Should I hate a people for the shade of their skin

Or the shape of their eyes or the shape I'm in

Should I hate 'em for having our jobs today

No I hate the men sent the jobs away

[MrAlfred1995]

In Britain these lyrics are just as applicable to anywhere else, but it makes me feel better when I think about how our Conservative party are actually more left wing than the American Democrats.

[Chuck Norris]

People who hate Bush hate him for "Starting a war" But then again people who say that hate America. Bush did nothing wrong, no he doesn't deserve a president of the year award but he did what any patriot of this country would have. As far as im concerned if you kill an American thats warrant enough to kill all thous tali fuckers. We didn't go to war for oil like people say, it's just a bonus. After all, it's the people in the mid East who sell us the oil, we don't steal it. So blame them.

[Robert Blethen]

It's all Bushes fault? I don't think just Bush is responsible, all politicians are responsible for the condition of the country as it is now. They are not the same as we are, they all benefit from backroom deals and they are living off of our sweat and leaving crumbs for us to pick up. Wake up we the people are the government, vote the ins out, take back America from the special interest groups and the lobbyists. Stand up for yourself, bring back family farms, buy local products.

[Chuck Norris]

Not the place for hate, nor politics.

[Cheri Duke]

The poet laureate of Americana

[randall2020]

Worthy of Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs, and so many others.

[Barbara Lee]

This song just about covers it from the American standpoint anyhow. Democide is not a pretty picture.

[specialagent057]

Along with other interested parties, Bushes, war profiteers, globalist and others collectively known as the New World Order.

Well in Miramichi New Brunswick the little town it is. This ace is the closest to this song as we can get we were a fishing community and also a mill now theres not a thing here no jobs for anyone with no experience.People with good working skills are suffering sitting in front of computer.We cant make it here anymore.

[QTheLibertine]

This is such a timeless theme. When do we get to see the introduction of the unlawful bombing of Libya, the dead from fast and furious, the broken bent bodies from Syria or the dead from the lost revolution in Iran? Oh right, objectivity, I guess we can't make that here anymore.

[QTheLibertine]

Right, so he can rob you too.
