why did Floyd..

[j.razor]

I love this country but what they did to those Vietnam vets was disgraceful.

& **** they have done b-4, after & right now...!

True it is not a patriotic song but maybe floyd, like most Americans (including me), never listen to the lyrics other than the hook and thought it was a patriotic song. Most people still think it is a patriotic song.

Floyd is too intelligent to make a mistake like that, he obviously done it for a reason, god knows why

[2501 v2.0]

Because he is in the free masons with Jay Z.

you're giving Floyd too much credit...i bet he couldnt recite two sentences of the lyrics to that song

I'm pretty sure a political figure even used this song for his campaign before. That's how misinterpreted it is.

I remember they kept playing it at my work during the 4th of july. I was like uhhh wtf?

[Rock Steady]

[AntonTheMeh]

I agree.

i dont listen to that kind of music and never heard anything really beyond the hook (from TV commercials and such) and i personally thought it was a patriotic song until it was pointed out here.

So it is very possible that floyd knew the hook of the song (many of us have heard it at some point in our lives) and thought it would be a good song to use and thought it was pro-america.

Im willing to bet thats how it worked out.

good observation to you and the thread starter.
