Songwriters: Mary Chapin Carpenter RIFF = / [Intro] | | | / | | | | / | | | | / | | | | / || [Verse 1] This isn't for the ones who blindly follow Jingoistic bumper stickers telling you to love it or leave it and you'd better love Jesus and get out of the way of the Red, White and Blue. [Interlude] | | | / | | | | / || [Verse 2] This isn't for the ones who buy their six-packs at the 7-Eleven where the clerk makes change, whose accent makes clear he sure ain't from here, they call him a camel jockey instead of his name. [Chorus] No, this is for the ones who stand their ground when the lines in the sand get deeper, when the whole world seems to be upside down and the shots being taken get cheaper, cheaper. [Verse 3] This isn't for the ones who would gladly swallow everything their leader would have them know, bowing and kissing while the truth goes missing "Bring it on, " he crows, putting on his big show. [Verse 4] This isn't for the man who can't count the bodies, can't comfort the families, can't say when he's wrong, playing 'I'm the decider' like some sort of Messiah while another day passes and a hundred souls gone. [Chorus] No, this is for the ones who stand their ground when the lines in the sand get deeper, when the whole world seems to be upside down and the shots being taken get cheaper, cheaper. [Interlude] | | | / | | | | / | | | | / | | | | / || [Bridge] This is for the ones that I see above me, three little stars in a great big sky, light for the world and hope for the weary, they try. [Verse 5] This isn't for the ones with their radio signal, calling for bonfires and boycotts, they rave, exhorting their listeners to spit on the sinners while counting the bucks of advertising, they'll say. [Verse 6] This isn't for you and you know who you are, so, just do what you want 'cause I know that you can, but I gotta be true to myself and to you, so on with the song, I don't give a damn.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson s'adresse à ceux qui choisissent de rester fermes dans leurs convictions face à une société de plus en plus compliquée et déstabilisante. Elle critique ceux qui suivent aveuglément des idéologies et des leaders qui manipulent la vérité à leur goût, ainsi que ceux qui jugent les autres sans comprendre leurs origines et leur humanité. Au lieu de plier devant des pressions ou des stéréotypes, elle célèbre ceux qui continuent d'affirmer leurs valeurs et d'apporter de l'espoir, même lorsque tout semble perdu. Le contexte souligne l'existence d'un monde dans lequel les lignes de morale et d'intégrité semblent floues, où les discours politiques et sociaux peuvent être détournés pour servir des intérêts personnels. Ce message résonne particulièrement dans une période où les tensions sociales et les crises politiques sont omniprésentes, et rappelle l'importance de la sincérité et de la solidarité.
