Iraq And Roll
------Clint Black

"I RAQ AND ROLL"

Words and Music by Clint Black and Hayden Nicholas

YOU CAN WAVE YOUR SIGNS IN PROTEST
AGAINST AMERICA TAKING STANDS
THE STANDS AMERICA'S TAKEN
ARE THE REASON THAT YOU CAN

IF EVERYONE WOULD GO FOR PEACE
THERE'D BE NO NEED FOR WAR
BUT WE CAN'T IGNORE THE DEVIL
HE'LL KEEP COMING BACK FOR MORE

SOME SEE THIS IN BLACK AND WHITE
OTHERS ONLY GRAY
WE'RE NOT BEGGING FOR A FIGHT
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY

WE HAVE THE RESOLUTION
THAT SHOULD PUT'EM ALL TO SHAME
BUT IT'S A DIFFERENT KIND OF DEADLINE
WHEN I'M CALLED IN THE GAME

CHORUS
I RAQ, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'M BACK AND I'M A HIGH TECH GI JOE
I PRAY FOR PEACE, PREPARE FOR WAR
AND I NEVER WILL FORGET
THERE'S NO PRICE TOO HIGH FOR FREEDOM
SO BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU TREAD

THIS TERROR ISN'T MAN TO MAN
THEY CAN BE NO MORE THAN COWARDS
IF THEY WON'T SHOW US THEIR WEAPONS
WE MIGHT HAVE TO SHOW THEM OURS

IT MIGHT BE A SMART BOMB
THEY FIND STUPID PEOPLE TOO
AND IF YOU STAND WITH THE LIKES OF SADDAM
ONE JUST MIIGHT FIND YOU

CHORUS II
I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'M BACK AND I'M A HIGH TECH GI JOE
I'VE GOT INFRARED, I'VE GOT GPS AND I'VE GOT THAT GOOD OLD FASHIONED LEAD
THERE'S NO PRICE TOO HIGH FOR FREEDOM
SO BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU TREAD

BRIDGE
NOW YOU CAN COME ALONG
OR YOU CAN STAY BEHIND
OR YOU CAN GET OUT OF THE WAY
BUT OUR TROOPS TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE
FOR THE GOOD OLD U.S.A.


I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
IN THE USA
I ROCK, I RACK'EM UP AND I ROLL
I'M TALKIN' ABOUT THE USA

I just heard this song that Clint Black did.


Is it just me or does any one else just lose respect for anyone making money of other peoples death not to mention a horrible mistake.

Just fucking Sad.

If ignorance is bliss 'ol Clint's gotta be one happy idiot. Nothing like celebrating a mistake!!!
"YeeeHaaaa" is not a sound foreign policy!

[Darius11 12]

Dude this has inspired me to search for more songs and dude there is so many out there.


One of the lyrics says

We hate terrorist wanna killem all
We want to skin them alive and go back to Arkansas.

LOLOLOL


Dude I am beginning to understand why Bush won the election in the 1st place.

No dude the ignorant fucks without an education are the ones destroying this country.

Yep, It's just you and the other guy.

Clint Black and the Dixie Chicks on tour together, now that would be #$@%! SAD.

Yeah, that's much worse than doing things like, pulling school girls off of their school buses and shooting them dead in the name of Allah. Or shooting tennis players because they're wearing shorts. Heck, those kind of things are nothing at all in comparison to someone writing a song!

Get real. Clint Black has been involved in raising money to educate the children and help support the families of soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. How dare you criticize him. What have you done but bitch and whine?

[wmw999 2,587]

Fine. Does that make it OK to celebrate the mayhem? Doing something really, really right doesn't make everything he does OK, does it?

Ever ask those who say "I support the Troops but not the War" what they have ever done to support the troops?

All I've ever gotten for a response is either a blank stare while they tried to think up some murkey, mumbley, non-specific Bullshit.

Will sending care packages for a platoon of the 82nd. satisfy you?

The war was wrong to begin with, was and is poorly managed, and will continue to be under this pathetic excuse for an administration. As a result our boys have been put in an untenable situation for which they have not been trained.

And as for money whores making $$$ from human suffering, none can compare with the defense contractors, Halliburton, and the rest of the gang.

I do understand it is used an excuse by some to get off of death row. But that's completely unrelated.

Songs like his have always been around. Ever hear songs like "Over There" from WW2 or many of the other songs from that era?

If you don't like the song, then don't buy it. I've heard my share of stupid anti-war songs too, but I've yet to hear one anti-war musician who "Supports the Troops but not their Mission" do a single concert to help out the families of dead or injured soldiers.

Pathetic, really.

[wmw999 2,587]

Maybe they help out other causes that are important to them. Clint Black is helping out the families of soldiers -- that's one of his causes. Does he help with volunteer work in Iraq? That would be more akin to what you're suggesting.

During WW2 we also interned Nisei and anyone else who looked Japanese, and newspapers talked about japs and nips.

In your case, yes it will. I'm going to amend what I said and say that "most of the time" when I've asked the question, that's the response I've gotten.

What is your sons opinion of the war? If you don't want to answer this question, I will understand.

Then there are those who profess support for the war and the troops, but desparately want that tax cut so they don't get to pay the actual cost for the war and the troops. Pathetic, really.

And maybe they are just talking bullshit. What causes are they "helping out" with that support the troops as they claim they do?

I know he's been to Iraq at least once at his own expense and played free concerts for our troops. That's a heck of a lot more than many who criticize him have ever done, I'm pretty sure.

and that has exactly what to do with what we are discussing?

Simple. A good sample of right wing attitudes towards both taxes and the war can be found in the DZ.COM archives. There's a search button you can use at the top of the page.

John what do the two have to do with each other? Do you think I am responsible for the murders because I am tan? I hope your not THAT lost.

Or have you seen me say wow great a bunch of people got killed?

I am just trying to figure out what the heck my post has to do with the things you wroth. Are they linked in any way and if they are please explain.

How dare I criticize him? Are you for real? You seem very angry that I made fun of his song. I wonder what you would do if someone criticized some thing you really care about.


As for doing things for other people I don’t believe in advertising. Where I come for the whole point of doing something is to do it with out wanting recognition. You do it for only one reason to help another person out. Next time I do something should I announce it to the world, or should I bring a camera crew?


I find you both extremely funny. The songs are just stupid and designed to play on the simplest of minds.
If your reaction is anger then attack I see you no different then the Islamic extremist who riot because of a stupid cartoon. Actually there much better then you at least they are willing to die for there belief to are you willing to die for your boy Clint Black?

I tell them to do their own homework too.

The rightist attitude on both the war and on taxes is very well known. Rather better documented than YOUR claim that anti-war folks can't be pro-troops.

I see you have no comment on my support for the troops combined with my distaste for the mission. I suppose you want receipts from the Post Office.

Yeeeeeeeeee-Haaaaaaaa

Jumping all over the place on that reply.

[billvon 3,112]

A few alternatives:

----------------

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

---------------

So God how come every wrong's been done
in deals no Christ should allow
Once the communist now the terroist
With blood as thick as yours
Now a caravan of clouds
Warns us all of winter showers
Then rattle comes the rain
and each bullet screams your name

So how come this gatherin' storm
Pours so little on the truth?
Where the smokin' gun's a familiar
song let loose
With the bombed out cars
Come the falling stars
From a heaven we'll never know
And the nameless names
On the misspelled graves grow tall
We're still screamin' at the Wailing Wall

I'll liberate your peoples' fate
Spoke the Burnin' Bush
But the song of beasts
Grow with oil soaked teeth
Their dollar is mighty and true
Now the eagle soars the sky
Over refugee and child
And to all there is no end
Another day in perfect Hell

---------------------------------

Looking for a leader
to bring our country home
Reunite the red white and blue
before it turns to stone

Looking for somebody
Strong enough to take it on
Clean up the corruption
and make the country strong

Walking among our people
there's someone who's straight and strong
to lead us from desolation
and a broken world gone wrong

That someone walks among us
and I hope he hears the call . . .

---------------------------------

Must we take a life that hateful eyes
might glisten once again?
What savior rests while on his cross we die
Has the Sheperd led his lambs astray
to the bigot and the gun . . .

I sit in and dwell on faces past
memories seem to fade
No color left but black and white
And soon will all turn grey
But may these shadows rise to walk again
With lessons truly learned
When the blossom flowers in each our hearts
and beats a new found flame

Must we take a life that hateful eyes
might glisten once again?
And then we find ourselves in the same old mess
Singin' drunken lullabies

----------------------------

Which I amended to most, not all.

Nope, and I did comment on yout support. I know it's your son over there and I wish him the best and a safe return.
