noen amerikanske sanger

[Gjest konservativ_norsk_amerikaner]

Her er tekstene til noen amerikanske hitsanger

Jeg for min del synes det er rørende hvor sterk støtte troppene får fra USA`s folk,

i motsettning til all pepperen de norske soldatene som risikerer livet sitt for å sikre at irak er noenlunde stabilt får

Ingen er for krig. Men av og til er det simpelthent nødvendig. Noenganger må man kjempe for det man tror på!

(Angry American)

Sung by Toby Keith

American girls and American guys

Will always stand up and salute

Will always recognize

When we see Old Glory flying

There's a lot of men dead

So we can sleep in peace at night

When we lay down our head

My Daddy served in the army

Where he lost his right eye

But he flew a flag out in our yard

Till the day that he died

He wanted my Mother, my Brother,

My Sister and me

To grow up and live happy

In the land of the free

Now this nation that I love

Is falling under attack

A mighty sucker punch came flying in

From somewhere in the back

As soon as we could see clearly

Through our big black eye

Man we lit up your world

Like the Fourth of July

Chorus:

Hey, Uncle Sam put your name

At the top of his list

And the Statue of Liberty

Started shaking her fist

And the eagle will fly

And it's going to be hell

When you hear Mother Freedom

Start ringing her bell

And it will feel like the whole wide world

Is raining down on you

Brought to you courtesy

Of the Red, White and Blue

Oh, justice will be served

And the battle will rage

This big dog will fight

When you rattle his cage

You'll be sorry that you messed

With the U.S. of A.

Cause we'll put a boot in your ass

It's the American way

Hey, Uncle Sam put your name

At the top of his list

And the Statue of Liberty

Started shaking her fist

And the eagle will fly

And it's going to be hell

When you hear Mother Freedom

Start ringing her bell

And it will feel like the whole wide world

Is raining down on you

Brought to you courtesy

Of the Red, White and Blue

Of the Red, White and Blue

Of my Red, White and Blue

Have you forgotten?

I hear people saying we don't need this war

I say there's some things worth fighting for

What about our freedom and this piece of ground

We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down

They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in

Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend

Chorus

Have you forgotten how it felt that day?

To see your homeland under fire

And her people blown away

Have you forgotten when those towers fell?

We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell

And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden

Have you forgotten?

Verse

They took all the footage off my T.V.

Said it's too disturbing for you and me

It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say

If it was up to me I'd show it everyday

Some say this country's just out looking for a fight

After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

Repeat chorus

Bridge

I've been there with the soldiers

Who've gone away to war

And you can bet that they remember

Just what they're fighting for

Chorus 3

Have you forgotten all the people killed?

Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field

Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?

All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on

Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden

Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten

American Soldier Lyrics

I'm just trying to be a father,

Raise a daughter and a son,

Be a lover to their mother,

Everything to everyone.

Up and at 'em bright and early,

I'm all in my business suit,

Yeah, I'm dressed for success from my head down to my boots,

I don't do it for money, there's still bills that I can't pay,

I don't do it for the glory, I just do it anyway,

Providing for our future's my responsibility,

Yeah I'm real good under pressure, being all that I can be,

And I can't call in sick on Mondays when the weekends been to strong,

I just work straight through the holidays,

And sometimes all night long.

You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door,

Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey I'm true down to the core,

And I will always do my duty, no matter what the price,

I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrafice,

Oh, and I don't want to die for you,

But if dyin's asked of me,

I'll bear that cross with an honor,

'Cause freedom don't come free.

I'm an american soldier, an american,

Beside my brothers and my sisters I will proudly take a stand,

When liberty's in jeopardy I will always do what's right,

I'm out here on the front lines, sleep in peace tonight.

American soldier, I'm an American,

An American,

An American Soldier

Æsj.

Nasjonalistisk krigspropaganda blir ikke bedre med rim om melodi.

[Gjest strandhai]

Må bare få fortelle deg en ting. Jeg bodde i USA i fjor, da de gikk til krig mot Irak. Dagen etter at vi fikk vite det, hang det flagg overalt. Og i så godt som alle hager var det skilt med "We support our troops" etc. Og da hangarskipet US Abraham Lincoln kom hjem til basen rett ved der jeg bodde, skulka jeg og resten av vertsfamilien min jobb og skole for å stille oss opp langs kaia med flagg og plakater. Akkurat sånn som hundrevis av andre gjorde!

Amerikanerene lærte en lekse under Vietnamkrigen. Da de soldatene kom hjem ble de møtt av demonstranter og en regjering som ikke ville ta ansvar for de soldatene de selv hadde sendt ut i krig. Nå ville man vise at det gikk an å være mot krigen, men samtidig støtte soldatene som ble sendt dit. Jeg klarer ikke se det gale i det.
