Oliver Anthony. Remember that name. He wrote a song called “Rich Men North of Richmond” and some are calling it the “new American anthem.” He has used his talent to share with the world how many Americans feel today, myself included. Here are the lyrics:

“Rich Men North of Richmond”

by Oliver Anthony


I’ve been selling’ my soul, workin’ all day

Overtime hours for bullshit pay

So I can sit out here and waste my life away

Drag back home and drown my troubles away

It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to

For people like me and people like you

Wish I could just wake up and it not be true

But it is, oh, it is

Livin’ in the new world

With an old soul

The rich men north of Richmond

Lord knows they all just wanna have total control

Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do

And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do

‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit and it’s taxed to no end

‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond


I wish politicians would look our for miners

And not just minors on an island somewhere

Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat

And the obese milking’ welfare


Well, God, if you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds

Taxes ought not to pay your bags of fudge rounds

Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground

‘Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin’ them down

It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to

For people like me and people like you

Wish I could just wake up and it not be true

But it is, oh, it is

Livin’ in the new world

With an old soul

The rich men north of Richmond

Lord knows they all just wanna have total control

Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do

And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do

‘Cause your dollar ain’t shit and it’s taxed to no end

‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond


I’ve been selling’ my soul, workin’ all day

Overtime hours for bullshit pay - End


Wow! I don’t know this man but I sure do admire him for standing up and speaking truth. He laid it out and put it all on the line. Mainstream Media will attack him. They will try to cancel him. If you agree with his lyrics we need to support and stand with him.


We didn’t come this far, to come this far.
