Even here in Zimbabwe we hear you man! Been working from the age of 15 with no respite in sight. Even now at half 2 in the morning I'm at work. Cannot afford to have a family, my family name dies with me. Cannot bring another soul into this world to suffer unless I can guarantee their life will be better than mine.

I raised 5 kids, single mom with no help. Held 3 jobs sometimes, sold Avon on the side, I worked my a** off to keep a roof and food. I had not medical insurance but made sure they had. I'm 67 and they're all grown and 3 months ago I went into a deep depression. All that work. All that stress. What do I have to show for it? Thank you for this song. It's an outlet for all the anger and stress of so many people all over who are tired of being tired of being tired.Thank you.
I'm 52. Married my childhood sweetheart! We sacrificed for our kids. I worked. She stayed home. We home schooled. She passed away in 2018. So now I am alone, raising our last 3.... Those kids, and a small home, are all I have to show for a damn lifetime of blood sweat and tears. Those kids though??? They are doing BETTER that I was doing at their age! I cried when I first heard this song, but for THEM...not me.
You're a Star, bright and beautiful. You gave yourself up and all dreams you had to get them kids on a straight path. No amount of praise from gov would suffice to reward you for what you have done for the kids...bless your soul, High up the sky He sees your effort ❤️ bless your soul 💞
"What I have to show for it" - Dear friend - you don't have to show anything to anyone. The only One that saw it from the day one, from the Cross, sees it. He is the only One to sweat and work hard for, not for us. God bless you!
Life is Hell...I'm 52 and work way too much. No time for family, probably get divorced. I hear this song and it makes me cry. We need more of truth in our lives.
No shit! I worked all my life killing myself for my family and then my old lady decided she wanted to be a strong independent women. Now I'm paying her alimony. Fuck it! If it wasn't for my young adult kids, I would just go to jail rather than pay her. I'm broke, but I am going to come out on top, or die trying.

People need to start admitting the real reason this all started going south and it wasn't the last few presidencies. Its our whole generation and it's been the sacred cow of the last 30 years. The marginal tax rate for wealthy people used to be 91% than 70% and now it's 38%. Does anyone really think that trickle down economics worked? Taxing the obscenely wealthy at such a low rate only allowed the wealthy to hoard more wealth and create more billionaires. That means that the purchasing power of normal people keeps going down. The super rich drive up prices of all our necessities from rent to housing. They buy up more real estate in investment properties and keep driving up prices to where normal people can't afford to live. Property tax rates keep going up to benefit the wealthy and squeeze out the middle class and poor. Homelessness is at its highest point in decades while investment properties sit empty. You don't need to be a genius to know that even if your wages go up slightly, if a wealthy person gets way more wealthy, your prices go up. Imagine a farmers market where a billionaire is willing to pay a million dollars for an apple. He's gonna get that apple while everyone else starves, even if the farmer has enough apples to go around.
I was born and raised in a small village in China, but the lyrics of this song powerfully resonate with me. My parents are almost into their 80s now, and they have never had good days in their whole lives - they have endured much pain and struggle even unimaginable to me. Nowadays, the so-called 'elite' (whether in the USA or China) is busy developing big and fancy ideas, leaving the working poor stuck in devastation. Politicians always talk about human rights, but in the meanwhile, they deliberately ignore our basic needs: the right to survive. Our meager earnings are even not enough for the rent and the utility bills.
this song resonates with all the people who are sick and tired of how things are so screwed up in our modern world. the people of China will be put through hell again if the fat emperor decided to invade Taiwan.
Are you still in China? I was under the impression that you cannot see things like this on your internet connection. Regardless, after reading through comments it is phenomenal to see this man's music touch every corner of the 🌎.
Oliver, thank you for uniting us all with this song in a time when we were so divided. This song and "Clover Cage - Stand Up For My Country" are the two songs that helped with my depression. I just want everyone to know things do get better. We are in this together. I love you ❤😊

@@georgeetter7558 I re-read this today. And was recently reminded by a Romanian friend of mine who lived in a communist country for the first 24 years of her life. She lost her parents to communism and moved to the US to get away. She said people would regularly disappear never to be heard from again. But it does make me worry - if it can happen there, it can happen here. Hopefully we muster the courage and wisdom to overcome this threat. I believe our nation is at risk of falling apart, just like Soviet Union did in 1989. These are dark days, and hopefully we emerge victorious, but it is far from guaranteed and unless people actually DO something, we will lose.
I (as in we the people) dictate to this government, this government does Not dictate to us. And that's where the first and second act in chorus... I say whatever to whomever I please so long as I don't yell fire in a library. No 2nd, and you better watch that mouth.
They call themselves patriots (Republicans), but ironically this is a pretty anarchic and liberal song , only conservative value mentioned is wanting less taxes, the left is the side pushing for increased pay and wants ceos to make less and share with the workers
I hope in ten years have to explain why this song took off to my kids. “It was a bad time. People were struggling and Oliver just hit the right chord at the right time.”
It’s a good point. Great comment. The fact that this song took off, as beautifully expressed and true as it is… it’s also sad. Sad that such a gloomy song sung by a dude in his backyard about how hopeless it is for young men has become the #1 trending song worldwide.
By that time, you would have transferred the rest of their future over to a small elite class. This is the result of failed trickledown economics started in the 80s under Reagan. Until we go back to regulating, taxing and breaking up these corporations it will only get worse.

Please learn how we got here - corrupt US sociopaths taking over countries to EMBEZZLE from more and more governments. They took over Australia in 1975, I assume you know the coup done then with some CIA help. Whitlam obviously had said NO to the embezzling plans. Anyway, here is the MINIMUM we need to know in order to end the reign of corrupt sociopathic money ADDICTS who have been embezzling government money for decades: Remember Henry Ford said that there would be "revolution before tomorrow morning" if the people know how the money system actually worked? Well, the corrupt sociopaths in power know that government money can be issued IN ANY AMOUNT for anything that is physically possible, and they have arranged scams for decades to EMBEZZLE that money! The major one is "privatization", where they pretend they will run something better than the government and "like a business", but this scam is designed so they can bill the government ANY AMOUNT, providing massive exec salaries and insanely high profits. Wall Street firms fall over each other to invest - so do most Congress (or Parliament) members - when these entities are put on the stock market, because they know that profits are guaranteed via fiat government money. They all know that government money is NOT OUR TAXES, and that countries that issue their own currency do NOT have an actual "national debt" that the liars love to fearmonger us about, etc. We need to know what they want kept hidden from us. The US has been taking over countries since WW2 to do this embezzling scam and has built a corruption cartel of many lapdog countries; the liars demonize any leader who does not submit, to manipulate public opinion so we go along with the coups, invasions, assassinations, etc. The US also directs the WHO, created the WEF, and monolithic entities like Blackrock, Vanguard and others got so big by participating in the embezzling globally! We need to see the BS and FIGHT the lunatic money addicts and their inhumanity. They lie us into wars & then embezzle most of the war money through "privatized" war companies, incarcerate people to enrich themselves via "privatized" prisons. "Privatized" healthcare enriches insurance companies and related companies & investors, another corruption scam where they get torrents of government money but do NOT spend it on the healthcare people need. Vax companies and the digital ID systems to subjugate us are also privatized! So are all the entities to track and control us that the liars pretend are to "help the climate": social credit, ESG, carbon tracking, digital bank currency, 15-minute cities and more. The scheme was to get TRILLIONS from many governments FOREVER while ensuring we could not rise up to stop their corruption, tyranny and inhumanity. (Pretending there is not enough energy, oil, food is how they will try to force us to get those digital IDs - they will say it is so we can get our "rations" and UBI etc to try to survive.) This electronic prison to subjugate is being finalized, so time is running short for us to expose them and stop their plans for us. They use cloaking terms like "private" prisons, "for profit" healthcare, "public-private partnerships", etc, because they know that there is public backlash against privatization; we should always push back and use the CORRECT term when they do this. Currently, public education is being privatized by calling it "school choice" and "charter schools". The lunatic money addicts in power lie, destroy and KILL for more "money fixes". They are totally UNFIT TO GOVERN and should face charges of dereliction of duty, violating the Constitution, embezzling federal money, crimes against humanity, violating the Nuremberg code, war crimes and more.

This can be the new national anthem, and we need a different flag and, most of all, different leadership. There's nothing more anti-American than America, and it's been a plutocratic mess from the very beginning, unfortunately. The flag is based on that of the East India trading company.
@@skidaddleskidoodle595 I did a search and found "The origins of the (our) flag's design are unclear. It closely resembles the British East India Company flag of the same era, and an argument holds that the BEIC flag indeed inspired the design. The BEIC flag could have from 9 to 15 stripes, however, and was not allowed to be flown outside the Indian Ocean". And most Americans think it's just fine.

How do he have property and a shiny guitar and things while supposedly slaving away for no money while also having time to do the "hard work" (hahahaha) of sitting around singing and whining like a little hurt foo-foo dog and playing his little expensive toy? Must be nice. Meanwhile, I know people who have had a HARD life full of problems not by their own making who struggle, work as much as they can and barely scrape by with welfare. And, it's perpetuated from people like YOU and HIM that vote in people that demonize them for having the audacity to not have all the luck you twinkies have had, BOYS. You seem to be the weakling "welfare" queens. How do he afford his lifestyle? FU Look at YOURSELVES, before putting YOURSELVES above others, scumbags.
Oliver Anthony, dude, dude, holy s***You hit the nail on the head. My man, that song is awesome. This is what the country needs right now. Your voice, your heart, this is going number one. You're a true Patriot. God bless your brother and may the Lord have a hand on your shoulder.
Depends which god you mean. If it is the one taking over education forcing Trump Bibles to be bought and used in American public schools? No thanks! Here in Texas common sense is out the window- the right and left have both gone mad!
Amazing. He sang in less than 4 minutes what I truly believe the vast majority of Americans feel every day about our Government. Every member of Congress should be forced to listen to this. Maybe they would learn something about the people they’re supposed to represent! Excellent song Oliver. God Bless!
Hey, as a friend.. the federal reserve ( produces the fake money) is a independent banking system. In 1913 Woodrow Wilson allowed it to happen and he is a scum bag coward for doing it. Read the book "the creature from jekyll Island " will give you the truth
They won't learn my friend, they already know who we are and they hate our guts for even thinking we should have the tiniest bit of freedom. We are the basket of deplorables and they want to squish us like insects, and now they have the power they'll do just that.
You don't know how much this song speaks to all of regular hard-working Americans. You've got it, bud. This is your time. We're all behind you, man. Thank you for sharing this.

Not really. I'm working class. I live in the midwest. I voted for Trump the first time around. I'm pro free speech, totally against woke. I think the family structure is the basis of civil society and am probably more socially conservative than most of you. I can tell you that nobody in fly over country is complaining about the welfare benefits they may need in a failed economic system where wages adjusted for inflation have stagnated for 4 straight decades. This video is GOP astroturf. They want to steer working class social conservatives back on to the Reaganomics plantation because it won't threaten their corporate donors. The same reason the Democrats steered their base towards woke social justice wedge issues after Occupy.
As a Dutch “working class” this song hits so f* hard. I work 60 hours a week just to pay all the bills and have some money to do fun stuff. Before this song I’ve never heard of you but your now in my alltime favourites! God bless you
@@gerryhudson8069 Honestly, I would say billions of people. In this globalist and elitist landscape, the common people of every corrupt country are starting to awaken. Songs like this really help more people open their eyes to the garbage they've been putting up with for far too long. This young man is doing a great service in the way he knows how. I hope he stays on our side of the fence and doesn't get pulled into the other side of the equation. Unfortunately, in order for him to make a living making these type of songs, he will need to play on both sides. Good luck to him on his journey from here. It certainly won't get easier for him from here on out if he wants to keep fighting the good fight.
Oliver, thank you for this song as it united us all in a time when we were so divided. Your voice is heard, and this song proves all of our voices are heard too. This song and "Clover Cage - Stand Up For My Country" are the two songs that helped with my depression. I just want everyone to know things do get better. We are in this together. I love you ❤🎉
@@firestick4991 Rich men? You mean like multi millionaire Donald Trump who cost US taxpayers hundreds of millions in security for his golf weekends, taking more golf trips than any president in history and who cut taxes for the rich?
I'm working overnights, my husband works days. Making the most we've ever made in our lives. Still struggling, still living pay check to pay check just to feed the kids, pay the bills, and forget child care. Nothing is getting better around us. This song rings in my soul.
Same with my wife and I. Glad our son started school this year. Bills will go down a bit, start saving again. Eat better and catch up on some bills. It's hectic 🤦🏾♂️ Also still trying to adjust back to civilian life after a year deployment. GOD got us though. We will continue to push and make sure we live a good life.
I work nights and my wife works days, we say the same, and that if it were just 4 years ago we’d be making enough to live like kings! As I’m on the way home to catch her before she leaves at 6am for two minutes I just wish I could work day and spend more time with her and my kids.
It brought tears to this Patriots eyes! God bless you brother Oliver! When will our government really hear us. This is a great start. We love our country.
A beautiful chord progression, the Gm sets the tone on this 4 chord cycle. Gm I've been selling my soul D# Working all day A# Overtime hours for F Bullshit pay Gm So I can sit out here D# And waste my life away A# Ride back home and drown my F Troubles away
Until our ppl realise dem or rep, the two party system is a scam used to divide ppl on race, gender issues while they both agree on sending young men to war in far off places while closing our factories and relocating to poor countries the mean of production while the owners get rich beyond belief & we look at Detroit, flint, Chicago and we are left in a state of decay & under financial burden working our fingers to the bone to survive.
Today is my bday and I have this playing non stop. This song and "Clover Cage - Stand Up For My Country" are the two songs that helped with my depression. I just want everyone to know things do get better. We are in this together. I love you 💕😊
Even here in Zimbabwe we hear you man!
Been working from the age of 15 with no respite in sight. Even now at half 2 in the morning I'm at work.
Cannot afford to have a family, my family name dies with me. Cannot bring another soul into this world to suffer unless I can guarantee their life will be better than mine.
Someone finally gave us a voice!

I raised 5 kids, single mom with no help. Held 3 jobs sometimes, sold Avon on the side, I worked my a** off to keep a roof and food. I had not medical insurance but made sure they had. I'm 67 and they're all grown and 3 months ago I went into a deep depression. All that work. All that stress. What do I have to show for it? Thank you for this song. It's an outlet for all the anger and stress of so many people all over who are tired of being tired of being tired.Thank you.
I'm 52. Married my childhood sweetheart! We sacrificed for our kids. I worked. She stayed home. We home schooled. She passed away in 2018. So now I am alone, raising our last 3....

People need to start admitting the real reason this all started going south and it wasn't the last few presidencies. Its our whole generation and it's been the sacred cow of the last 30 years. The marginal tax rate for wealthy people used to be 91% than 70% and now it's 38%. Does anyone really think that trickle down economics worked? Taxing the obscenely wealthy at such a low rate only allowed the wealthy to hoard more wealth and create more billionaires. That means that the purchasing power of normal people keeps going down. The super rich drive up prices of all our necessities from rent to housing. They buy up more real estate in investment properties and keep driving up prices to where normal people can't afford to live. Property tax rates keep going up to benefit the wealthy and squeeze out the middle class and poor. Homelessness is at its highest point in decades while investment properties sit empty. You don't need to be a genius to know that even if your wages go up slightly, if a wealthy person gets way more wealthy, your prices go up. Imagine a farmers market where a billionaire is willing to pay a million dollars for an apple. He's gonna get that apple while everyone else starves, even if the farmer has enough apples to go around.
@@traciefergwho gives a shit?
I was born and raised in a small village in China, but the lyrics of this song powerfully resonate with me. My parents are almost into their 80s now, and they have never had good days in their whole lives - they have endured much pain and struggle even unimaginable to me. Nowadays, the so-called 'elite' (whether in the USA or China) is busy developing big and fancy ideas, leaving the working poor stuck in devastation. Politicians always talk about human rights, but in the meanwhile, they deliberately ignore our basic needs: the right to survive. Our meager earnings are even not enough for the rent and the utility bills.
this song resonates with all the people who are sick and tired of how things are so screwed up in our modern world. the people of China will be put through hell again if the fat emperor decided to invade Taiwan.
Are you still in China? I was under the impression that you cannot see things like this on your internet connection. Regardless, after reading through comments it is phenomenal to see this man's music touch every corner of the 🌎.

He wouldn't have the trailer due to the extra taxes.

BELIEVE IT BROTHER !@@georgeetter7558
@@georgeetter7558 I re-read this today. And was recently reminded by a Romanian friend of mine who lived in a communist country for the first 24 years of her life. She lost her parents to communism and moved to the US to get away. She said people would regularly disappear never to be heard from again. But it does make me worry - if it can happen there, it can happen here. Hopefully we muster the courage and wisdom to overcome this threat. I believe our nation is at risk of falling apart, just like Soviet Union did in 1989. These are dark days, and hopefully we emerge victorious, but it is far from guaranteed and unless people actually DO something, we will lose.
I (as in we the people) dictate to this government, this government does Not dictate to us.

They call themselves patriots (Republicans), but ironically this is a pretty anarchic and liberal song , only conservative value mentioned is wanting less taxes, the left is the side pushing for increased pay and wants ceos to make less and share with the workers

It was artificially promoted. Things are nowhere near bad. You're just a spoiled first-worlder.
Under rated comment
It’s a good point. Great comment. The fact that this song took off, as beautifully expressed and true as it is… it’s also sad. Sad that such a gloomy song sung by a dude in his backyard about how hopeless it is for young men has become the #1 trending song worldwide.
Damn I resonate with this statement well said my friend. I hope your life finds luck and happiness!

Bingo. It’s exactly what we all know is going on and what we are all thinking.
HE CERTAINLY …
UNITES US ALL ❗️
Please learn how we got here - corrupt US sociopaths taking over countries to EMBEZZLE from more and more governments. They took over Australia in 1975, I assume you know the coup done then with some CIA help. Whitlam obviously had said NO to the embezzling plans.
Anyway, here is the MINIMUM we need to know in order to end the reign of corrupt sociopathic money ADDICTS who have been embezzling government money for decades:
Remember Henry Ford said that there would be "revolution before tomorrow morning" if the people know how the money system actually worked?
Well, the corrupt sociopaths in power know that government money can be issued IN ANY AMOUNT for anything that is physically possible, and they have arranged scams for decades to EMBEZZLE that money!
The major one is "privatization", where they pretend they will run something better than the government and "like a business", but this scam is designed so they can bill the government ANY AMOUNT, providing massive exec salaries and insanely high profits. Wall Street firms fall over each other to invest - so do most Congress (or Parliament) members - when these entities are put on the stock market, because they know that profits are guaranteed via fiat government money.
They all know that government money is NOT OUR TAXES, and that countries that issue their own currency do NOT have an actual "national debt" that the liars love to fearmonger us about, etc. We need to know what they want kept hidden from us.
The US has been taking over countries since WW2 to do this embezzling scam and has built a corruption cartel of many lapdog countries; the liars demonize any leader who does not submit, to manipulate public opinion so we go along with the coups, invasions, assassinations, etc. The US also directs the WHO, created the WEF, and monolithic entities like Blackrock, Vanguard and others got so big by participating in the embezzling globally! We need to see the BS and FIGHT the lunatic money addicts and their inhumanity.
They lie us into wars & then embezzle most of the war money through "privatized" war companies, incarcerate people to enrich themselves via "privatized" prisons. "Privatized" healthcare enriches insurance companies and related companies & investors, another corruption scam where they get torrents of government money but do NOT spend it on the healthcare people need.
Vax companies and the digital ID systems to subjugate us are also privatized! So are all the entities to track and control us that the liars pretend are to "help the climate": social credit, ESG, carbon tracking, digital bank currency, 15-minute cities and more. The scheme was to get TRILLIONS from many governments FOREVER while ensuring we could not rise up to stop their corruption, tyranny and inhumanity. (Pretending there is not enough energy, oil, food is how they will try to force us to get those digital IDs - they will say it is so we can get our "rations" and UBI etc to try to survive.) This electronic prison to subjugate is being finalized, so time is running short for us to expose them and stop their plans for us.
They use cloaking terms like "private" prisons, "for profit" healthcare, "public-private partnerships", etc, because they know that there is public backlash against privatization; we should always push back and use the CORRECT term when they do this. Currently, public education is being privatized by calling it "school choice" and "charter schools".
The lunatic money addicts in power lie, destroy and KILL for more "money fixes". They are totally UNFIT TO GOVERN and should face charges of dereliction of duty, violating the Constitution, embezzling federal money, crimes against humanity, violating the Nuremberg code, war crimes and more.

This can be the new national anthem, and we need a different flag and, most of all, different leadership. There's nothing more anti-American than America, and it's been a plutocratic mess from the very beginning, unfortunately. The flag is based on that of the East India trading company.

@@skidaddleskidoodle595 I did a search and found "The origins of the (our) flag's design are unclear. It closely resembles the British East India Company flag of the same era, and an argument holds that the BEIC flag indeed inspired the design. The BEIC flag could have from 9 to 15 stripes, however, and was not allowed to be flown outside the Indian Ocean". And most Americans think it's just fine.

@@donwat91 All I'm saying is ' not in a small town ' is not a country song.
My small town is a ' old folk country ' town.
It's just amazing how people from all walks of life resonate with this song.
Except rich men north of richmond lol
Funny how you said resonate and that’s the type of guitar he’s using it’s called a resonator
I am a rich man in Dallas but hell no I aint no rich politician. I am a man of the people
It's also sad that so many of us relate to this song.

This is SO Powerful! Thank you Oliver, and for everyone's comments! Keep speaking the truth! Much Love from Canada ❤ 🇨🇦🚚
Damn neighbor… your furor is almost as bad as ours. Long live Canadian truckers.
How we feel living under a Trudeau government
@@TWFICB I think ours might be worse! Thank you neighbor, means alot 🙏
We see what's going on up there and it pisses plenty of Americans off too. We're in this boat together. Keep up the good fight.
Absolutely, we're in this together. Thank you!
Anyone working an hourly wage can relate to this song. His words hit home but his voice hits your soul. The People’s Anthem!
Guess which party wants to raise the minimum wadge? It ain’t the trump right.
Guess which party wants to tax us to death, it's not Trump's party.. Trump 2024
I'm salaried and I can relate!
Not really. I'm working class. I live in the midwest. I voted for Trump the first time around. I'm pro free speech, totally against woke. I think the family structure is the basis of civil society and am probably more socially conservative than most of you. I can tell you that nobody in fly over country is complaining about the welfare benefits they may need in a failed economic system where wages adjusted for inflation have stagnated for 4 straight decades.
This video is GOP astroturf. They want to steer working class social conservatives back on to the Reaganomics plantation because it won't threaten their corporate donors. The same reason the Democrats steered their base towards woke social justice wedge issues after Occupy.
@TheBlueMeanie nah, they just wanna fund n@zis to the tune of 150 billion is all
As a Dutch “working class” this song hits so f* hard. I work 60 hours a week just to pay all the bills and have some money to do fun stuff. Before this song I’ve never heard of you but your now in my alltime favourites! God bless you
before this song, no one had heard of him. It's amazing how this song resonates with...thousands....millions maybe.
@@gerryhudson8069 Honestly, I would say billions of people. In this globalist and elitist landscape, the common people of every corrupt country are starting to awaken. Songs like this really help more people open their eyes to the garbage they've been putting up with for far too long. This young man is doing a great service in the way he knows how. I hope he stays on our side of the fence and doesn't get pulled into the other side of the equation. Unfortunately, in order for him to make a living making these type of songs, he will need to play on both sides. Good luck to him on his journey from here. It certainly won't get easier for him from here on out if he wants to keep fighting the good fight.
@@christophgeorgey3250the Other Side ?
This song is for the world
Je werkt 60 uur en verdient geen zak... Wat voor werk doe je?
Oliver, thank you for this song as it united us all in a time when we were so divided. Your voice is heard, and this song proves all of our voices are heard too. This song and "Clover Cage - Stand Up For My Country" are the two songs that helped with my depression. I just want everyone to know things do get better. We are in this together. I love you ❤🎉
This is the sad truth about this country and finally there’s a song about all of us, the working people. Thank you Oliver🙏🏼👏👏👏
Not just the great usa mate,,its grim here in the UK flooded with illegal invaders and leftist twats 🇺🇸🇬🇧
Woody Guthrie in the 1940s, Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs
Yes, the song sure hit me to my very soul.
It’s not just our country. These rich men are worldwide. And the people identifying with this song are also worldwide.
@@firestick4991 Rich men? You mean like multi millionaire Donald Trump who cost US taxpayers hundreds of millions in security for his golf weekends, taking more golf trips than any president in history and who cut taxes for the rich?
I'm working overnights, my husband works days. Making the most we've ever made in our lives. Still struggling, still living pay check to pay check just to feed the kids, pay the bills, and forget child care. Nothing is getting better around us. This song rings in my soul.
May the lord bless you and your family.
Same with my wife and I. Glad our son started school this year. Bills will go down a bit, start saving again. Eat better and catch up on some bills. It's hectic 🤦🏾♂️
Also still trying to adjust back to civilian life after a year deployment. GOD got us though. We will continue to push and make sure we live a good life.
I work nights and my wife works days, we say the same, and that if it were just 4 years ago we’d be making enough to live like kings! As I’m on the way home to catch her before she leaves at 6am for two minutes I just wish I could work day and spend more time with her and my kids.
I hope things get better for you. Just remember you are doing what's right and best for your children. God Bless you
Amazing song brother. You've touched touch the heart of America love the song man
It brought tears to this Patriots eyes! God bless you brother Oliver! When will our government really hear us. This is a great start. We love our country.

What government? The Shadow government?
This is not even about Patriotism really! This is about respect for the common man. Love this song.
Until our ppl realise dem or rep, the two party system is a scam used to divide ppl on race, gender issues while they both agree on sending young men to war in far off places while closing our factories and relocating to poor countries the mean of production while the owners get rich beyond belief & we look at Detroit, flint, Chicago and we are left in a state of decay & under financial burden working our fingers to the bone to survive.
Waste of time waiting on this government of self serving corrupt fascists.
Today is my bday and I have this playing non stop. This song and "Clover Cage - Stand Up For My Country" are the two songs that helped with my depression. I just want everyone to know things do get better. We are in this together. I love you 💕😊
