Oliver Anthony: Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Oliver Anthony, some backwoods singer now making the charts about his view of America in decline. You see, every time a Republican administration wants to get back into power, they tell the voters that America is in decline and let’s make America great again. Hell, Ronald Reagan used that dumb quote before Trump did.

But back to Anthony and these stupid lyrics. I get that he is trying to make it all about country this and country folk that, but it’s total horseshit. The lyrics clearly written by a dumb hillbilly turd or some Republican focus group of hillbilly turds, who thought that this song would resonate with the other hill folk who would believe that America is in decline and identify with this song and vote Trump and the good times back in. The good times however were pre-pandemic, when the economy was roaring along because Obama had everything pretty much balanced and on track when Trump took it over and bled the country dry of money. That is what democrats bring to the table, so when Republicans get in they can wreck the place and spend like drunken sailors every nickel they can find. Then democrats have to come back in and clean up the mess.

America at present isn’t in any shape or form in decline. But these hillbillies are paid big bucks to sing you to sleep after the loving and hope that you will relate to their sad tale of woe. You see, that is what country music is all about. It’s about poverty (the musicians singing it don’t live in poverty or know anything about it, because they’re fucking millionaires) losing their woman because she cheated, not him, but her, she’s the bad girl, and she cheated on him. He was all faithful and all going to work every day, sweating like a hog, coming home pissed off at some co-worker or even his boss, laying into her every day about his sad tale of woe at work.

Then he’d get drunk off his ass and start a fight with her, then beat the shit out of her and then apologize the next morning and wash rinse and repeat. Yeah, her cheating of course was after years of beatings and malfeasance on his part. The other bits about country music are hard drinking, and hard fighting. You see, you ain’t a country ass boy unless you are a hard drinking, hard livin, wife abusing, wife beater shirt wearing son of a two-bit saloon girl. And that’s about what country music represents. It’s a white power, Charlie Daniels devil going down to Georgia, hard drinking, feet stomping, cheatin piece of shit living because youse drunk every night and forgot your marriage vows. That’s real country music. And that’s what it represents.

Oh, and yeah, youse always lost your job because youse drunk every fucking day of your life, got addicted to drugs, and then failed to show up for work. So, that covers everything country music is about. Oh, and trying to redeem yourself with the lord for all your sins against whomever you sinned against. Oh, and one more thing. Youse always against the guvmint. They spyin on you, they caused all your problems. The IRS confiscated your house, clothes, work car etc, because youse owe em 250k in back taxes. And of course, it’s their fault you never filed. It’s their fault you spent the money that was owed to them to pay for the functioning guvmint that you now rail against on beer booze, fast women and a shit pile full of cocaine. BUT you go to the guvmint for food stamps to eat when you have no food, and a crazy check when you want to file for disability and get your 676.00 check for services rendered when you worked at Taco Bell.

Now the guvmint is there for you when you need them. You get into a jam, say, a flood hits you and wipes you out, FEMA puts you up in a free trailer or housing situation. They also pay you for your injury, and even help you rebuild the life you lost. But no, in good times the guvmint is the enemy, and in hard times the guvmint is your friend, your very secret friend. But as soon as the times are good, and your fucking homeless living out of your truck because the skills you have aren’t enough to keep you going, and because you refuse to switch careers or get retrained on something that will get you there, you write some horse shit song about how the guvmint fucked ya over, and is fucking all the people over, and guess what, other hillbilly folk who live just like you do relate to it, and suddenly Trump gets more votes because you stupid fucks think that he cares about you and when he was around life was better.

I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

See, he’s claiming he’s getting paid, but he claims the pay that keeps him and his brood alive, eating and having a roof over the head just ain’t good enough. So, what does he do when he comes home? He drinks his troubles away. Here’s the thing, the fucking money is enough, and what he’s doing is buying a shit box full of hooch every day and drinking until he’s stoned out of his mind. Got enough for whisky bottles and beer, you got enough to feed the family and pay the fucking bills.

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

So, he’s trying to hook the fish here. You, you’re the fish. It’s damn shame he says what’s happening to people like me and YOU!!!! Then he qualifies it as TRUTH.

Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

Oh, the post pandemic new world order they rail against. The New World Order, it’s all a dark conspiracy to take Oliver Anthony’s millions away from him by giving it all to the tax man. And the dollar ain’t shit, which is the funniest thing, because right now, the BRICS countries are trying to destroy the dollar as it’s the best currency available in the entire world right now. So, what the fuck is he even saying here? The dollar ain’t shit and it’s taxed to no end? See, this guy wants others who are, let’s say, wanting to get rid of the IRS for themselves, people like, the elites, Trump et al. But they want to keep the IRS functional for you and me, and grandma joe.

And this stupid fuck is referring to the very media, THE VERY MEDIA he is selling his bullshit music on, which is social media. So, when they want to know more about you, know what you do and what you think, this fucking guy is doing the same thing he is railing against in his song to you, the listener. He’s running analytics like most do, then getting a bullshit tune written to match what the analytics tell him will resonate with the hillbillies he’s singing to, and then pumping it out and waiting for the checks to roll in. That’s how music is done today. But hey country boy, don’t let my truth about analytics mess up your bullshit game.

I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat
And the obese milkin’ welfare
Well, God, if you’re five-foot-three and you’re three-hundred pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of Fudge Rounds
Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground
‘Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin’ them down

Why on earth would a politician look out for a miner? They are a lost breed, and losing more and more every month due to what? CLEAN ENERGY, Lithium-Ion Batteries (Made and Sourced in China) and we don’t need coal miners anymore. But hey, you idiots bought Trump’s line about how he and he alone could fix your problem. And if you vote for him, your life as a miner will be set. When he got in, he dumped you guys overboard. That’s Trump for ya. As for your Epstein statement, hey, Republicans are the worst offenders when it comes to that type of living.

As for the homeless. We’ve always had folks in the street with nothing to eat. And your Republican friends and politicians built big giant prisons to house the very people who lived on that street and had nothing to eat until they stole food and got busted for it and were sent away for life. As for the obese milking welfare, that’s a common Sean Hannity tactic you piece of living shit. People have diseases when they are obese. And now, as a typical Republican, you want to fat shame them for it. You ain’t so thin yourself ya fucking toothless hillbilly.

Young men are putting themselves in the ground because people are kicking them down? How about you and your ilk writing songs that make them want to kill themselves? It’s your fucking fault in my opinion. You’re the one, you and your disgusting ilk of hillbillies that refuse to admit that the economy is great, and everything is working out, and shit is going strong under democratic leadership. That’s all its about, your song sucks balls, and it’s all set up to make people cry in their whisky and beer, and cry over their barstools while beating the shit out of their wives and cryin about that too. Hell, why don’t you do us all a favor and plant yourselves firmly in the ground, so we don’t have to ever hear about your miserable sad fucked up lives again.
