Have you forgotten?

[IDemo]

Heard this song on a co-worker's radio this afternoon (all sappy country, all the time).
Remember, boycotting the letter 'g' is patriotizin' fer you n' me (and so's forgettin 'bout yer historeee!):

Darryl Worley - Have You Forgotten lyrics

I hear people sayin'. We Don't need this war.
I say there's some things worth fightin' for.
What about our freedom, and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backin' down.
They say we don't realize the mess we're gettin' in
Before you start preachin' let me ask you this my friend.

Chorus
Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten, when those towers fell
We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell
And you say we shouldn't worry bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

You took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbin for you and me
It'll just breed anger is what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country just out lookin' for a fight
Well after 9/11 man I'd have to say right.

Chorus
Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell
We had neighbors still inside goin' through a livin' hell
And we vow to get the ones behind Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?

I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
you can bet they remember just what they're fightin' for

Have you forgotten
All the people killed
Yes some went down like heroes
In that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten
About our Pentagon
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden

Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?

Have you forgotten?

1. America would be infinitely better off if we HAD forgotten.

Shame on Darryl Worley.

2. Of course not. Too many people using it to get ahead, in politics mostly...but

apparently in country music too. I'm pretty sick of it and I think we'd be better off if you'd stop harping on it, Mr. Worley.

Have you EVER thought about how many more people have died in these two useless wars? Or have you forgotten?
