Pop-singer Sheryl Crow has always been outspoken about her own political views, but now she's telling former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin to zip it. "I saw you ranting on TV today, I heard you tell me to reload. You got a lot of nerve to talk that way, someone unplug the microphone," sings Crow in her new anthem, "Say What You Want," which was released in late July.
The angsty, politically-charged song makes plenty of references to "kool-aid drinking," "talking heads" and, of course, "ignorance."
"I'm tired of all the fighting, cynicism and back biting. Can't even hear myself think, you pour the kool-aid and then we drink," sings Crow of Palin.
The Grammy Award-winning songstress makes it clear what she thinks of conservative views, crooning sarcastically that "Ignorance is patriotic, reasons are so idiotic."
Crow also made an emotional appeal to the young and impressionable, urging them to steer clear of the "hatred" that has apparently been manufactured by "talking heads" and their "hate campaigns."
"All you little ones with open hearts, don't let hatred tear your world apart. And if you wonder who is wrong and who is right, better go ask God to shine some light," she sings.
Crow defended the song in an interview with The Sunday Times, saying that "[T]he morning that Sarah Palin came out and said 'reload', there was no way I wasn't going to write about that."

I missed you expressing those sentiments during the Bush Presidency.
Free speech for me, not for thee.
This coming from a gal who sings “my friend the Communist holds meetings in his RV”...
Someone unplug Sheryl’s mic, please.
At least, Gov. Palin’s microphone is clean.
It's a song about tolerance, I guess.
or don't, whatever.
Hey, lookie here ... you and Sheryl “One Sheet” Crow is on da same page ... ain’t that neat?!
I would rather smell Sheryl Crow’s index finger than listen to her derivative, banal music.
me thinks Sheryl Crow should use more that two pieces of tissue.
“One Square Cheryl” strikes again. No wonder Lance Armstrong kicked her to the curb.
Funny, I thought we were on opposite pages. One Sheet wants to cut her off and I want her to keep babbling.
She went from requiring the little people to use “one square” of TP, to recently touting “recycled TP”. She’s a certified whackjob.
Recently while channel surfing, I saw that QVC was going to have Sheryl The Crow on live to promote some crappy CD she made.
The way the QVC hosts gushed at the mere mention of her name was sickening.
Needless to say, I clicked away as fast as if I’d seen Imam Obama’s mug on the tele.
Shut the hell up and sing, Sheryl... On second thought, just shut the hell up.
Still another moronic Liberal entertainer.
Puhleeze, Cheryl, go shake hands with your multitude of crazies and spread your germs and lies.
Move on. She is an idiot.
Shut the frak up, Sheryl Crow.....your time has come and gone, idiot.
These fascists make me sick.
YAWN.
Have another Tunial, or 26 of 'em ... Sheryl, and calm down a bit. Maybe even peuk your bile into only one sheet of Charmin .....
