Any time you introduce politics into something that should be about something else — sports, music, acting, fiction, storytelling — you are corrupting your relationship with your audience. — Kyle Becker, columnist, RedState

That’s It lyrics

No lecturesNo grandstandingNo woke-scoldingJust entertainment

Live music is amazingI got peopleI got fansI got friendsFriends from every walk of lifeFriends from every political stripe

We got one thing in commonWe’re all here to see a showI’m not going to lecture peopleNo lecture about anything

I’m going to play songsWe’re all going to leave hereWe’re going to be happierWe’re going to be better for itThat’s it

There is joyThere is happinessThere is sadnessThere is victoryThere is defeatThere is lifeThere is deathThere is grievingThere is healing

I’m going to play songsWe’re all going to leave hereWe’re going to be happierWe’re going to be better for itThat’s it

That’s it

That’s it

That’s it

Celebrate Labor Day week with a song adapted from an article by Ward Clark (Source: https://redstate.com/wardclark/2026/09/07/labor-day-is-our-day-heres-why-n2206612).

Labor Day Is Our Day lyrics

Work comes firstA man takes careTakes care of his family firstThen takes care of himself

Anything worth doingIs worth doing wellThere are no lousy jobsJust lousy people

Show up a little earlierEarlier than the other guysWork a little harderHarder than the other guys

If asked to take on a taskAlways say yes, yesNever pass up a chanceTo learn something new

Labor Day is the dayThe day for people who workPeople who produce valuePeople who contribute to our economy

On this Labor DayEnjoy the downtimeGrill some steaksPop open a cold tall can

Labor Day is our dayTake the time todayWork will always be thereBe there tomorrow and beyond

This song is adapted from a speech at the RNC Midterm Convention. It was presented by Mike LiPetri, Republican congressional candidate from New York.

We Are the Party lyrics

I was born and raisedIn a middle class familyAn Italian-American familyLike most of youI don’t come fromA political family

Like all of youI believe our nation raisesRaises the very bestRaises the smartestRaises the strongestAnd we never apologize for it

I believe our future is brightBut only if We The PeopleHave the courage to stand upTo stand up and fight for it

Republicans wantTo prosecute fraudstersDemocrats put their heads in the sandWhile their friends line their pocketsWhile the Democrats choose the DSAWe Republicans choose the USA!

The Republicans areThe party of common senseCommon sense over chaosHard work over handouts

We are the partyThat will always remind the worldThat in this countryThere is only room for one flagRoom for one allegianceRoom for one great American comeback

God bless you!God bless America!
