The dipshit should have stuck with “Cherry Bomb” and called it a day.

John Mellencamp Lyrics
“Hey God”

Weapons and guns, are they really my rights
Laws written a long time ago
No one could imagine the sight
Of so many dead on the floor

Hey God, if you’re still there
Would you please come down
Hey God, if you’re still there
Would you please come down

So what do you really have in mind for us now
We know that you’re not on our side
A few words of wisdom written down
Ain’t enough to sustain us anymore

Hey God, if you’re still there
Would you please come down
Hey God, if you’re still there
Would you please come down
We can’t take it no more

Some cannot live inside the law
Not much has changed here at all
I see the sun’s really going down
This is not the Garden of Eden for sure

Hey God, if you’re still there
Would you please come down
Hey God, if you’re still there
Would you please come down, we can’t take it here anymore
We can’t take it no more

If you order right now you will get the hidden track titled, “F U Trump” which is expected to make the top 10 list.

“Hey Beavis, it’s that wuss”

“Who?”

“Uh, you know, that John Couger Military Camp guy”

“Oh yeah, he’s a wuss! A wuss! Heheheheh”

Or, as he’s been referred to before, John Cougar-Melonhead.

Pop stars have always been sooooooo smart and clever.

We lost David Crosby but others can take his place to blame guns and gun rights rather than the thugs who shoot people and won’t take responsibility for it.

Musician David Crosby Arrested on Gun Charge
Los Angeles Times
Oct 25, 1985 —....a 45-caliber pistol and suspected drug accessories in the 1985 Ford Thunderbird Crosby was driving.

Fools at Michigan State University had vigils against guns after a 47 year old black man not in any way affiliated with MSU shot and killed 3 and wounded 5 others in Mach, 2023. The newly Dem controlled Michigan House and Senate rushed hysterical anti gun rights bills for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to sign for photo-ops. A disgrace. The solution is to curb the violence of the element holding those guns——as the 47 year old who came to town to kill people.

It is interesting how many shootings are done by the left. Obviously the recent ones, plus the majority of black on black shootings, which are the majority of all shootings. I wonder if anyone has done a study on that. And it seems a lot of leftist anti-gunners own guns. Even more if you include their armed security. Hypocrites on many levels.

To answer his question….yes. They are a right enshrined in the Constitution.

RE: lyric....

Like, man, that’s , uh I mean it’s like heavy, dude.
Deep.
Like at the bottom of a deep pile of crap.


People talked like that the last time Mellencamp was relevant or popular.

Here’s the song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzz48XjPb3s

It’s pretty forgettable, about what you’d expect from a rocker who doesn’t have the spark anymore. The video is packed with standard tropes about church and religion. Also some references to racism, poverty, and police brutality thrown in. I guess he’s a completist.

A left-winger commits an atrocity against Christians so naturally the left’s hive mind perks up and starts creating art that antagonizes Christians.

“’Weapons and guns, are they really my rights? / Laws written a long time ago / No one could imagine the sight of so many dead on the floor,’ he laments,”

This person (like most other rich entertainers of his ilk) is obviously ignoring the idea that it would take U.S. (and Canadian) criminals, along with the few Adam Lanzas and Eric Harrises and Dylan Klebolds included, hundreds of centuries to equal the number of people murdered by governments who ordered their citizenry legally disarmed (Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao).

All well and good, but gun violence is committed by the ones who have disregard for the law and other peoples rights. People who use guns to defend themselves are not committing gun violence.
