Life saving song brother. 36 yr old semi truck driver locally here in phoenix AZ. I spend 70 hours of every week hauling sand and rock out of the quarries, trying to live within my means. In 3 minutes I feel like I have 25 million people by my side. Thank you sir.

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!
Washington DC has become a giant capitol of bribes and many western governments are suffering from the same ills . nobody was prosecuted for Epstein's island - it says it all . Current president of the USA is a long time crook ,he does not work for us but only for himself and his cronies he is surrounded by the web of criminals and enablers .Criminals will not prosecute themselves , it is time for GENERAL STRIKE and mass incarcerations of corrupt politicians and their cronies in medias , half of DC should be in jail .

That's not what the songs about.... maybe you should mention black water and the Heritage Foundation that owns Trump that's what's going on are you rich? That's what the song is about are you rich?

42, wife, 2 kids, working since 96’, blue collar through and through. This song gives voice to the quietly desperate, a synthesis of our blood sweat and tears, it’s a composition of our dirty hands, depleted accounts and the disconnect of the overlords.
I am from Russia, and this song hits my heart, I am an ordinary worker, moreover, I am currently at work on the night shift, listening to the song I already felt strong lines without even knowing what the song is about, then I translated the text into our language and it touched me.. There are a lot of people from different countries, and it's great to read your comments, hold on friends, for the sake of your family, I wish you all good health and don't get sick!
I’m torn on what’s better, the song or reading the comments connecting people from all over the world. Cheers to everyone who feels this song in their heart.

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!
I weep that I will never afford to bring children into this world. I weep that I cannot afford the medical procedures I need to alleviate the suffering. I weep that I will never retire, work myself into the grave. Great work, sent shivers down my spine. Not only the music, but the message. Thank you.
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 🌎.

unfortunately, those systems need to be torn down. It's like trying to paint an outhouse so that it doesn't stink anymore. We need to shitcan the entire thing, all the people, and start locally controlling our own stuff. For instance, in California where I live, every city and county has to abide by ridiculous shit that is legislated at the State level. We have to make more housing in a place with water and housing issues for people who will never be able to afford to live here. It's out of control. It has to stop.
I took on the school, the years out of work, and the loans to get that big city, high income job. Taxes. I lose half in taxes, and the rest is just chewed up in food, gas, cars, and the kids. Everyone who works for a living is going backwards.

It will take all of us to defeat the devil and his cabal and the committee of 300 who serve them.

This song is USA's National Anthem today; The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem, but Rich Men North of Richmond is the people's anthem now. SUPERB. God Bless Oliver Anthony. Lord protect him. KEEP writing and singing son of God.
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.
I am a 31 year old French Canadian, working a full time job while starting my own company in the forest industry. This song hits me right in the feels. I hope I could start a family.

@@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.

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.
Amen, time for workers to stand up and unionize. The rich have walked on us and distributed wealth from our pockets for too long. Time to take our country back like our grandparents did, staring down the barrel of corporate guns. Standardizing the 40 hour work week and livable wages. We need to fight again!
I feel this song with every ounce of my soul. I make less then my bills. Single mom of 3 and taking care of my mom. Just can’t get ahead. All I can do is put my faith in Jesus to get me through it and provide! ❤

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.

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.

I worked in the oilfield for 11 years and wasted my life 110 hours a week to live comfortable. After time and a half we were taxed more for overtime . This song hits the soul sack and I'm glad to hear this song blew up . Hard working people deserve the money to live the rest of their life out without worry of the next bill. I hope our country wakes up one day and kicks these tyrant people out of government. We the people deserve better . God bless brothers and sisters 🍻
Your withholding taxes are based solely on your gross pay and so are your real taxes owed calculated when you file. It is a myth that overtime is taxed at a higher rate than regular hourly. Your employer doesnt even report how much overtime you get to the irs. They dont care how you got it. Hourly, overtime, salary, commissions, bonuses it all gets taxed the same and is only based on the gross taxable income.
And you kept voting for Republicans who cut taxes for the rich and don't give a damn about you. But you'd rather blame your problems on the party that wants the horror of...giving you healthcare.
I'm a 58 year old that's frame custom homes for 40 years. Underpaid. I was 6'2" now my spine is compressed from all the loads Ive carried. This song is damn good! Now I live in a trailer in the cascade mountains playing my guitar as well. Glad you didn't take the money brother. God bless you.
@@danielsweeney3838 It's not "free' you clown, it's paid for by us peasants like me and Oliver here. Adults that still un ironically use the word "free" aren't too swift which is why they subscribe to commy bs so easy. How's that "free" healthcare working out in Canada, or the UK? Nice try w your gotcha statement though, about as swift as any leftist trying to be cute. Can't meme, can't troll, can't think.

I cry when I read all the comments here from people around the world who feel this pain too. These "rich men" laugh and despise us. I pray we get a change of this lying politics and mainstream shit. Oliver, you touched so many hearts. Take care. Your voice and your songs are a treasure.
Ditto my 23 yr old son. Said to me yesterday: I work so hard, all the time and have nothing to show for it no matter how I hustle. I’ll never own a house, how will I support a family? Why am I doing this? Breaks my heart.
Please look into the Socialist Workers Party and the The Militant. A party and a paper willing to write about these working class conditions, and help us workers to achieve better conditions.
This song is meant to bring us together and show us how much we have in common wether it be our struggles or our values. We the People are pissed off, broke, tired and hungry...hungry for food and hungry for change. This world is choking us out and turning us into people that we're not. "Lord it's a damn shame!"

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 🌎.

unfortunately, those systems need to be torn down. It's like trying to paint an outhouse so that it doesn't stink anymore. We need to shitcan the entire thing, all the people, and start locally controlling our own stuff. For instance, in California where I live, every city and county has to abide by ridiculous shit that is legislated at the State level. We have to make more housing in a place with water and housing issues for people who will never be able to afford to live here. It's out of control. It has to stop.

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.

@@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.

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.

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.

Taxation is theft
Your withholding taxes are based solely on your gross pay and so are your real taxes owed calculated when you file. It is a myth that overtime is taxed at a higher rate than regular hourly. Your employer doesnt even report how much overtime you get to the irs. They dont care how you got it. Hourly, overtime, salary, commissions, bonuses it all gets taxed the same and is only based on the gross taxable income.
And you kept voting for Republicans who cut taxes for the rich and don't give a damn about you. But you'd rather blame your problems on the party that wants the horror of...giving you healthcare.
I'm a 58 year old that's frame custom homes for 40 years. Underpaid. I was 6'2" now my spine is compressed from all the loads Ive carried. This song is damn good! Now I live in a trailer in the cascade mountains playing my guitar as well. Glad you didn't take the money brother. God bless you.
Would u have the same issue if u had free healthcare like those men north of richmond wanted
He wouldn't have the trailer due to the extra taxes.
@@danielsweeney3838 It's not "free' you clown, it's paid for by us peasants like me and Oliver here. Adults that still un ironically use the word "free" aren't too swift which is why they subscribe to commy bs so easy. How's that "free" healthcare working out in Canada, or the UK? Nice try w your gotcha statement though, about as swift as any leftist trying to be cute. Can't meme, can't troll, can't think.
This man said his shrunk from carrying “loads”. I’ve done new framing for over 20 years and ain’t nobody shrunk. You lying or soft. Song is badass tho.
@@jasonnorthcarolina190he’s been framing for double the amount of time you have smart ass… you must be that cocky guy you’ll find out someday too!
I’m A Hardworking Journeyman Plumber 10 Years In The Field &’ What I Do Feels unappreciated By People I relate to this song so Much Keep Going Brother.
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.
@@Tennischamp10 You will not enter heaven.
Worked under these mountains of south west Virginia for 45 years and thought I was tough, but man you had tears running down this old mans jaws. Speaking the truth for all of us. Thank You!
Me too!
Thank You!!
Yes
Been mining trona out here Wyoming for 20 years now. Bust my damn ass, but just can't seem to ever get ahead. Tax here tax there, fee for this fee for that. It's a never-ending cycle. Taxes and death are the only guarantee in this life. Life is too short for this bullshit.
God bless you kind sir. Millions of people feeling this way!
As someone who isn't even a "country" fan, I can say that this song brings light to how we're treated as "citizens" of America when the only way you're cared for is if you have money
He literally makes fun of people for not having money in the song (people on welfare.)
@@Trip_Fontaine I believe he's referencing that people who have made themselves overweight or lazy to the point where welfare is their only way of survival shouldn't get a free pass while others are having to earn their way through life
@@ChandlerDaughtryTTDxEpiphany So we should watch them starve? What's the alternative?
@@Trip_Fontaine that's their choice. Work and eat or don't and starve. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
@@kylebrash6400 exactly my thought
Ive never seen such a thankful comments section on any video so positive reaching people all over the world its amazing. We got this, this is proof people will come together when it matters the most🎉🎉🎉
My son gets up before four every morning to work hard all day. He's only 24 and he's experiencing everything that Oliver is singing. I cry when I read all the comments here from people around the world who feel this pain too. These "rich men" laugh and despise us. I pray we get a change of this lying politics and mainstream shit. Oliver, you touched so many hearts. Take care. Your voice and your songs are a treasure.
God bless him !
Ditto my 23 yr old son. Said to me yesterday: I work so hard, all the time and have nothing to show for it no matter how I hustle. I’ll never own a house, how will I support a family? Why am I doing this? Breaks my heart.
We must clean out the swamp in DC
Please look into the Socialist Workers Party and the The Militant. A party and a paper willing to write about these working class conditions, and help us workers to achieve better conditions.
Love this song
This song is meant to bring us together and show us how much we have in common wether it be our struggles or our values. We the People are pissed off, broke, tired and hungry...hungry for food and hungry for change. This world is choking us out and turning us into people that we're not. "Lord it's a damn shame!" Thank you for your heart piercing relatable words.
Wow that says exactly how I feel right there.
Vote Trump
#taxstrike
@@jeffrogers2261 vote for someone who comes from where you come from. Someone who knows first hand the struggles you face when you decide how much you can pay for food and rent and how much you can hold back from the electric bill. Stop acting like pissing of a liberal is gonna make your life better. Peace, neighbor
@@mikewnith9294 He literally shames people for eating chocolate. This shit is for no one.
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?
thank you for standing up for us thank you
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!
I don’t mean to be cynical or mean but simply brutally honest. I really don’t think many or at least enough of the em care anymore.
You are absolutely right!!
And commenting on the video help promote it!! I’m putting a 👍🏻 on every comment!!
The people they THINK they rule.
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.
It hits not only in America but here in Australia as well!
We too are fighting a tyrannical government hell bent on destroying the middle class working folk.
God bless brother!
It hits everywhere. This is the worlds song. There is only one way we defeat this evil system and that is by all of us coming together and destroying them as one.
Praying for Australia
Hits every western nation where the governments bow to the same master and are trying to replace the White people that built them
Not different in Germany. Guess the Working Class is under Attack World wide.
I know you people have it hard and we're headed there unless we speak up!
Born and raised in Southern California, served 24 years in the Navy, this song makes me emotional. The lyrics hit hard and true. 👍👍👍
I stay in Trouble, I read at lot comment here, and I see at lot ex former from army wiht same feelings( I am French vet ) loudly clearly is mean something wrong in ours world..
Thank you for your serve
@@Drako_Strike , merci beaucoup mes amis. Francais libertaire. 👍👍👍
rh5563, you get emotional because you’re an empath. Look it up. I am one too. Take care brother, thank you for your service to this country.
@@0004612 You're not an empath, because you enjoyed seeing kids locked up in cages, you celebrated the murder of Officer Brian Sicknick, and you most likely celebrated today's murder of a 65 year old woman by your fellow redneck because she had a Pride flag outside her store.
Maybe you were human once, before you joined the Trump cult, but you sure ain't one now.
@@0004612 , 👍👍👍
It’s crazy how a song can convey what millions of people are experiencing. It’s also crazy how a song was able to bring us all together in a time when we are all so divided. This song and "Clover Cage - Romeo and Juliet" 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 ❤😊
Canadian military member here......thank you so much for this, you are speaking for more people than you think. And it is fantastic.
Our “rich men” are the Laurentian elites.
yes them and the families that control monopolies here (Pattison, Saputo, Rogers, Irving etc)@@SageApologist
This is a perfect response! WE ARE ALL in this together. Pray daily and act. Spoiler alert, we win.
Sent this song to my Canada vet buddy just now :). Beautiful.
Pain
This could not be more true. I am a small business owner and haven’t taken a paycheck in almost a year. The taxes kill us. So much for the American Dream in the “new world”. Thanks for the amazing song. Much love and support!
Same here. Small business just trying to survive. Nothing left for me
It's a Dream because you have to be asleep to "be-LIE-ve" it!!
Wish More people would Wake Up!!!!
You can't have a United States when it's Divided between Republicans and Democrats.
There's no political solution to a Spiritual problem.
@@vickistearman2818
That's the plan. It's all for Big Corporations and Big Government.
"You'll own nothing and be happy" ......... Their "slogan" says it All.
We the people will prevail! America 🇺🇸 is a set of ideals given to us by God. The marxist globalist can try but will fail in the end.
Taxes so huge companies in bed with awful politicians can create death machines to kill people on the other side of the world. It is insane.
39 years old. Spent 12 1/2 years as a plumber until the small company I worked for went under as the pandemic began. Working for a big chain home store for the last 3 years getting beaten into the ground, treated like a disposable asset, and watching my earnings equal less and less as the prices of basic necessities goes up. Ive fought addiction and won. Ive found love and lost it. This song resonates on a level that I havent felt in a long time. Thank you and god bless. 🙏
Keep pushing homie and come out clean on the other side. You got this
You didn't see this shit coming? How much gold and Bitcoin did you buy in 2016? It wasn't that hard to foresee.
register an LLC and start plumbing again. the are only a few ways to maintain your wealth and working for a big chain is not one of them.
@@romeoneverdiesplumbers don't starve unless they are addicted to something.
@@GrantDWilliams82 wth? A brave man pours out his soul & it's people like you who knock them down...where's the love & compassion? May God bless you & take away your anger & bitterness
Talk about my hair rising on my neck!!! This man's heart and soul is his voice... gives a new meaning to the word "unique".
The anthem of a generation of working class young men; myself included. Praying that fame doesn’t destroy you.
The anthem of being a victim keep singing along, its the people who keep voting for the Rich men lol they have you by the balls
not just for the young men, us old men are affected just as much
@@briank1131probably more so: you knew it wasn't this bad. Old WW2 Vets telling us they were disappointed with the state of the country before they died...

I’m a center pivot irrigation service tech. 112 hours a day working in corn ten feet tall and 100 + degree heat in Kansas. Struggling constantly with 3 kids. This song really hit home. Amen brother!!!
My dad farms in Kansas. Thanks for all you do. Without people like you, it would’ve been much harder for my dad to put food on the table for us. I know it’s hot out there but I’m truly grateful for all the people like you.
That's a lot of hours in a day😮🎉😂
Thank you for your hard work.
