If you maybe, sort of, kind of, need some motivation in your day, this might be it. It’s a song by Aaron Lewis, released back in October of 2021 (sorry, we missed it), but it’s no less relevant today and in need of hearing and sharing as we creep inexorably toward the next “most important election” in our history.
He asks a question we may ask ourselves and each other all the time. Am I the only one “Shakin’ my head and thinkin’ somethin’ ain’t right?” The answer is no, but some days it is difficult to believe it. People want to hide their heads in the sand while you, like Aaron, are wondering, “Is it just me? Am I losin’ my mind? Am I standin’ on the edge of the end of time?”
We try to ensure everyone knows they are not alone in this. If you are truly committed to defending and advancing conservatarianism, individual liberty, limited government, and natural rights, that have your back. And while we are content to stay in the fight 24/7/365, most of our folks, especially the folks we need in the middle, want to return to their lives.
Hey, we won; game over. But it’s never over. That evil never rests.
“The battle against tyranny is eternal, as is the desire for liberty but tyranny never rests, so – like them – neither shall we.”
But you’re not the only one.
Lyrics below the music video.
Am I the only one here tonight
Shakin’ my head and thinkin’ somethin’ ain’t right?
Is it just me? Am I losin’ my mind?
Am I standin’ on the edge of the end of time?
Am I the only one? Tell me I’m not
Who thinks they’re takin’ all the good we got
And turnin’ it bad? Hell, I’ll be damned
I think I’m turnin’ into my old man
Am I the only one willin’ to bleed
Or take a bullet for bein’ free
Screamin’, “What the fuck!” at my TV
For tellin’ me, yeah, are you tellin’ me?
That I’m the only one willin’ to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin’ on the ground?
Another statue comin’ down in a town near you
Watchin’ the threads of Old Glory come undone
Am I the only one not brainwashed
Makin’ my way through the land of the lost
Who still gives a shit and worries ’bout his kids
As they try to undo all the things he did?
Am I the only one who can’t take no more
Screamin’, “If you don’t like it, there’s the fuckin’ door!”
This ain’t the freedom we’ve been fightin’ for
It was somethin’ more, yeah, it was somethin’ more
Am I the only one willin’ to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin’ on the ground?
Another statue comin’ down in a town near you
Watchin’ the threads of Old Glory come undone
Not the only one
I can’t be the only one
Am I the only one who quits singin’ along
Every time they play a Springsteen song?
Am I the only one sittin’ here
Still holdin’ on, holdin’ back my tears
For the ones who paid with the lives they gave?
God bless the USA
I’m not the only one willin’ to fight
For my love of the red and white
And the blue, burnin’ on the ground
Another statue comin’ down in a town near you
Watchin’ the threads of Old Glory come undone
I’m not the only one
I can’t be the only one
