Rock Out With Your Schlock Out

Posted on Apr 25, 2010

Ambassador Tom and the Mortgaged Youth are sick and tired of your black president talking down to little girls and the Supreme Court. They just want their freedom back, America.

No, that isn’t Jeff Van Gundy in a mime shirt conservative-rocking out in the clip below. It appears to be Tom Schweich, the Tom Schweich running for Missouri auditor. The same Tom Schweich who calls himself “Ambassador Tom” because, according to his website, President George W. Bush “accorded him a rare honor—the rank of Ambassador.”

The song is called “Gimme Back My Freedom” (because proper spelling is for terrorists).

You think you’re so smart
That you can run my life
Well I don’t need your help
And neither does my wife

Bailouts and debt
They got me feelin dissed
Sellin’ out my son to Chinese communists

I don’t like it
I won’t take it
With God’s help, yeah
We’re gonna make it

Refrain
Gimme back my freedom
Or I’m gonna fight
I don’t need your handouts
I just want my rights
[repeat]

Oooh hoo (yeah yeah), all right
Are you ready to fight?
[repeat]

We work real hard
For all we have achieved
And we love every life
From the day it was conceived
We don’t bow
To hateful foreign kings
We don’t apologize
And we don’t kiss their rings

I don’t like it
I won’t take it
With God’s help, yeah
We’re gonna make it

Refrain

You talk way down
To everyone it seems
From small town girls
to the United States Supremes
We’re on to you
So get off of your tower
My Constitution says
The people have the power

I don’t like it
I won’t take it
With God’s help, yeah
We’re gonna make it
