Frank Turner - Make America Great Again Lyrics






Well I know I'm just an ignorant Englishman
But I'd like to make America great again
So if you'll forgive my accent and the cheek of it
Here's some suggestions from the special relationship

Let's make America great again
By making racists ashamed again
Let's make compassion in fashion again
Let's make America great again

Well I've been fortunate to go round the continent
From California through the Midwest to Providence
And I've mostly only encountered common sense
Hospitality and warmth from Americans
But I wish it was a bit less significant
The program and the name of the president
Because it seems to me the truth is self evident
You fought our king to be independent

Make America great again
By making racists ashamed again
Let's make compassion in fashion again
Let's make America great again

Ellis Island take me in
Everyone can start again
In the shining city on the hill
Where nobody can be illegal

Let's make America great again
By making racists ashamed again
Let's make compassion in fashion again
Let's make America great again
Let's be a friend to our oldest friends
And call them out when they're faltering
Remind them of their best selves and then
We'll make America great again

    Maybe some day you socialists will get what you want, the destruction of the greatest country on earth, and freedom itself... you’ll be eating your own pets like they are in Venezuela, then it will be too late to go back. I’m guessing a lot of you are supportive of Democrats or Democratic socialists. You should take a look at your political party before you start calling people racists and nazis, as it turns out hitler got his idea for mass murder of the Jewish people from Andrew Jackson who was the first democratic president in U.S. history who ordered the mass killing and exile of the Native Americans into camps (reservations). Another interesting fact for you... no republican president had ever owned a Slave in the history of America, many of the democratic presidents did and they all supported it and fought for it up until the civil war and the end of slavery. But those good old democrats weren’t ready to give in so easily so they started the Klu Klux Klan... then the Democrats fought viciously to undo president Abraham Lincoln’s work to restore our African American brethren’s rights by starting the segregation movement.... you people need to study history and find out the truth, you are being lied to by the biggest scumbags this country has ever had to endure. The Democrats have been nothing but a plague to racial equality and freedom since their founding. GET EDUCATED AND QUIT BEING MINDLESS SHEEP!

    LIBTARDS

  11. A.... G....

    The quote on the statue of liberty reads: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless and tempest tossed. I lift my lamp at our golden gates.” This is what america stands for. We are supposed to be the shining beacon on the hill

    A.... G....

    Andrew Grogan You should really educate yourself. The poem has NOTHING TO DO WITH the intentions regarding the founding of the USA. It’s the words of a Jewish immigrant well over a hundred years later. Today immigration is give us your uneducated broke future welfare recipients destroying communities, freedoms, rights and sovereignty of a once Great Nation.

  12. A.... G....

    If you dont know the city on the hill reference and the where no one is illegal. Watch ronald regans exit speech city on the hill. He echoes frank in 1989 as a republican

  13. A.... G....

    This song brings tears to my eyes. Im so over us vs them

  14. S.... M....

    I like it when Frank reveals the correct answer at the end. Almost like a Gameshow - "sorry no winners this week"

  15. B.... ....

    Always laugh that the last shot is by the dumpster.

    Hate how no one on the street was ecstatic to meet Frank, or even recognized him, and ALSO how no one in the comments seams to recognize Will Varley at 2:18

    Just shows that music is all flash now, and the true artists remain obscure, unsung, unhonoured

  20. p.... ....

    I'm ready to shame racist.

  21. g.... ....

    This is too cringing corny. I’m for MAGA but this is beyond lame.

  22. T.... N....

    Palmer's Bar in MPLS! Hell yeah!

  23. P.... K....

    This song is one of the most requested on my radio show. STILL.

  24. D.... D....

    This has such a bad message. And it hits those who think it’s real. “Let’s make racists shamed again” Again? It’s been shamed for a while dumbass

  25. G.... ....

    This was such a great feeling of hope. Remember people of the world, there are only a few people in our country who have fallen for the conman.  The rest of us want us to be UNITED states of America.  NOT DIVIDED states !!!

  26. R.... H....

    Enforcing you borders isnt racist. Not wanting your tax money to go to those that don't pay taxes is not racist. Being proud to be white is not racist. And defending your country against those that would see it fall is not racist.

  27. F.... S....

    You indeed are just an ignorant englishman

  28. D.... J....

    Let´s make america great.........some cheese again.

  29. J.... L....

    Thank you Frank Turner for this very positive song. I'm late at hearing it but really this made my day during these dark times...especially this week...and the new assault on women's reproductive rights :)

  30. J.... N....

    Hey FrankTurner and fans, watch this take on this song... https://youtu.be/aQfq2hTUHes

  31. S.... S....

    #MAGA, thank you for the music!

  32. n.... ....

    309 people are apparently racists that thought this was a pro Trump song before hearing it.

  33. A.... G....

    Well if that wasn't a great video I don't know what is.

  39. C.... G....

    Loving the casual Will Varley cameo

  40. M.... ....

    I think a choir singing harmoniously sounds much better than one which sings in unison.
    Respect one another.... not in spite of our differences....but perhaps even because of them.
    They keep us free. ;-)

    This might be my favorite comment ever on YouTube. Amen my friend.

  56. T.... R....

    Straight Garbage/ pandering song

  57. J.... B....

    You are all fucking idiots!!!

    If you weren't you wouldn't talking about food and bullshit.

    You would be saying....

    To Make America Great Again =
    America - Country
    United States - Enemy

    United States = corporation
    Business - #1 - War - where US sends your children to die for the Rich!
    #2 - Prison - Literal entrapment to majority for Your Government ( Mind control ) brought in the drugs and create Laws that you can't even know so US makes you lose your freedom by having to hire an attorney/lawyer to represent you since You Can Not Speak for yourself! And these lawyers/attorneys have to take the Bar exam which is literal TREASON AGAINST AMERICANS!

    ENOUGH SAID?


    OH WHAT YOUR NOT BRAINWASHED AND CONTROLLED?

    REALLY THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU KNOW THIS?

    MUST BE YOU LEARNED THIS IS SCHOOL WHICH US SCHEDULE AND CHOOSE WHAT TO TEACH YOUR CHILDREN!!!


    GOD WILL PUNISH ALL THE US AND ANY SUPPORTERS

    J.... B....

    Uhh, calm down

  58. r.... c....

    i've seen this vid like 5 times and only just noticed the guy who wrote jeff rosenstock,, fuck yeah dude

  59. J.... B....

    Thumbs up if you're seeing Frank on his 2019 tour. Jimmy eat world too, it's going to be insane! Birmingham baby!

  60. K.... W....

    The greatest thing about america us when frank comes to america and beans on toast tell us where they are headed after the show!

  61. J.... H....

    Fuck me Frank, lets make Britain great again....

  62. B.... ....

    Leftist bullshit from a cunt who went to fucking Eaton. Frank is talking down to people, and he's literally one of the most privilleged people in the entire world.

  63. H.... ....

    As much as I love Frank Turner and this song, I have to take issue with the lyric "nobody can illegal." People in America an NEVER Illegal, only their actions. For the past 15 years I have been a cop in Texas, I have dedicated my life, this far, to serving my fellow man. I have worked, and made personal sacrifices, to protect the rights of EVERYONE irrespective of race, ethnicity, nation of origin, or any other factor. If you are in America (citizen or not) you are protected by the Bill of Rights, that is what makes America great, not to mention the vast majority of public servants that are willing to dedicate (and sacrifice) their lives to protecting the rights of everyone whether they agree or not. I proudly give a shit about everyone, whether anyone can see it or not. The ability to freely and passionately descent is another thing that makes America great. For the record, the deplorable xenophobia that Trump has tapped into is not racism. Hispanics/ Latinos are in fact racially caucazoide (white). Call a thing a thing my friend. By being imprecise it weakens our argument. For the record, my wife is an immigrant which shouldn't matter but apparently does.

    We are all on the same team... We have to live in this world. We are all responsible for it, good and bad. Be the change that you hope to see, and keep up the good fight!

  64. R.... R....

    Make RACISM extinct again Great lyrics

  65. C.... H....

    +1 to the dude who wrote Slipknot haha

  66. T.... B....

    great song!

  67. K.... M....

    Austin, TX is about the least complicated place in the country to do this. Come to Joplin, MO and chat with people about politics.

  68. A.... D....

    I'll be blaring this on my way to the polls tomorrow. My state is currently held by a truly despicable group of conservatards.

  69. J.... P....

    Wonderful song Wonderful spirit !!

  70. D.... W....

    Always knew my man frank was a Trump supporter. Bring the red wave 👍

    D.... W....

    Did you even listen to the song?

    D.... W....

    Awww buddy, you didn't listen to the lyrics, did you?

  71. T.... L....

    That is a great song Frank well done thank you for supporting Trump! Trump 2020!!!

    T.... L....

    Did you even listen to the song?

    T.... L....

    Awe, sweetheart, bless your heart. You idiot.

  72. D.... P....

    Jeezus, this was garbage

  73. C.... S....

    This guy isn't even American. What the fuck

  74. S.... ....

    LOVE THIS!

  75. L.... R....

    The verse about immigrants? That's where you lost me. There are legal channels for a very good reason, and open borders and illegal immigration are terrible ideas. Also, does the racism verse apply to everyone, or just white people being racist?

  76. A.... P....

    America has always been great can't make America great again because you didn't need to improve on a model and i finally realize what this s*** is all about we all hate and love each other equally this is the most dysfunctional functional country there he is it is designed to not make sense bottom line nobody wants anybody to succeed before them that America in a nutshell

  77. J.... B....

    Just saw him in Asbury.  Transformative.  What energy.

  78. M.... B....

    Last slide.... beside a trash bin with american written on the board.... wonder if that was intentionnal ;)

  79. T.... D....

    It's getting dusty in here.. Thanks Frank. Really. Thank you.

  80. D.... T....

    So underrated

  81. O.... ....

    This is great and hopeful and all, but I can't escape the feeling that if you tried this in the rural midwest (where I live), you'd soon lose hope and turn cynical like I do.

  82. I.... O....

    I like the guitar. Genre/ still ?

  83. p.... ....

    I f**king love this!

  84. b.... j....

    2:10 JEFF ROSENSTOCK IS THE SHIT MYYYY DUUUUUUUDE

  85. B.... Z....

    Frank... we love you!!

  86. B.... Z....

    Love this, but really love the dude with the Clutch shirt!

  87. Q.... Q....

    "America" is just trying to keep Donald out of prison. THAT defines The United States.

    Q.... Q....

    Qi Qi: You actually have to commit a crime to go to prison, & Trump's done nothing wrong. You must be buying the crap that our liberal media is selling("FAKE NEWS")

    Q.... Q....

    The "Plaid Shirt Guy" TOOK DOWN DONALD TRUMP!!!! BIG TIME!!!!!!!

  88. M.... S....

    Frank, this is awesome. Listened to your song on the radio today and I hope that your song will reach a lot of people. Keep up the great work. By the way: could you write one song for Britain and one for Germany next please? Happy to help you with that. Keep it up!

  89. J.... ....

    How messed up would it be if Trump used this for his 2020 reelection run?

    S.... E....

    Shawn Edge: Trump doesn't need a song for reelection. There is no Democratic candidate that can possibly beat him... they are all complete jokes that are way too far "Left" to win the Presidency!
