In this blog I want to talk about a song that recently came out by Kid Rock. Now, Kid Rock isn't my favorite artist in the entire world so I wasn't overly excited about listening to this song when my mom sent me the link... But I listened. And then I read the lyrics, the lyrics of this song say exactly what I have been trying to say for years.

In part of this song Kid rock sings "And how can we seek salvation when our nations race relations, Got me feeling guilty of being white? But faith in human nature, our creator and our savior, I'm no saint, But I believe in what is right."
This particular verse is my favorite.
For the last couple of years in school I have been studying American history and I got kind of irritated with the government and the lies and how most public schooled kids are not hearing the truth about their forefathers and what they did for us.
Of course no matter how long I rant about the government and no matter how many people hear what I say, only about 12% of the US will even come close to understanding it. And no one can even really prove that anything that anybody says or does is even remotely true. So I will stop with my ranting.
I have been writing this blog for school... I have passed my time limit because I haven't been able to find the right words and I am still not quite sure that these ramblings will make any sense, anyway I have been writing this blog for roughly 7 days... probably the longest time I have ever taken on any assignment that is this simple. I suppose it is a touchy subject for me and if I don't say the words just right it won't settle well with me.

I believe that each and every United States citizen has the right to know what is going on with our government, my school curriculum teaches the little know truth of our society. I posted the lyrics to the song below... I hope they speak to you as much as they speak to me.

It's another night in hell
Another child won't live to tell
Can you imagine what it's like to starve to death

And as we sit free and well
Another soldier has to yell
Tell my wife and children I love them in his last breath

C'mon now amen, amen, amen

Habitual offenders, scumbag lawyers with agendas
I'll tell you sometimes people I don't know what's worse
Natural disasters or these wolves in sheep clothes pastors
Now God damn it I'm scared to send my children to church
And how can we seek salvation when our nations race relations
Got me feeling guilty of being white
But faith in human nature, our creator and our savior, I'm no saint
But I believe in what is right

C'mon now amen, amen
I said amen, amen
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kid_rock/amen.html ]
Stop pointing fingers and take some blame,
Pull your future away from the flame
Open up your mind and start to live
Stop short changing your neighbors
Living off hand outs and favors, and maybe
Give a little bit more than you got to give

Simplify, testify, identify, rectify
And if I get high stop being so uptight
It's only human nature and I am not a stranger
So baby won't you stay with me tonight

When a calls away
to break the sound
I'm faden down, I need someone
Oh to be someone
They just sinken down, and holden back
I hold the dawn and run
They don't save a child
Oh, to save a child

It's a matter of salvation from them patience up above,
So don't give up so damn easy on the one you love, one you love
Somewhere you got a brother, sister, friend, grandmother, niece or nephew
Just dying to be with you
You know there's someone out there who unconditionally, religiously, loves you
So just hold on 'cause you know it's true
And if you can take the pain
And you can withstand anything, and one day
Stand hand in hand with the truth

I said amen, I said amen
I said amen, I said amen,

Amen
