I didn't ever say it was. My original comment was that it is a song I'm bored with, not a song a have a distaste for or think is a bad song.
I don't think any of those songs are bad, I have actually enjoyed every one of them for many years. They just don't interest me at all anymore.

Don't know why Glorified G is getting lumped in with the stinkers, it's always great.

Hmmm, I've never really looked at 'em.

Got a gun, fact I got two
That's ok man, cuz I love god
-----Like 'em so far. God and guns made America great.
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Feels so manly, when armed
--------Still not bad. Guns do feel manly.
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a pellet gun
-----------Okay, still cool. TBH, not quite sure what is meant by this line, but I still like it.
Don't think, dumb is strength
Never shot at a living thing
--------First line, wtf? stupid. Second line is fine.
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Feels so manly, when armed
------Okay, was alright the first time, alright the second time.
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a pellet gun
Glorified version of a...
-------Still good.
Always keep it loaded
Always keep it loaded
Always keep it loaded
-------I like these enough.
Kindred to be an American...
----------Okay. 2nd amendment!
Life comes...I can feel your heart...
Life comes...I can feel your heart through your neck...
Life comes...I can feel your heart through your neck...
Like some...I can steal your heart from your neck...
-----------This section seems to be the worst part of the lyrics. WTF is he talking about here? How does it relate to the rest of the song?
Glorified...glorified...
----This is alright.


So I don't think I'd say terrrrrrrible lyrics, I actually like most of them. That first line in the second verse definitely sucks, and the "Life comes" section isn't making much sense, but overall I'd say not bad.

I think it's the most egregious example of Eddie's "asshole liberal" side. It feels pandering and ignorant to me; it's not there to change minds or give any insight - just to bash people who like guns and point out how dumb they are. I hate shit like that.

But, like I said, the music makes it (mostly) work.
