1. War Pigs--Black Sabbath
2. Two Minutes To Midnight--Iron Maiden
3. Holy Wars...The Punishment Due--Megadeth

These three songs touch on the horror and devastation of war, as well as the manipulation of people into slaves of combat. I hope these don't seem critical of our current war against terrorism, but we should be reminded that al-Qaeda started the war with lobbing planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and almost at Washington D.C.

I would like to hear the one song by Toby Kaith, it seems like he's been considered too politically incorrect for voicing his anger in that one song. BUT WHAT'S THIS ABOUT ALAN JACKSON??? Now you got ME curious...

I'm gonna get some lyrics of the above three songs later.

Toby's song ROCKS!!! I have his new CD that has the song on it, now I can listen to it whenever. I'll try to get the lyrics and post them tonight sometime. I think it's a great song and it really sums up how I feel some of the time.

Here's the Lyrics for ya Dannie

Courtesy of the Red White and Blue - Album "Unleashed" by Toby Keith

American Girls and American Guys
We’ll always stand up and salute
We’ll 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
Until 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
Has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin’ in
From somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the 4th of July

Hey Uncle Sam
Put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty
Started shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

Justice will be served
And the battle will rage
This big dog will fight
When you rattle his cage
And 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 shakin’ her fist
And the eagle will fly
Man, it’s gonna be hell
When you hear Mother Freedom
Start ringin’ her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you Courtesy of the Red White and Blue

I can't believe its been over a year since September 11th. It seems like it was just yesterday! I can remember where I was when it happened I can remember what my homeroom teacher said when he told us and I can even remember what I was wearing that day. Have I gone crazy or do some of you remember that too? I was soo worried when I found out about the Pentogon attack because my dad travels and he was supposed to be in D.C then. So I spent all day with that in mind. But lucky for me when I got home from school that day he called and was in LA I was so realived when he called.
Proud To Be An American
