dislike this but it is just too sad. He killed himself but left his wife and kids behind. So selfish.

  • lame as fuck. nothing is ever that bad.

  • I love DBT. And although someone made a comment about how we are "supposed to feel sorry for this guy" I don't feel that was the point of the video. We live in a very unstable world, people are becoming desperate and while the decisions they make may not be honerable, I think it shows everyone has their breaking point. I myself have worked a series of crappy jobs. I would never rob anyone but there are those days where I could just throw everything down and walk out. The Fucking End.

  • Are we supposed to feel sorry for this guy? He gets pissed and quits his job, knowing he has a family to take care of, because the manager yells at him for not doing what he's been told repeatedly to do. Then he commits armed robbery and makes the cops shoot him, leaving his children without a father. What a dick.

    That said, I love the Truckers.

  • fuck you google and your ads

  • the way life is

  • God I hate this Bruce Springsteen ad.... UGH

  • The Fucking End.

  • Two people are douchebag managers at Burger Bum.

  • Such a good video, fucking good.

  • Uh....Why would they shoot the guy because hes walking at them? LOL

    Maybe if he was walking at them with a gun pointed at their faces, lol.

    Whole video ruined by something so blatantly stupid.

  • @ScreamingRestless they shot him because if who knows what he would have done they shot because they wanted to be safe if u do that to a cop they would most likely shoot u.

  • @ScreamingRestless People have done stupider things when committing "suicide by cop". Like running naked at them and trying to punch them when they yell Freeze. put your hands up. Sit down. Put your hands on your head.

  • why does this sound like jason isbell?

  • Love this song It's kinda like the Rock/Alt-Country verision of Aloe Blacc's I Need A Dollar

  • wow...

  • lol, it looks like the guy running is wearing designer jeans.

  • im not gonna favorite this because of the song, but because of the video

  • God Damn Pigs - Sadly thats what they do,Kill innoncent unarmed people(Daily)

  • @thomasandtanga Hmm, lets see you steal a gun, try to rob a grocery mart, then fail to obey orders when fingered by the police. Idiot!

  • @stopglobalswarming I would have atleast tried to shot the cops first (LOL)

    Welcome to Nazi America,Pigs shooting unarmed Citizens.Its already happening(daily) Fuck all cops and I hope they all die

  • The music is pretty generic, not bad. The lyrics are pretty good though, like some people said below very relevant lol.

  • Great song and video...very relevant to the shitty economy.

  • Only John Marston makes the cut-off denim jacket cool. Sorry.

  • okaaay. but this is a weee bit unrealistic. Innocent people get shot and die everyday no doubt, but any cop knows that the dude has to have a weapon visible before they shoot and they would never shoot a dude in the chest multiple times in this scenario. I doubt even a shot in the leg at that point. Plus that guy is completley selfish for walking into his death like that. I mean what went through his mind? "well, I lost my house and my job so know life aint worth living. Forget my wife and kid"

  • @iwillbuyyouanewlife I think the implication is that his wife left him with baby in tow

  • @iwillbuyyouanewlife its just a music video, maybe it just amplifies the way he felt

  • @ThePussyaddict Sure you're right ish but I'm just saying that the video is a bit complain-y. Real police would have used taser and I don't feel sorry for the guy at all. What a dope to end his life like that over something so temporary. Sometimes I feel like people don't know what good stuff is coming to them. They give up too early. But you're right I'm sure a lot of people love the video the way it is.

  • Was this guy the epileptic preacher from "DeadWood"?

  • who did that guy play in deadwood?

  • @WallaceWang The epileptic Preacher!

  • @PFerrisL aaah well met. indeed he did . thank ytou

  • Good band, good song. I disprove of vevo however.

  • wasn't so Explicit

  • ive been working fucking fastfood for 7 years now and have never been able to happily support just myself. And I tell them I aint fuckin em unless I can afford to get them pregnant, cuz baby birth control is just a game of russian roulette. It will happen eventually. That and everytime in the past the condom always gets ripped off...I hate them. Im surprised im not a father already. Guy's like me just try to do whats right with what we got and we end up in a warzone, or gunned down by the police

  • @MrTex1987 Actually, when used correctly birth control is hightly effective.

  • @moodysoup Riight. And sperm is really effective when she doesnt tell you shes stopped taking it. REALLY effective. Thats why you cant trust nothin that bleeds for 7 days and doesnt die.

  • these guys are very talented and from my home town! ^_^ and what an intense video!

  • Comment removed

  • well that would suck

  • iv'e never heard thid band before today, pretty damn good. Great video

  • thats fuckin cops for u. they fuckin kill u for walking in theyre direction

  • Man, that sucks.

    It really does.

    And that kind of shit happens all the time.

    Some cities have that more often than others...

  • they were the opener for tom petty concert and they sounded terrible live.

  • @ryanak88 im seeing tom petty tuesday, originally they were suposed to open, but i guess zztop is now. :P

  • @ryanak88 These guys are one of the tightest/ best sounding live groups that I've ever seen...not once in 6 shows have they disappointed me in any way. Everyone ought to take your opinion here with a liberal handful of salt.

  • @MrZuss Apparently you haven't been to very many good performances.

  • Comment removed

  • @ryanak88 I've definitely been to plenty, but I won't bother listing them unless you really want me to get into it (I've seen Wilco 5 times). I know what a good rock show sounds and looks like, and all 6 times the DBT haven't let me down. It's that simple. It doesn't take much of a musical aficionado to tell you what sounds good.

  • Snooze.

  • wow. never heard of this band. awesome video.

  • fuck working for other assholes. start your OWN business!!!!

  • cops would have shot their entire clips and hit him in the chest ot higher

  • @MrDeathPunch1 yahh thts y they r pigs

  • too bad it didnt show the other 30 bullets they would've pumped in him.

  • @superevilposm fukk u nd tha pigs

  • underrated band right here.

  • @myoor12 band's alright, videos is much better than the song.
