On the Mudcat Facebook page, somebody posted a YouTube video of Oliver Anthony's "Rich Men North of Richmond." I took a listen to the song and hated it. Feel free to post or discuss other songs you hate in this thread.

RICH MEN NORTH OF RICHMOND
(Oliver Anthony)

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

It's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain't got nothin' to eat
And the obese milkin' welfare

Well, God, if you're 5-foot-3 and you're 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin' themselves six feet in the ground
'Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin' them down

Lord, it's a damn shame what the world's gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin' in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don't think you know, but I know that you do
'Cause your dollar ain't shit and it's taxed to no end
'Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I've been sellin' my soul, workin' all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay

He sure has a shitty prejudice against people who are obese, but that's not all that's wrong with him.

TRY THAT IN A SMALL TOWN
(Kelley Lovelace / Neil Thrasher / Tully Kennedy / Kurt Michael Allison)

Sucker punch somebody on a sidewalk
Carjack an old lady at a red light
Pull a gun on the owner of a liquor store
Ya think it's cool, well, act a fool if ya like

Cuss out a cop, spit in his face
Stomp on the flag and light it up
Yeah, ya think you're tough

Well, try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

Got a gun that my granddad gave me
They say one day they're gonna round up
Well, that shit might fly in the city, good luck
Try that in a small town

See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town

Full of good ol' boys, raised up right
If you're looking for a fight
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town

Try that in a small town
See how far ya make it down the road
Around here, we take care of our own
You cross that line, it won't take long
For you to find out, I recommend you don't
Try that in a small town
Try that in a small town
Ooh-ooh
Try that in a small town

Blood and Justice by Grandpa's Cough Medicine. I think the lyrics speak for themselves. A nice song to pander with, like the rest. (To state the obvious, I do not endorse this song's message.)

There's a thing I gotta do, it ain't nice and it ain't legal
There's men I'm gonna trail up like a bloodhound or a beagle
The internet was handy, helped me work a whole lot less
I've got a list of pedophiles & their home address
Now I'm going to door to door with my magnum .44
Show no mercy, & I don't hesitate
If you confirm your name & you assume the blame
I am just the bringer of your fate

I'll find you & I'll lay the hammer down
Gonna be a wave of blood & justice running through this town
The lawdogs let you go & that ain't ok with me
They sentenced you to death the minute that they set you free
Well, everybody knows I've got a mean streak
It's high time that I put it to good use
If you'll touch a kid, you ain't got the right to live
No more slaps on the wrist for child abuse

If you're a pedophile & you're a-listening
& You don't wanna look me in the face
Just go ahead & do it, go on & kill yourself
You'll only leave this world a better place

Or I'll find you & I'll lay the hammer down
Gonna be a wave of blood & justice running through this town
The lawdogs let you go & that ain't ok with me
They sentenced you to death the minute that they set you free
