Toby Keith, eat your heart out.
Edited on Sat Nov-19-05 01:59 PM by dean_dem
OK, I did a search and it didn't look like anyone had posted this yet, so I just have to share.

If you ever wondered what would Toby Keith sound like, if he was transformed into a lame Bushbot bar band...

Probably something like this: http://www.therightbrothers.com/

Who cares if it's total BS? Just listen to that catchy melody!

1. Keith Olbermann did a good job ripping these guys apart
They think they're going to get on MTV! :rofl:

And if they don't, they say it will be censorship, and not because (as Olbermann said) THEY SUCK!

3. That's what they all say, isn't it?
Like that actor Ron Silverman (?) who says he doesn't get more work because he's a republican. Sure, buddy.

12. Ron Silver's in a movie called "Xenophobia"?
Talk about typecasting.

2. Bluch! You knew there had to be a talking fetus song
on there some where...and here it is!

I Want To Live
Written by: Aaron Sain/Frank Highland
Lead vocals: Frank Highland

You found out about me and you're feeling scared
You're thinking I'm a big mistake
The man upstairs says, “Be prepared”
Says I may not see the light of day
Well, I didn't ask to be here
But now that I am

Chorus
Mama I want to live
Mama I want to breathe
Just give me the chance to be all I can be
Mama I want to grow
Mama I want to see
And I want you to know I can feel your heart beat
Just give me a chance I've got so much to give
Mama I want to live

You say you're too young for this to happen now
You're starting college in the fall
Why let your hopes and dreams come crashing down
When there's an easy fix for it all
That voice inside your head you can't ignore
Mama that's me

Repeat Chorus

Somewhere out there in the world tonight
A couple's waiting down on their knees

Praying you'll let me live
Hoping you'll let me breathe
That you'll give me the chance to be all I can be
Mama my eyes are blue
Mama I want to see
And if you only knew how strong my heart beat
You'd give me a chance
I've got so much to give
Mama I want to live

6. You know...
If you assume that song is actually about a wrongly-convicted poor African-American kid who's sitting on Death Row (as opposed to an unidentifiable blastocyst) it actually makes a lot more sense.

7. Oh god, that was awful
Not to mention it was clearly a ripoff of We Didn't Start The Fire.

11. I say, good luck to them.
As a trained musician I listen to the tunes first, the tuning of the instruments (including the voices) next, then the lyrics, and finally the overall musicality.

I listened to several clips and have to say, the lyrics are their strong suit. :boring:
