Not my cup of tea musically. But not bad.
Yes, they are political. They always have been. But then, music has always been a big part of protests.
The video is not just BLM. It covers quite a few protest issues. I saw Feminists, Vietnam protests, LGBT protesters, and even Native American protests. It is a song about marching for what you believe in. Like I said, the music is not my cup of tea. But I like to see people encouraged to march for what they believe.
I'm not a country fan but I like that song. Mostly because of the words and what it's saying. The song is simplistic but I it is perfect for the song's purpose.
You are very correct. It's not just about BLM. It's about a lot of different things.
I have been a rock and roll fan since the 1960s. It's my favorite music.
Here are the words to the song.
[Chorus]
March, march to my own drum
March, march to my own drum
Hey, hey, I'm an army of one
Oh, I'm an army of one
March, march to my own drum
March, march to my own drum
Hey, hey, I'm an army of one
Oh, I'm an army of one
[Verse 1]
Brenda's packing heat 'cause she don't like Mondays
Underpaid teacher policing the hallways
Print yourself a weapon and take it to the gun range
(Ah, cut the shit, you ain't going to the gun range)
Standing with Emma and our sons and daughters
Watchin' our youth have to solve our problems
I'll follow them so who's comin' with me?
(Half of you love me, half already hate me)
[Chorus]
March, march to my own drum
March, march to my own drum
Hey, hey, I'm an army of one
Oh, I'm an army of one
March, march to my own drum
March, march to my own drum
Hey, hey, I'm an army of one
Oh, I'm an army of one
[Verse 2]
Tell the ol' boys in the white bread lobby
What they can and can't do with their bodies
Temperatures are rising, cities are sinkin'
(Ah, cut the shit, you know your city is sinkin')
Lies are truth and truth is fiction
Everybody's talkin', who's gonna listen?
What the hell happened in Helsinki?
[Chorus]
March, march to my own drum
March, march to my own drum
Hey, hey, I'm an army of one
Oh, I'm an army of one
March, march to my own drum
March, march to my own drum
Hey, hey, I'm an army of one
Oh, I'm an army of one
