Kid Rock is back with a new single "We The People" whose lyrics are uncreatively right-leaning. Uncreative in the way that Kid Rock uses the big-kids-secret-club-code "Let's go Brandon" chant alongside lyrics about CNN, TMZ, and COVID safety protocols – all the stuff you've been hearing for the past few years without any actual, meaningful criticism. Just a bunch of "fuck yous" without any real explanation, which I guess for some people works.
Speaking of all the "fuck yous,," Kid Rock then proceeds to ask everyone to come together in peace and harmony at the end of the song with lyrics like "it's all for one and it's one for all" before launching into one more "Let's Go Brandon" chant. So basically come together, but only within Kid Rock's politics. I mean, is anyone surprised by any of this at this point? Dude is clearly gunning for a very specific audience lately and this is no different.
Musically, the song sounds like a demo of a radio-friendly nü-metal song from the '90s that "Weird Al" Yankovic might have to reassure everyone wasn't him once again. You can also read the lyrics below, which are certainly Kid Rock lyrics in 2022.
We the people in all we do
Reserve the right to scream “Fuck you”
(Hey-yeah) ow
(Hey-yeah) huh
“Wear your mask, take your pills”
Now a whole generation’s mentally ill
(Hey-yeah) man, fuck Fauci
(Hey-yeah)
But COVID’s near, it’s coming to town
We gotta act quick, shut our borders down
Joe Biden does, the media embraces
Big Don does it and they call him racist
We the people (ooh, let’s go Brandon)
We the people (ooh, let’s go Brandon)
We the people (ooh, let’s go Brandon)
We the people
Fuck Facebook, fuck Twitter too
And the mainstream media, fuck you too, too, too
(Woo) yeah, you
We the people (ooh, yeah)
We the people
Inflation’s up, like the minimum wage
So it’s all the same, it ain’t a damn thing changed
(Hey-yeah
Hey-yeah)
You piece of shit, I don’t see color
“Black lives matter”, no shit motherfucker
(Hey-yeah
Hey-yeah)
But we gotta keep fighting for the right to be free
And every human being doesn’t have to agree
We all bleed red, brother, listen to me
It’s time for love and unity
We the people (ooh, let’s go Brandon)
We the people (ooh, let’s go Brandon)
We the people (ooh, let’s go Brandon)
We the people
Fuck CNN, fuck TMZ
And you social media trolls, y’all can suck on deez (deez)
Deez nuts, that’s what’s up
We the people (ha-ha)
If you down with love and wanna make things better
All we gotta do is just come together
Weather the storm, and take my hand
Then follow my lead to the promised land
‘Cause we the people, we gotta unite
To follow that good time guiding light
Climb aboard this love boat
And rock that bitch up and down the coast
In order to form a more perfect union
Do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America
We the people (ooh, let’s go Brandon)
We the people (ooh, let’s go Brandon)
We the people (ooh, let’s go Brandon)
We the people
Standing up, and standing tall
‘Cause it’s all for one and it’s one for all
All, all, all
We the people (ooh)
We the people
Let’s go Brandon
Let’s go Brandon
Let’s go Brandon
Let’s go Brandon
