This is for all of the true patriots™ out there. Do certain song lyrics bother you? Like this, for example-
See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain
from the firefly, a red orange glow
See the face of fear running scared in the valley below
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue
In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum
Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome
Plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire
See them burning crosses, see the flames, higher and higher
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue sky
Bullet the blue
Bullet the blue
This guy comes up to me
His face red like a rose on a thorn bush
Like all the colors of a royal flush
And hes peeling off those dollar bills
Slapping them down
One hundred, two hundred
And I can see those fighter planes
And I can see those fighter planes
Across the mud huts where the children sleep
Through the alleys of a quiet city street
Take the staircase to the first floor
Turn the key and slowly unlock the door
As a man breathes into a saxophone
Through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside its america
Outside its america
Across the field you see the sky ripped open
See the rain come through the gaping wound
Pounding on the women and children who run into the arms of america

It doesn't bother me. I really like this song. I was just a little girl when this song released...
As for the artist, you can google to find out. I'm simply wondering if those who are militantly pro-America find these specific lyrics a problem.

Oh ok got it now ...I think my brain is being a little too literal from all the reading of the bills lately LOL. It is a great song.

- You are missing some lyrics which would probably help people decide if they were offended or not. (I don't have them, only noticed when I heard the song sung by said artist on YouTube).
- I fail to see the connection between the politics of the song and "militant pro-America patriots."
There needs to be a distinction made between pro-liberty patriots and pro-American patriots, because even our founding fathers were not "pro-American." They were not national loyalists, they were loyalists to liberty first (some God first), followed by a loyalty to the Constitution. They didn't care what country they belonged to as long as they were free. Now if you are not speaking to those of us who are pro-liberty and loyal to the Constitution, but rather to those nationalists and loyal first to America (and it's government), then I can see where your question has merit (although your question would then be directed also to those liberals who are loyal to Obama). But if you are speaking to those of us are pro-liberty and loyal to the Constitution, then your question (seems) based on the false premise that we believe everything in American history is good and pure.
These are the official lyrics. Lyrics were occasionally changed per tour.
I wasn't really addressing the libertarians.

This song was released in the 90s. It's in response to US foreign policy in El Salvador.
