Rich Men North of Richmond - 3 min video

[Moe-Patrick]

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.

I read this and thought, it’s more BS. Granted, the left is the cause for the majority of what is going wrong. But the vothers have to take responsibility also. When “Republicans” such as Mitt Romney, Linda Graham, John McCain (I know he’s dead), and more that continually side with the liberals (swamp) are voted in, the citizens from those states can go pound sand for all I care.

[Moe-Patrick]

You mentioned some of the bad Republicans we have. I would argue most of them are:

That haven’t expunged Trump impeachments
They don’t want a wall, immigration reform or budget
They send money for wars
They haven’t done anything about the crimes committed the last 7 yrs
MAGA means nothing to them
They are fine with losing
They did nothing about Obamacare
They did nothing about COVID mandates, lockdowns
They do NOTHING except make sure the dems get their way for decades
…..and the list goes on.

So I would say ‘Yes, the DC complex hates America’

[AppyPappy]

30 years ago, this would be an anthem of the Left

[sauropod]

Nothing fed about him. I read an article recently about him and where he came from.

Forgotten America.

[GSWarrior]

FWIW I have really come around on this song. I like it and Anthony’s story is so inspirational.
