Keep The Change: Hank Williams Jr.’s Releases Track Bashing Fox and Friends

audio
» 51 comments

Hank Williams Jr. officially released his new comeback song, “Keep The Change” late Friday slamming Fox and Friends and how they “asked for his opinion” and “spun it all around.” The anchors were “Supposed to be talkin’ about my father’s new CD”, Williams croons, then cryptically adds, “Well two can play that ‘Gotcha Game’, just wait and see.” Watch out for Bocephus, Steve Doocy! Williams is celebrating his new track by touring the talk shows later today, going on The View and Hannity.

“Keep The Change” affirms that Williams will keep fighting on and not bite his tongue when asked about his thoughts on President Obama despite ESPN dropping his theme song.

I’ll keep my freedom
I’ll keep my guns
Try to keep my money
And my religion too

Try to keep on workin’
Try to keep on smilin’
I will keep my Christian name and y’all can keep the change

I will keep my heroes
Pictures on the wall
I’ll keep my family safe
You bluff when I call
I’m gonna keep my big V8
Keep my friends the same
Keep the government outta my business
And y’all can keep the change

This country sure as hell been goin’ down the drain
We know what we need
We know who to blame
United Socialist States of America
How do ya like that name?
I’ll keep the USA and y’all can keep the change

So FOX and friends
Wanna put me down
Ask for my opinions
Then twist it all around
Supposed to be talkin’ about my father’s new CD
Well two can play that “Gotcha’ Game” just wait and see
Don’t tread on me

This country sure as hell been goin’ down the drain
We know what we need
We know who to blame
United Socialist States of America
Don’t ya just LOVE that name?
I’ll keep the USA and y’all can keep the change

I’ll keep the USA and y’all can keep the change

    Don’t worry, he’s just somebody that you would disagree with, prompting you to wish he would die.

    I’ve only espoused my hope that Rush Limbaugh dies. I’ve explained it and stand by it and continue to wish for it. No need to extrapolate it to “everyone you would disagree with”. My distinctions are clear.

    Aw, you must be a Yankee Progressive. Ok, let me educate you, America is a BIG country, and outside New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle and Portland, there are libertarians, conservatives and independents who HATE Obama and his policies. So when we’re looking for a song to express our anger, we look for people like Hank Williams Jr. to give us a hand. Get it now?

    Well said, Lisa. I think what became a bad thing is admitting you want to make money after college. By the way, have you seen “An American Carol”? I love the scene where Michael Moore is eating lobster next to a woman wearing jewels while the MoveAlong.org speaker attacks the rich.

    no you just wish you had the balls to do it you self!!

  • Usend1950

    Hank Jr. Has got it right, this country is really messed up with the current administration.

    My favorite example is
    always Nazi Germany because so many people forget that it was a
    socialist dictatorship.  Or perhaps they’re ignorant of the fact that
    the Nazi’s official and frequently forgotten name was the National Socialist
    German Worker’s Party.  In other words, while most people consider the
    Nazi party to be a totalitarian ideology arising from the right, it was, in fact, a totalitarian party arising from the left. 

    Practically
    within minutes of the Nazi takeover of the German government,
    individuals were subordinated to the state.  Even industries that
    remained privately owned (and there were many, as opponents of the Nazis
    = socialist theory like to point out), were allowed to do so only if
    their owners bent their efforts to the benefit of the state.  Show a
    hint of individualism, and an unwillingness to cooperate, and you’d
    swiftly find yourself in Dachau, with a government operative sitting in
    that executive chair you once owned.

    We all know what life was like in this Nazi socialist
    state.  Citizens immediately lost the right to bear arms; thought
    crimes were punished with imprisonment and death; children were
    indoctrinated into giving their allegiance to the state, not the family;
    the government dictated the way in which people could live their
    day-to-day lives; and people who appeared to be outliers to the harmony
    of the conscienceless government entity (gays, mentally ill-people,
    physically handicapped people, Jews, gypsies) were dehumanized and
    eventually slaughtered. 

    And
    here’s something important for you to realize as you think about what
    happened in that socialist state.  While a core group of people, Hitler
    included, undoubtedly envisioned these extremes as their initial goals,
    most didn’t.  They just thought that, after the utter chaos of the 1920s
    (especially the economic chaos), the socialists would calm the economy
    (which they did), and simply remove from people the painful obligation
    of having to make their way in the world.  It was only incrementally
    that the average German bought into the ever-more-extreme demands of the
    state – and those who didn’t buy in were coerced because of the state’s
    unfettered willingness to use its vast, brute power to subordinate
    individuals to its demand.

    Here’s
    another example:  the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.  In my
    liberal days in the 1970s and 1980s, it was very popular to downplay
    what was going on in the USSR and, instead, chalk up fear of the Soviets
    to the foul remnants of McCarthyism.  This was extreme intellectual
    dishonesty on our part.  The fact is that life in the USSR was always
    horrible. Keep saying it like it is Hank Jr.

    i agree i think if more people stood up like hank did this country would be a better place

  • Tom

    No bet I bet your more ignorant on government issues, like I bet you didn’t know the Government is a c-corporation for profit just like Walmart. Don’t see Walmart making laws do ya. I have a c-corp too and I guess I should make laws too. We are all c-corps. They are a building on the peoples land and just a building spitting out laws to put us in our place and make money through courts because we break stupid laws they continue to make without using the constitution no longer. Get you  head out of your ??? and start researching what this corporate government is doing to us true Americans. People you better wake up before you end up in one of the 800 FEMA concentration camps we have in every state of the corporation.

  • tom

    President of the US Corporation. They have board of directors, so don’t really think we have a real congress do you. It looks like we have a government, but can you tell any other real corporation what to do like Walmart. So why do you think we can tell the US, Inc. really what to do. They have really outfoxed the American people and wonder why every state is now capitalized. Our names, states, are all caps now, are corporations. 185,000 corporations in the federal government now. They own the media, that’s why Hank’s gone you ignorant people. Join the real Republic for the united States of America.

  • Uptownguy74

    yes only because his son hank sr is still known . if not for an awesome talented  jr most people would be saying hank who ? was his father talented he sure was . but we forget in about a yr or so. and why should we respect the office of the president if our own president has not . if you are a democrat then he called ohbozo hitler . but if you have a brain then he was comparing the difference in the two clowns playing golf . As in they are as different as hitler & a jewish leader . TELL me something is there any difference in hitler & a jewish leader ? i can not believe i had to explain it to you . Democrats are always showing how dumb they are !! 

  • Uptownguy74

    well he ain’t a musician -no – but just what do you call a guy that can play piano like jerry lee ; or fats domino ; play the drums ; play any string instrument as good or better then most . play the sax . – and sing the blues ; jazz = rock =country – the best in the last 30 years . And when is anyone going to have 9 albums on the billboard list top 200 ever again ? A feat only hank jr has done in 1981 ; he picked up the name the new boss of country in 1981` and never parted with it . no better concert to go to even today !!!
