Hank Williams Jr.'s analogy comparing Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler didn't go over well with many. And the response he's received apparently hasn't gone over well with him.
Williams apologized after making the comments that prompted ESPN to pull his intro to last week's Monday Night Football telecast. But upon learning that ESPN was cutting ties with him permanently, the country singer decided to respond in a song.
The song, called "Keep the Change," blasts both Fox & Friends and ESPN.
It was originally believed that the song is entirely new, but Greg Cote of The Miami Herald points out that the song was originally recorded in 2008 as a play on Obama's "Change" campaign theme.
Nevertheless, here are the lyrics to the song, according to Deadspin:
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'll keep my heroes
Pictures on the wall
I'll keep my family safe
You're [something] 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 you like that name?
I'll keep the U.S.A. and y'all can keep the change
So Fox & Friends
Wanna put me down
Ask for my opinion
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 you just love that name?
I'll keep the U.S.A. and y'all can keep the change
I'll keep the U.S.A. and y'all can keep the change
Yeah, you can keep Fox & Friends and ESPN outta yer homes, too! 'Cause Bocephus and all his rowdy friends—and his song—is out of there!
