The Oliver Anthony song changing America. Video plays the song showing reactions from non-political folks and dems. Many teared up listening to this. Because this song speaks to most Americans regardless of political affiliations, the media is strongly advising no one watch it.
Hearing this song is much more powerful than reading about it. You will be moved.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1] 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
[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
[Chorus] 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
[Verse 2] 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
[Verse 3] Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 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
[Pre-Chorus] Lord, 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
[Chorus] 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
[Outro] I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day Overtime hours for bullshit pay

This song is powerful and will touch your soul. Please listen to it at least once and share it. Oliver was offered 8 million for the song and refused it.
I spent hours watching clips of non-political people and dems watching this video including those in this video. Everyone of them were visibly shaken/moved by this song.
My hope: this unites us with those that were told conservatives are the problem. Those that watched this agreed that is was TRUTH and praised Oliver for saying it. The original video has 23 million views, add to that every other variation of it. The media is freaked out and demanding that folks not watch it. Google it and see. They are panicked.
Thanks for posting. I know the left acts outraged about the welfare lyrics but it’s true. There’s a show called My 600 Lb life, about people needing gastric surgery. They for the most part are on disability and welfare, and when they grocery shop, their carts are filled with Oreos and potato chips and ice cream, so I know what those lyrics mean. Many people can identify with Oliver. God Bless him!
Who doesn’t love a good protest song? Even one that smacks you in the face. The sentiment is on the mark. It’s a ‘listen to once’ song. Not playlist material. IMHO.
That was a very emotional watch.
the left stopped representing the lower middle class and middle class long ago.
the left represents the very rich and the very poor.
Hopefully, Romney can go back and hide in his mansion with an elevator for his cars.
Hopefully, Biden can go back to his mansion with a classic Corvette and top-secret documents, and cash earned on the backs of dead Ukrainian men.
Maybe for you...
Sounds like you’re a Taylor Swift kind of guy.
They despise the middle class.
I guess it’s too wimpy for my taste. Can you imagine Ted Nugent writing these lyrics?
It has almost the same message as “Sixteen Tons.”
Ted Nugent is a hard sell to most anyone under 50, and probably a hard sell to a lot of people over 50 as well.
This Oliver guy has the number one single on all the streaming services.
The takeaway from this (and The Sound of Freedom) is that there is a huge silent majority out there who have been convinced by the globalists and media that they're the minority.
They're not, by a long shot.
Hopefully, middle-class folks of both parties will join together to elect a champion to defeat the Monarchy.
Listen to once? Are you kidding? Maybe once a day, a song that hits home is worth listening to over and over.
Something smacks of “fed” about him.
I pulled it up on YouTube and watched some of the “reaction” videos—all with black hosts. They all reacted positively.
Funny, a couple of them started off saying they heard it was a “ultra right anthem” but after the first stanza their jaws dropped.
Good for this guy. He hit the right sound and words. I hope he gets every accolade and credit he deserves.
Some of those rich men claimed to be conservatives.
What have they conserved?
You nailed it!
Their own wealth!
