Why in the name of God would you bleep it out? You think we are all just a bunch of children! Your just as sad a case as the people James is singing about! I will not watch any of your videos again! Maybe you should go work Obama and his censorship staff! Loser!

@wwebtime

It was already bleeped out you ignorant slag. It's pricks like you who just "assume" that are the problem, so FUCK OFF ASSHOLE

[Rozaleen]

Good choice of images - ruined completely by bleeping out shit when it occurs in the lyrics. Why should people be "protected" from good old English words like shit? Total disrespect for the author and his audience.

[sammytexas]

Agreed, It wasn't me that bleeped it. It was the only version I had at the time. I have since gotten the regular version and was going to go back and change it but will all the pic files scattered through several folders it was going to take foreverrr.

Yes we CAN make it here still - we just need

to throw out all those warmongering thieving

pigs from White House and Congress. Stinking

liars that spit on us and our children's

future and drag us into idiotic, useless

open-end war for which borrow $3.5 TRILLION

from China and send bill to you me, our kids

and grandkids.

You have touched me so deeply with these images. I have heard of James but never listened to his music. I am now a confirmed enthusiast. He's a New Woody Guthrie, a new Bob Dylan for the current generation, a skillful crafter of words and truth. I thank God somebody shared this link on facebook. I am in tears and gladly so, for anybody who can see this without tears has no heart.

[GrannyTenderstone]

@Rozaleen ruined completely? you are absolutely insane. If you think James has a problem with it, you are probably stupid too, I'm sure a man that sensitive cares about children who might happen upon the video. Obviously you must not have kids or if you do they probably cuss like sailors. Grow up you whiny brat.

[GrannyTenderstone]

@sammytexas I guess Rozaleen doesn't understand sometimes children will see videos with strong language and that out of respect for CHILDREN, which presumably Rozaleen once was, we tend to manage to get the POINT without the strong words. Poor Rozaleen can't handle it, what a shame. I AM CERTAIN JAMES would understand, but Rozaleen obviously can't. Disrepecting the artist my ASS. Rozaleen is the one who has no respect and didn't get her dose of strong words today boohoohoo.

Thumbs up if Lefsetz brought you here!

Mikncole: You make valid points. But I personally think that President Obama tends to be an exception to that kind of behavior. Yes, he is a skilled politician. Sure, he got significant support from Wall St. making him vulnerable to being viewed as a product of that mentality. But if were honest with ourselves, this 30 plus year strategy by the rethugs to sabotage the American economy began with the tax increase loving Ronald Raygun and fine tuned by the bush-cheney cabal, it was going to take

Enjoyed the song. It should be noted President Clinton signed both the GATT and the NAFTA treaties, not either of the Bush Presidents. Doesn't matter, bottom line is, as a nation, our leaders have become consumed by greed on both sides of the aisle. It is time for us to figure it out for ourselves instead of counting on "leadership". We need to come together and focus on moving forward, not point fingers and complain. We are Americans...overcoming impossible odds is what we do!!

I like this version a lot! Great photos! I don't mind the bleep at all. Means I can share it with people who might be offended. You know exactly what he's saying anyway!

[ecobill1]

Good for you, now people cannot understand reality to often since brainwashed on American Idot and all the other media bullcrap to escape.

[CassiWoo]

i wonder how many ppl realize just how many Democrats voted for the NAFTA bill! Kerry, Kennedy, Liberman, Baucus, Biden, Daschle, Dodd, Leahy...so don't dare blame this all on the Republicans! Both of the Clintons were for it, too. It isn't all corporate America that did it to us either...it was also the unions demanding such high wages where the businesses just couldn't afford, nor did Americans what to pay for higher priced items. It's ALL our fault!!!
