Rock Out With Your Schlock Out
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.Ambassador Tom and the Mortgaged Youth are sick and tired of your black president talking down to little girls and the Supreme Court.

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).
Dig, Root, GrowYou 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
