Country music superstar Toby Keith has released a July 4 single, lamenting the state of U.S.
Keith, 59, premiered 'Happy Birthday America (whatever's left of it) on Fox News on Friday morning.
The Oklahoma-born singer, known for his patriotic, upbeat songs, strikes a markedly different tone as he mourns 'all the broken-down cities, by the left's design' and asks why the nation is so miserable.
'Seems like everybody's pissin' on the red, white and blue,' he sings.

For many years now, I have said, “Happy Dependence Day”. Most people don’t notice what I said, thinking I just muttered the “in” part. Nope. We are dependent and racing back toward bondage in that 200-year or so collapse of all great Democracies. We are right on time.
Never again will I say “Happy Independence Day”. It is no longer true and has not been for ages. Maybe since 1913, but certainly not since Obamacare was passed under the Muslim-in-Chief.
That song is agonizingly difficult to get through once. Because it is true. I don’t think I would want to hear it a 2nd time.
It is brutally honest.
Yup. Absolutely no way I am listening to that again. WAY too depressing. Yet not a word is false.
Soon to be our new National Anthem.
I should have put up a warning..This song is pretty depressing.
Ouch... that stings.
If I remember correctly, Toby Keith came out with the news of being a leftie a few years ago. Am I mistaken?
The full lyrics to ‘Happy Birthday America (whatever’s left of you)’
Happy birthday America
It’s the Fourth of July
I get to wake up in your freedom
But sometimes I wonder why
Seems like everybody’s pissin’
On the red, white and blue
Happy birthday America
Whatever’s left of you
You were the darlin’ when you saved the world
WW I and II
France would just be part of Germany now
If it hadn’t been for you
Now your children wanna turn you in
To something other than yourself
They burn your flag in their city streets
More than anybody else
Who they gonna count on
When you’re not there to take their call?
Will the world keep right on spinnin’
Without the greatest of them all?
Without the helping hand of God
Your days are numbered, my old friend
We’re sure gonna miss you, girl
You were the best that’s ever been
All the broken-down cities
By the left’s design
And the right can’t seem to get it right
Most of the time
Every time I go to town and vote
I just come home with the blues
The lesser of two evils
All we ever get to choose
You are right, he is a big lefty. I threw away all my CDs I had of him! He probably sees a money maker in that song!
You are correct IIRC. But with a brain.
No warning was needed. I wan’t expecting “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”. The title says it all. It is depressing because I feel so helpless. The enemies are in control of every US institution exampt talk radio. We used to have the internet too, but Facebook, Twitter, and Google took that away form us and crushed us under their thumbs.
The Country Club GOP establishment is useles and is aggresively hostile to conservatism and basic American values.
There is nothing left but armed revolt, and the people willing to do so are miniscule, so they get killed or jailed in small police actions. I am not willing to do what the founders did and demand freedom at gunpoint. Almost none of us are so willing.
And if we were, all they have to do is turn off all the cell towers, internet access, and TV broadcasts, and we would have no way to communicate with each other or to know what is happening in the world beyond, outside of a 5 mile radius.
All our bank accounts would be frozen and we would cave in or starve. Sure we could steal food, but that would be over in a week with no future food distribution allowed by the government.
Only the preppers could carry on, but that is a scintilla of people, to the point they are not worth mentioning as a body of resistance.
The future seems hopeless.
All things are possible with God, so the future always offers hope, but we have rejected God now to the point that I no longer expect his Divine Providence. Why should he save the 20% of us when 80% of us no longer deserve his Divine Blessings?
All that is reflected in that song. Yeah, it is depressing. Not the song, but the future.
I will get a bunch of replies saying “quitter. Coward. I’M FIGHTING TO THE DEATH”. Sure, how? With what? The enemy just STOLE A NATIONAL ELECTION right out from under the winning electoral vote getter, and there was barely a squeak heard from the nation. We screamed, but we are few. The entire episode was completely swept under the rug, as if it never happened.
I am still furious. It is still surreal to think they got away with it. If nothing else, I expects some courts somewhere to allow immediate detailed auditing of at least the most obvious and egregious election irregularities.
Not a sound from the courts. Not even the 5 conservatives on SCOTUS allowed anything to be begun before Biden was sworn in. “Texas has no standing”.
You bet it is depressing to be subjected to the rapid and wholesale destruction of America that is currently going on, absolutely helpless to even slow it down.
It is not the song that is depressing. It is the reality.
Happy Dependence Day!
We still served for The Greatest Country in the world. It was bed when we came after our war and most of us thought the world had gone to H***. We had Jimmy Carter and the gas lines that went with it. We all watched in horror as the terrorists attacked us but God is on our side on this. We just need to pray we get our country back and God in his time will answer our prayers.
So why is he so concerned about, “...everybody’s pissin’ On the red, white and blue”?
Too stupid to know that his lefty voting habits are the cause?
My guess is $$$$$
Isn’t he the guy who doesn’t want citizens carrying in his restaurants?
So I guess he votes for the Dem because he’s the “lesser of two evils” What a dishonest phony! Republicans have not caused the things that he sings about in the beginning of the song.
Also I should have posted Wilkow just debuted it on his show.
Keith seems like a country boy, but didn’t he suppose Obama or Clinton?
Yep he’s a Democrat!
Fake country!
