country songs used to be like "it's funny how i'm drinking myself to death here" and "funny how i work here and always fall in love with guys like him" and now they're all "i own a $95,000 truck" and "i support the US giving material, intelligence and logistical support for the liquidation of gaza"
Those Poor Bastards for me.
"Some have tried to lift me up
But I only dragged them down with me
For I cannot escape the darkness
The iris of my eye
Is cancerous and black
And I cannot escape the darkness"
Now imagine it sung country.
